There is a superstition about having a green car in the UK....it will bring bad luck and will always have problems. Everyone I've talked to seems to agree with this point, and will almost invariably launch into an example of owning a green car and what problems they had with it.
When I bought the VW Polo from the dealer, I asked the salesman about this. And he said, yes, it is impossible for him to sell a green car......if they get one on the lot, it will sit for some time and they'll not be able to get as much from an equivalent in any other color. In fact, VW now does not offer their models in green in the UK.
I have not been able to trace why the superstition started, but hope to find that out sometime.
