I was at a stop light and there was a yellow new beetle across the intersection and yellow new new beetle crossing left , so including me that's 3. I would have thought silver would be really common but I never see any There's the occasional red or green, a couple blue convertibles and 1 white I saw a few days ago, but mostly I see yellow. Do you think that's the most common or do I only have eyes for yellow?

Reflex Silver...

Silver for sure.

I would agree with the others....silver bugs are everywhere. Around here I see them all over and frequently end up parked near one.

And Platinum Grey.... especially it seems like every turbo S i see is pg....

Has to be silver. I also see a lot of white and cyber green NBs here too.

Really? I know silver is very common among cars in general but I just don't see silver beetles around. Come to think of it, when I was looking at ads for a beetle I didn't restrict by color, but in my price/year/mileage criteria I think there were 2 greens, 3 yellows, 1 blue, 1 black and 1 silver in the short list. Guess it's just chance then because I was beginning to think beetles might be mostly yellow. Ha! Shows how much I know.

I think yellow just stands out more, especially when you drive a yellow one. Maybe that's why you see them the most? It's ok, I drive a yellow one, I'm biased too

When looking at car-selling sites like Autotrader, Cars.com, or Carsoup, silver is by far the most common color of used NB for sale. But with the 21st Century 12+ models, I see pretty much all the colors except Toffee Brown. Those seem to be rare.

I don't have a yellow Beetle, but I really do like the way they look, too.

Probably silver but everyone has their own opinion b/c people notice different colors. Just because I might happen to see 3 black bugs today does not mean there are more black bugs on the road than any other color.

I would say blue if you combine all the 20 or so blues together.

4 yellow
2 black
3 silver



I'm surprised there are no greens at all this time But logically it does stand to reason silver would be the most commonly purchased overall. I'm lucky my best choice at the time was yellow since that is what I wanted. And now that you mention it, counting the variations of blue I have seen more around than I realized.

Yeah, when I was little my older sisters had me yelling "PEANUT!" every time I saw a beetle on the road, now I'm a kooky lifelong beetle watcher. :nblove:

Down here where I live, I see yellow ones EVERYWHERE! I even saw an old man in one the other day and he had a 'dream catcher' hanging from his rear view mirror! Lol! There are a few blue and red verts but that's it. I rarely see any other color but I think yellow does stand out more unless it's like mine which is 'mellow yellow'. That's probably why I bought the daisy magnets for her because the mellow yellow just doesn't stand out like the sunflower yellow does.
