Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?
Without a doubt, orange. C6 Daytona orange, IMO, IS the 4th gen Sunset Orange Metallic 
On my dad's Formula, that color is like icing on the cake. Plus, assuming I do buy a 5th gen, it will match my 30th nicely 
Maybe I need to be looking for a Medium Orange Metallic IROC to keep the theme alive when the 5th gen makes its way home??

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?
Well, I just figured out why I ran out of room for the 2 silvers, I listed Yellow twice! 
Not that anyone has voted for it, but disregard the 2nd Yellow. Also, the reason I didn't include Hugger Orange was that it wasn't too well received in 99, and the new Daytona Orange color (SOM to you and me 
) seems to be quite popular.

How about "Mangenta" like on the Torrana concept?
j/k
I love that color orange. That color is part of the reason I bought the Cavalier I did. I have plans on repainting my 4th gen that color in the future. I hope to park my 5th Gen of the same color beside it.

Re: What color 5th gen will you buy?
I wanted the 30th anniversary package on my 97 but... I had to settle for Polo Green. So, I'll be getting Arctic white, red racing stripes if they're an option and if not, I'll be shelling out to have them applied.
Either that or Hugger orange.

1.) Black W/White deck stripes
2.) Hugger Orange W/Black Deck stripes
3.) Admiral Blue W/White Deck Stripes
4.) Red W/ Either White or Black deck stripes
They best bring those back! because if not I'm heading straight for the aftermarket for a set! Also, if it truly does look 1st genish I'd consider the hockey stripes too...

If Hugger Orange is not available, then I'd go black. "It's so hard to keep clean
