I'm starting to see quite a lot of 500s around the place now, still a welcome sight. However I haven't seen a single Jive Blue, apart from mine, on the road. Lots of White, and I think every other colour. Why not Jive, despite it being a no cost option. I like it, which is all that matters to me after all, but Why?

Crap colour maybe?

I thought that and was told the only no cost colour is white ?

if no one wants that colour new, then its going to be harder to sell it used

There is a phrase used in the motor industry "Doom Blue" Most models have their own shade of it. The GPs is Rock and roll Blue.

I'd like to know why there aren't more Mod Blue cars on the road. It's such a deep, reflective colour! It looks absolutely stunning matched with the chrome bumper inserts and a-bar. I wish I'd have had mine in that colour now.

I have a Mod blue and I love it! But I would love Jive blue even more if it came in metallic colour rather than flat one... I think thats why its not so popular as it is neither very retro (like more obvious Ye ye green or white) nor very sporty (like black or mod blue).

Everybody who has seen my Jive Blue in the flesh has commented how good it looks in the flesh. But without the chrome bits it looks very different indded

We saw pictures on the web of the Jive Blue and it does look good, if you like the more retro styling. The blue and cream/white check looked good with it.

I'm not sure that there are the range of combinations of interior that will go as thee is with other colours.

We were waiting to see a Jive Blue before ordering our YeYe, but no dealer had them on display, these retro colours have to bee seen to be appreciated.

I'll try and find the pictures and provide a link.

When my Cha Cha blue fell through, I was going to order Jive. Then I saw the Orange and bought that. I do like the pics Ive seen of Jive but its the only colour Ive not seen yet.
So far, the one colour I really dont like on the 500 is silver, saw one and really didnt like it at all.

So despite my "tongue in cheek" comment earlier it seems people mostly (although not exclusively) prefer other colours.... obvious really...

I agree, never gave it a second thought, but see it in the flesh and it looks really good.

Punk Grey IMO is another colour that looks really fab in the flesh....

I agree about Jive blue, and I've ordered it too so there will be another on the road, just as soon as Fiat get my wee 500 from Poland to Dundee.

I'd like to say I bought it because of the retro look but in all honesty I bought it because the salesman convinced me a Mod Blue car was actually Jive Blue. I'm waiting until its delivered before raising that point...
