statistcly if you check your insurances, red cars are more of a liability. not sure about more about being pulled over but it;s a possibility

Sorry you are WRONG....

My best friends dad has been a state farm agent for 28 years and i just called him. They in no way use color to determine insurance costs.

Some factors that DO determine policy costs. Drivetrain (4wd) Body style (suv, sports car) and repair costs are just a few he named.

GREAT car. Such an amazing car at an even more amazing price! If I was in the market for a new car in that price range, that would be IT. Every magazine compares it to the BMW 550i, and its half the price!

Congrats man, enjoy the hell out of the car, I know you will.

I heard that having a red car costs more for insurance, but never knew whether or not it did.

well, I was just guess.


But statisticly, someone has crunched some numbers somewhere. Im willing to bet cops will go after the young buck driving the 'Ferrari' red car first, Lol

either way, it's all situational im sure.

Nope. This car is cheaper to insure than the mazda! A $100 cheaper every 6 months. I couldn't believe it when they told me (state farm)!

Mazda was given to the parents. They took over the payments. They were shopping for a car for my brother to have at school, I gave them the easy way out, and they took it. No muss no fuss for them.

G8's are great cars, built on the Holden Commodore.

wrong there, Pontiac and BMW have both been doing the split grill for a LONG time. Its more along the lines that both companies went with a split grill seperately. Both split grill designs can be traced back to the beginning of the century.

1929 Pontiac Roadster, notice the split grill.


1932 BMW 303


The split grill had gone through changes with both companies but its pretty much something that both companies have done. Pontiac did not emphasize it as much, some think it may be due to World War I being that BMW is a German company.

You're right I'm wrong.
And I won't bring up how much Corvettes have style-shared from Ferraris over the past 50 years.
It's all been done.
