I was talking to someone about why American cars tend to be black/white/silver/cream. Apparently having a fashionable colour can date a car too quickly and destroy its resale value. So the chartreuse colours you see on Holdens won't be on the Pontiacs they are importing. It is a wierd sort of commercial conservatism. I guess it is just the companies responding to the markets; Honda/Toyota/etc have equally boring colour choices.
