I'm gonna buy a Chevrolet Lacetti but I can't make up my mind about its color.
What do you think?

Blue.

Black is too hard to keep clean, shows any dirt at all.

Silver is too common.

Blue's leading plus my first thought was blue too.
But keep the votes coming!

i like the blue..but think about the int. before choosing a color...sometimes black ext. makes the int. look amazing.

hotwire

Apr 16 2005, 19:21

definitely not white
'cuz my friend have a milkish lookin paint and it gets dirty about 2 days just for driving to school and stuff

black or blue would be a good color
but red is always a way to go

Get black!

black all the way, nothing looks better then a shinny black car IMO
besides my silver grand am

i think many cars look way better in black (who cares if you have to wash it twice as often)
however for this little one - sporty blue looks ok too.

anyway - no way you can judge by the picture, you have to see two of them in blue/black next to each other and deside for yourself@!

(i would most likely get black though)

Pacal

Apr 18 2005, 14:20

I compared blue and black in the flesh and black suites this car more.
I think it's gonna be black than.

Apr 18 2005, 14:27

Black is nice when it's brand new, but if you aren't religious with washing and you don't know what you're doing the paint will look horrible in no time. It's so easy to see swirls and other markings in the clear coat of black paint. Everything is magnified and looks worse on black paint.

yeah a lot of used car dealer stay away from the old black cars.
but i have seen a few 1995 black cars which still look great.
plus if you are buying brand new this should be no problem.

congrats on the new ride.

I'd go with a charcoal grey too. You get a near black, without all the problems

I still dunno.
Blue seemes perhaps more suitable for this car.

I saw one of these in UK... Since Chevvy & Dodge are now in the UK its pretty cool to see these.

Had a 4-door Chevrolet Aveo. It wasn't that good looking but it was a good car. Had no problems with it.

Yeah I would get the blue as well, it looks like a light shade, my truck is a dark blue and it is almost as bad as black......actually right now it is a greenish yellow because of all the pollen

Wow, that isn't a bad car for a Chevy...is it available in the US? Sorry, not a Chevy fan.

Pacal

I think somebody wrote, that it's sold as the Suzuki Reno in the US.

Edit: and as the Chevy Optra5 in Canada.
