I'm willing to say that a Evo w/o a sunroof will be more sought-after than one with a sunroof
I was wondering why exactly would people more likely prefer an EVO without a sunroof. I thought that more people would want one with a sunroof.

Just askin'...

A "good" source says that the Blue By You is a limited edition color only available for 2003.

Based on sales, I would say that Yellow will be a non-existant or very rare color next year. Every dealer I see has yellow still on the lot. One dealer I just went to has 3 yellow. They just don't seem to be selling.

Sunroof adds weight. Some would rather for go the sunroof to save weight. Less weight, more power-to-weight ratio.

I know that color choice is very character specific....ie...reserved people don't usually buy yellow or red cars. So if you live in a conservative area, it'll be the Silvers/blacks/whites that sell, and the Yellows/reds/blues that sit a little longer on the lot...because there aren't nearly as many extroverts per capita, as in a less conservative area..

If you live in an area that is not so conservative (CA?), the bright colors will sell...and the more muted ones will sell a little slower.

The only color we HAVEN'T sold is yellow.

Blue is most popular with 3
Silver at 2
and one each for the rest.

The reason I'm asking this is because I'm not sure if I am going to keep my Evo in the near future, so I'm just curious about the resale value of the car. I noticed that the rarer the color, the more sought after the vehicle will be. Look at RSP for the '97 Supra, for example.
