I would argue this is 2010's and people just can't afford the new colorful 2020 cars, they all seem bright and colorful.

    Every new car I see on any car lot other than a Volkswagen one is just full of white, black, blue and red.

    The new microbusses and old beetles (both kinds) are colorful. One lot a few blocks away even has a jetta with that "lego" thing going on where every panel is a different color. I always liked when they did that.

    Toyota is famous for their wildly colorful cars in the TRD lineup. Magma Orange, nori green, and that like Smurf blue color.

    Ford has a vibrant blue as well. GM doesn’t deviate from bare colors much, but Ram/dodge will as well. Patriot blue, fire engine red, delmonico red, and plum crazy.

    Porsche has full paint to sample.

    Mercedes is basically famous for black cars so…

    Anyways, cars have colorful variants, just the consumer base either isn’t willing to wait for the order, or they don’t want to pay the extra 500-900 dollars most non-standard paint color costs.

    Also, a lot of manufacturers offer up tri coat white metallic which obviously looks boring from afar, but up close is very vibrant.

    we tried to buy a vw electric microbus last year and they wanted $100,000; most dealers got TWO in 2024 if they got any, and so VW just let them set whatever price they thought they could get. fucking bonkers way to run a car company.
