They only made the Copperhead for the first half of the 2010 run, not even for the rest of production.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if that's correct. My 2010 has a build date of June 2010.

Black looks great but it is hard to keep it clean.

I was really bent on the Corsa Blue because a well polished one looks fabulous under the Texas sun. However, with my penchant for making my car unique, the only choice in graphics I would have had would be white or silver which would make me look like a Cowboys fan. Not gonna happen. I believe I am now in the bright silver fan club. I'll probably add two fat stripes of cherry red, purple or traffic cone orange...

Copperhead only lasted for 2010, and when I bought my car in March '10, they weren't even importing them anymore. But Copperhead is without a doubt the best color, followed by Corsa Blue and Racing Red.

That color is just beautious. To this day, though I love Corsa Blue, I still want a Copperhead car...that pic is just creamy, lol. Maybe one day I'll do a complete repaint??? LOL!

I really love my silver Koup but I'm apparently a minority on this one...

I don't know why this is still being debated. Everyone knows Racing Red is clearly the superior color as it is the only one that actually makes the car go faster.

I wanted a corsa blue but my dealer only had silver. I'm pretty disappointed with you all, downgrading silver like this! FFS silver is the least favorite?!?

p.s. I've seen some white Koups here in upstate NY with NY plates...I know you all say only CAN has em, but you really think people drive all the way to canada for a friggin car?

just want to put my 2 cents in lol... Spicy Red all the way!!! Plus they don't even make that color anymore or at least in the States they don't. After that I would go racing red then titanium.

They stopped offering it in the states due to realizing they had a superior shade of red that was killing Spicy's sales.
