Will people be biased towards the orange because of all the marketing of the car in that color?

Personally, I like the Orange, but realistically, you won't be able to park that car anywhere where people will be due to the crowds it'll draw. I have that experience with my Ford GT Heritage colors.

If I somehow get to order one, it will be orange.

My GT-3 is going to be red so I didn't fall for the advertising!

Isn't it strange that white is coming out so strong for the RS? I like white - if I can't have that, then it's Black with Orange. If the RS price is higher than that for a TT I'll switch to a standarde GT3 with an RS wing where white is no problem.

Unfortunately, considering those strong poll results, there will be no white on the RS that I have heard. silver black orange and green only.

I really like black. Infact all my cars are dark colors. So for me its gotta be black with black wheels and orange decals.

I think the Orange might be better for re-sale, but I have never cared about what I will get for a car when I sell it later.

With silver wheels since did not want orange. Black not available unless dealer retro at £750.

Looks like trip to the paint shop?

The silver wheels don't look right with that color combo. I'd go black wheels and paint the calipers orange as well, that would really be slick.
