I think it would look better with the top painted chamelon and the cladding stock or charcoal metallic (flat). :cool: Isuzu could have named it Chamelon because the VX changes in looks from every angle. ;)

I have an ebony, but had to vote dragon green. I liked my old dragon so much, that the powers that be simply would not allow me to live with it, heh. May her soul rest in pieces.

I was all about the Ebony with the gray/black innards but when I finally got to see my VX in person before I bought it I realized the leather wasn't really red as much as it is red-orange. I was sold right then because my first bike was orange, my first Jeep was dark orange... and well, crap, my hair is orange too; but they call that red for some reason! So Ebony with red innards and accents - just like Air Jordan! :p

I can't make myself vote on this.

Astral was my first choice but no matter what I wanted the outlandish black/red-orange interior. For exterior color it was an exact tie between Astral, Kaiser, Foxfire and Dragon even though two of those weren't available with the "right' interior. In the end, I just couldn't pass up my Ironman due to it's excellent, provable background history and price even though it wasn't a favorite color. But nw I'm remembering how forgiving white paint is when it comes to looking good even when it's dirty. :)

I think a better poll would stipulate that you have to vote for a different color than what you own. With 4-5 times as many ebony and astral VX's out there it's obvious that one or the other would win.

If you voted for a color that is not yours.. Then all I have to say is shame on you....I picked a color that was just like the color used on the original....Im not knocking the other colors ..But silver is the fastest ...:work:

Lets admit it

Despite not being the highest production color Proton is the obvious winner for favorite color. I drive a Proton and could not imagine driving a different color. I have never understood how people who buy such unique cars pick such bland colors. I mean white and silver are okay for the family truckster but the VX, vettes, Chargers and other unique cars look better sticking out not blending in.

I don't know about Proton being the "favorite" color, but I do think their owners tend to be more fanatical about their VX's (as a group) than many of the other color owners. As evidence compare the percentage of overall Proton owners (479 isn't it?) who've registered on the site vs. the percentage of say Astral or Ebony. If membership in this board is an indicator of above average interest in the VX, I think Proton is probably the highest in that category. You also have to consider the high post count of Proton owners such as Moncha, Marlin, tom4bren, and circmand, the last three of which have only been members for a few years.

So while I won't agree that Proton is the best color (;)) it's easy to see their owners as fanatics.

actually

I joined and lost my log in info when moving and rejoined again 4 years ago or so. But fanatic? Yeah I'll take that label.

Proton is the most polarizing color and would probably win a worst color vote:yesb:

Mine's a PROTON, but if i were to get a companion for it, it would certainly be EBONY BLACK. They'd be sooo coooool sitting side-by-side!!!!! :smilegray

There is a poll at the top of the page and Proton won the best color contest. So not sure what you are talking about.

Lets see how many peeps I can piss off with 1 post:

I like the color of the Foxfire but since I live in "Redskin" country & H8 them, I'd never park one next to my Proton on purpose.

Dragon: Cool name, cool color but I've gotten too many Pick-m & Flick-m comments about the TLC over the years. I don't need no stinking deja-vu.

Ironman: Looks like a fleet vehicle. Nuff said

Ebony: Black cars are sharp, no doubt about it. If I wanted to fry an egg on sumpn though, I'd put an iron skillet in the driveway.

Kaiser/Astral: No comment ... not really a color.

:):):):):):):):):):)

Well Tom I went into my gallery to prove you wrong, but then I noticed that the gap between our two VX's in this photo is much larger than between all the others. Maybe some kind of color force field between us. ;)

Well, as some may have noticed, I haven't been on site in a while. However, to keep all the drama down it's only because I haven't had regular access to a computer. When they finally let me out with time served and good behavior.......j/k.
Anyway, I thought this subject had been highly discussed before and was a mute point. The reason Proton is so popular is all the taxi companies in South Florida want them. There is even a rumor that they may want to export them to Cuba if that market opens up. If that happens I may even consider painting mine "yeller". (Oh and no offense intended here Boss).:smilewink

Handito returns to us in rare form. Diss'n the most popular color and the Boss Man in 1 Swell Foop.

So that's it ("dyslexic"), and all my life I thought I was just an ambidextrous reader.
And to not be completely off subject I'm "color blind" so all the VX's look pretty much the same to me. All of them are dark Kaiser or light Kaiser. Plus what I meant was a "moot" point , but I'll stay "mute" about it.

Excuse me, but I beg to differ. Like the saying goes, "Once you go white, you'll say 'a'ight'."

Clearly the photo from this topic (as suspected) shows the real source of "Pee-roton". Doesn't take a computer "whiz" to realize what's really going on there. :biggringr

I think if you do the math you will find that there are 75 (currently) votes for ebony...so it is clearly the victor...and we all know it's the fastast!:bwgy:

Well to poke back against the Ebony crowd, I think it's pretty sad that you guys could only muster 18 more votes when you outnumber Protons more than 2:1 in production quantity and site membership. Just saying... :D

But so no one thinks I'm not even handed... for RickOKC, I also seem to remember a saying that goes "Once you go black..." :p

LOL! I know that saying: "Once you go black, you have to run the air conditioner even in winter because it absorbs so much heat - unlike the awesome Victory White."

The color of a vehicle should "match" its design...

Another way of saying what has previously been said about Proton. Proton just LOOKS like it should have been the color that the VX was designed around, in my not so humble opinion. And there are VERY few (noncommercial) vehicles that look good or "proper" in yellow - let's face it! But being in the same category as a Fly Yellow Ferrari is O.K. by me; especially here in Orange County CA! A Proton VX just LOOKS more "exotic"...

You have ebony with 2 different interiors that you added together to get your total. For all that Ebony = Black, Black is made up of all colors combined, Therefore Black (ebony contains yellow proton) so votes for proton are the 75 for ebony + over 50 more for proton specifically so we have 125+.

I parked next to a yellow Maserati (sp?) yesterday at the gas pump. He offered to trade but I said no (thinkin that I may have both in my driveway someday - can't believe I said that without LOL).
