What's your favorite color for Lotus?

diskreet · 08-16-2010, 07:26 AM

I am considering picking up an Elise or Elise SC next spring, but I cannot figure out which color to go with. I want the opinion of people not already part of the Lotus community.

Help me pick which of these colors you like best:
Ardent Red:

Canyon Red:

Liquid Blue:

Isotope Green:

Laser Blue:

Aspen White:

For reference, here are all of the colors (some discontinued) that Lotus offers on the Elise:

I like the grey one but that wasn't an option so I voted for Aspen White.

I should mention that those 6 are the only ones I really like. So it's gotta be from that list.

Thanks for voting!

I'd get the "loudest" possible color there is, probably that green. I just think a car like that screams to stand out as much as possible, and you might as well get a color that accomplishes that.

I agree that it should be a bright vibrant color, however the green looks like someone with a urinary tract infecton pissed in a paint bucket. Personally I like the Laser Blue the best.

Both of them look pretty washed out. Maybe the yellow would be okay. Honestly I thought they offered better color choices than they apparently do.

I don't think there's a wrong answer, because the Elise is gorgeous anyway. But my favorite for this car has always been that bright orange.

I like the Laser Blue.

Maybe Nissan can teach them a thing or two.

Laser blue ftw! Pew pew pew!

Canyon red

How can you say no to a color with "laser" in it?

diskreet · 08-16-2010, 02:41 PM

These are all good replies.
The green i really like but its more pastel in person.
Canyon red is my favorite but I'm not sure it works on this car.
Laser blue looks really Sharp, especially on the 2011 with the new front that i would get.

Thanks for the feedback.
