Blue cars... AIBU to wonder if I'm the only one noticing them?!

Blue cars everywhere.
I actually really like it, such a change from black n white

They are EVERY where here all of a sudden.

My friends and I were crooning over a few parked outside school this morning... So pretty.

Anybody else?

Yellow cars are better.

Yellow car

Yes! Particularly loving that amazing bright teal/blue I'm seeing about at the moment.

I have a starlight blue mini with a white roof. Pretty pretty pretty.

Wait till you start playing yellow car!
You think there aren’t many about and then end up with a dead arm

I'm looking for a new car. Blue is the colour I've picked

Always playing.

It's just so lovely.
How does it work?
Do they discount the blue ones to get a trend going?

Nah, boring.
I have a lovely yellow car.

I do tend to win at yellow car.

How many otters can you get in a yellow car?

(Sorry, OP)

I have a blue car - I notice it every day

I just bought a teal blue car. Not for the colour, it was just the best car out of those on offer.

The cars are all red or black here. All of them. It's a sea of red and black. The red ones are small cars, the black ones are SUVs.

Blue is my favourite colour and everyone in the family has a blue car.

So... Its not just me, its third most popular!

It’s the return of the late 90s, used to a lot around then, I bought one as my first new car and there was a lot around. How retro

I see a bright blue car several times a day

I’ve got a bright blue car, I think it’s proper name is vivid blue.

My son and I play the yellow car game, we call it banana though. We just shout banana if we see one! And we do the mini game, where you nip the other person if you see a mini. We seem a bit nuts written down actually

We wanted blue for our last car but have continued the red theme instead. My 3rd red car.

People got fed up with the grey/silver ones.

It sort of mirrors the trends in interiors, I think - think of the muddy green, orange and yellow cars of the 1970s and the trends in homes at the time, black and red in the 1980s (think of the detail on a black VW Golf GTi, an Alfa Romeo, an Escort or BMW 3 Series, for example, compared with the black ash flatpack from MFI and the red grouting around kitchen tiles) recently grey and silver were trendy - grey and silver cars were everywhere, then you have the F&B blues and soon, I think, you'll have more green cars.

The important question in all of this is -

What bonus points do you give for an orange or purple car?

I saw a beautiful metallic forest green car today is was 🥰

Blue is my favourite car colour!

I've just got a new blue car. I love it! It's almost a purple colour in some lights. It was that or black. But black's a bit boring....

Pick up my new car next week and have gone for blue ! Current car is dark grey so fancied something a bit more colourful this time.

I've had several blue cars. I think it is my favourite colour. One was a dark metallic blue golf and I've had three bright blue Skodas over the last 10 years or so. the colour is called Race Blue on Skodas. As my current one is 2 years old it appears I might be ahead of the trend.

I hope blue doesn't become overly popular like grey and silver was, as I used to drive a lot of hire cars and it made it difficult to find the right car in car parks. Having a bright blue car that stands out amongst a sea of grey makes it much easier.

Red is the best colour for a car.
Not silver. I hate silver cars, although I have one.
Blue is not for me either.

We bought a new (second hand) car last year and DH got annoyed at me for discounting two "suitable" cars on the basis of their colour. He didn't understand my argument that it can't be "suitable" if it's the wrong colour 😡
