We purchased coupe #26 from a dealer in Grandbury, TX Saturday, October 3, 2009. The exterior is Pure. Interior is Black with tan inserts in the seats and doors. 2.4L with automatic. It started raining as we arrived at the dealership and is still raining 20 hours later. The forecast calls for seven more days of rain so we may not get to run around topless for a while, but we're hoping for at least a short break in the wet stuff. The dealer still has coupe #12 for sale. Call Joshua Kellar at (888) 382-8171 and tell him we sent you.

Vikechick, cool color. Not too many coupes made in that color. We'll be at the Canton meet in my wife's Wicked Coupe.

I'd make a poll, but don't know how.
I'm thinking Fresh may be the rarest with Pure a close 2nd, followed by Mean, Brazen, and Red and Black as the most popular.
Every time I wade through this stuff I curse the fact that GM used some TV show to name their car colours - maybe it earned them a few more bucks at the time, but it sure is a PITA for those of us in other marketing areas - in Canada they never used those names, we just know the colours as normal colour names.
Ah well, there are bigger annoyances to worry about, forgive me venting, it's just that when I see this sort post, I always think "What the heck are they talking about?"

Let me translate
Fresh: medium blue. 2009 color only
Pure: white
Mean: yellow
Brazen: orange
Red: aka Aggressive. Wicked is the dark red new in 2009
Black: aka Mysterious

Sly:Medium grey (refuse to call it dark. If it had been like the graphite on the Vipers, I would have jumped at it)
Deep: Dark blue. Changed in 2009 to lose the metallic and may show a little lighter
Cool: silver
Envious: dark green
ok, I'll add:
Magnetic: Carbon Flash. Never officially listed on Pontiac.com, AFAIK, this was a limited color in 2008. VERY dark grey - black with a heavy metal flake. If I have to repaint my coupe, this is what I'm painting it.
Any others?

I completely forgot about that one, and it is a beautiful color in person.

Thanks guys, but I doubt I'll ever bother to try and remember them all. The only one I know is Sly, a silly name for Dark Steel Gray Metallic (my own colour)

I still refuse to call it "dark". "darker" than silver, sure...
