Bland, Boring Colors

I noticed that most new cars just come in a small selection of very
bland, dull, colors. Do most people like this or are there a lot of
people like me who are not satisfied with those colors? The only
current Subaru color I might find acceptable is bronze, and I'm not
even sure about that one. However, I noticed that Mini Cooper has
about a dozen colors, and most of them are bright, fun colors. That's
more like what I want. If Mini can do this, why can't other car
manufacturers? I've heard people say it costs more money to offer more
colors, but I don't think it would cost a fortune. I think it's more a
case of manufacturers trying to cut costs down to the bone and
squeezing every penny, rather than saving a large amount of money.

I agree with this. I think the manufacturers are thinking that if there
are only a few colors available that's less trouble for them, and that
people will buy the cars anyway.
