I bought the yellow/Black limited Dec. 15th. I was looking at the red/merlow last year but saw the yellow and loved it. I have right at 7K miles on it already. No extra glare from the paint, more glare from the chrome center console like one other poster stated. I also like it that you do not see many ultra's in yellow like that. I do think cagers see it a little easier (if they are actually looking) had one last weekend pull out in front of me but I had already slowed down because I could tell they were not looking my way. The bad thing is I think the bugs see it better to because every time I take it out I come back with it covered in bugs.

I would make them roll it out in the sun so you can get it. It looks different in sun. Has some green metal flake in certain lighting. I would say as long as you like the color go for it.

But as others have said, get the color that calls your name!


Good Luck,

To the OP: As you can tell by now, there is no consensus on ANY color (even black, which I think is boring). Get what you like and ignore anyone that doesn't like it.
