5th gen too flashy???
Forgive me if that's a noob q., I have to ask because I'm seriously considering the '09 Cam as an everday means of transportation. That said, I don't want something that's going to be attracting a whole lot of attention, I like a car that looks and goes and keeps a smile on my face all the while. I don't want a car that's going to become the local sheriffs "best freind", I like to be "under the rardar" as much as possible, dont' want to get sh** from cops just for driving a muscle car.

Paint goes a long way in keeping a low profile.

The Pontiac "G8" sounds appealing though.Color choice is most definately key, I agree. My current car is silver, I've managed to speed through parts of town past cops without them really noticing until the last min when I'm just a bit too far down the road for them to really cat ch up (but neither is my car a low slung two door coupe, it's a four door european sports sedan). I will always buy a silver car, so hopefully that works.

Polo Green is a good one too, especially here where the dominant colour is green (Or red because of a pine beetle infestation). Red is a bold colour and is the first colour that the human eye sees so any shade thereof will definitely draw attention.

Do you live in Hazard County in a moonshinin' ***-backwards small town owned by Boss Hogg? If you do then yeah, maybe a Green Mailbu is a abtter choice. I've never been hassled in my bright blue C5 which isn't exactly quiet or inconspicuous. Just take care not to attract unwanted attention.
