Not sure people really hate them, but they don't attract the same level of interest. Gold, tan, beige ect. all in the same boat. You look on ebay and a pink or purple cuda will have lots of bidders and a boring colored one won't have as many people wanting it.

I like a good paint job more than the color I think. I'd rather have a green car with flawless smooth as glass paint than a red car full of waves and 80 grit sanding scratches.
