Looking to get a 911 instead. I'm not sure it's possible to get a real sports car thats 150k+ and get no attention.

I think that's likely a reflection of your location. You wouldn't have this same "problem" in Miami, LA, or the NYC suburbs.

I would be all over a GT3 Touring if I were you. GT Silver with alloy wheels is a great looking combo and should do a good job flying under the radar.

Dodge has plenty of interesting colors.

I do see a lot of different blue's these days which is nice but red has been really neglected. I always considered dark, burgundy stile reds are gross and IMO there aren't enough bright reds. It's sad that Mazda (Soul Red Crystal) offers a nicer red than BMW does as a standard color on most of their lineup.

True. I really like the Mazda red.

Have you noticed that manufacturers have similar color options around the same time period? When one company introduced brown metallic, every other company would also have that color available. I have a feeling it's more about the paint supplier who's making the color choice. BMW or Mercedes aren't going to manufacture their own paint they will rely on companies like PPG or BASF.

Man it happens every year. The Nardo/Chalk gray phase. Now the San Marina Blue phase w/ BMW & Honda.

Personally I like the "muted" colors just for the purpose of staying under the radar. However, I wouldn't mind being caught in Alpina Green or Twilight Purple.
