Best Looking Color for the 2012 Sport

I know this is a question that has already been scratched on many times.However, I'm finally in the market to trade in my nighthawk black pearl GD3. My local dealership has 3 fits at the moment, and none of them are sport models.

The color that is in stock first!

Seriously though I probably could have settled on any of the Fit Colors.

Thanx for the advice. I also forgot to mention that I want my next Fit to be an auto sport.

I dig the orange. Salesman said it has changed and used to be very bright.

I went with the orange but all the colors look really nice for 2012. If I had a preference it would have been orange -> blue -> white.

I really like the 2012 Orangeburst - very striking. Blue Raspberry would be my 2nd choice, then Blue Vortex

Another vote for Blue Raspberry. I have received more comments on this color than on any car I have ever owned. Mine is the Sport model. (One thing, it was the only color my dealer had.....) I would have ordered it anyhow....

If you don't have a color you specifically want, a rule of thumb is to get one of the colors pictured in the sales brochure. I prefer white or silver for a cooler cabin, but I am not really picky. When I bought my 07 in May of 06 Fits were few and far between. I got "vivid blue pearl". It's ok by me.

Typically, white, silver and gray cars will be easier to resell and are the most popular on the road. It honestly seems like a majority of people on this forum have a Storm Silver Metallic color which is no longer made. Alabaster Silver or the whichever they are offering now (polished metal metallic?) is of course still nice. White is popular for the JDM thing with red badges and the type-r look. I think stock, it's a little too "soft" if not feminine and have even heard one owner in remorse over it. I know I would be, and I was looking for only white fits to start with. However, once they are slammed and the whole bit, there is almost nothing prettier than a white Honda.

I'm particular to colors and car models, as there can make or break a design. That said, the Fit looks good in almost all its colors. I'm not partial to orange or the blueberry color that I don't think is being made, so those are out for me. I think that black is the worst color on the fit from a design standpoint.

Dark blue is my favorite of the hued fits. On the 2012 and up models, I'm liking red, since red looks good with black, and there is more black accents on the new design. Get one and tint the windows, and that's a pretty eye catching setup stock. Lots of opinions, but it's my .02 on the matter.

Oh, and that lighter blue color can look hot, but needs mods to set it off.

IMO, taffeta white. Looks very presentable when clean and is more forgiving when it comes to swirls and minor paint defects. Yeah I agree, the TF does look very feminine when stock; I know because mine is stock right now >..< Lower it and add window visors, the TF Fit Sport is starting to look hot.

Is it just me or are the 2009-2010 Sport rims different colour than the 2012 rims?

Red has the worst resale value

I own a Black 2012 sport AT. I used to hate black cars until now!

Red isnt the best but it also isnt the worst in resale. I think Milano Red would count as a bright red.
