Every country and culture seems to have to go through its fads and fashions. China does it at breakneck speed. Last year, it was gold. Now, the Bling Dynasty is succeeded by The King. Elvis-style pink cars suddenly are all the rage, and who else than Carnewschina to keep track of them? Don’t fancy Chinese and The King? There you go: Suddenly, cars are pinkos in Red China.
The pink of this Beetle could be a standard color for this kind of a car, for females and people who feel like one.
If you like it more manly, yet effete, how about this Lamborghini Gallardo? Don’t worry about the resale value. This color will be sought after in China, at least for the next 6 months.
Can’t get enough pink?
Carnewschina has a pink Suzuki Alto, a pink old Suzuki Alto, a pink Porsche Cayenne, a pink Volkswagen Passat, a pink Porsche Cayman, a pink Ferrari California, a pink Bentley Continental GT, a pink Mercedes-Benz SLK, a pink MG-TF, and a pink Audi TT.
Perhaps they should try to import some MARY KAY Cadillacs?
Mary Kay’s pink is so kawaii, it doesn’t look out of place on our roads.
Worst color, ever. I can’t remember any kind of merchandise that looked great in pink. Do you?
Marital aid?
I will admit that there is a lot I don’t understand about the Chinese psyche.
There was a period in the late 60s/early 70s when just about every car, American or Euro, came in orange, in homage to the then-dominant McClarens, perhaps. Hard to find orange cars in these colorless days of silver, white, black and gray.
I think pink is more of an homage to Hello Kitty. Which is an extremely recognizable and popular brand originating from Japan.
What are you on about? Steve McClaren was never dominant either as a player or as a manager. He does have orange coloured hair though.

Pink is always in fashion with some people. Never in fashion for the rest of us.
My daughter LOVES pink. But twelve-year-old girls don’t buy many cars.
Has China been through the roof rack trend yet?
Didn’t even have to click through from the front page to get an awful pun… Pinko? Bertel, you dog! :) :) :)
Too bad you missed the one about the pink Audi titties…
“What are you on about? Steve McClaren was never dominant either as a player or as a manager.”
He means Bruce McLaren as in 1971 Can Am Racing cars which were famously orange and infamously successful in Can Am.

However I’ve never heard of this Steve McClaren fellow, so I guess we’re even.
Still, this being an automotive website, I rather doubt that you’ve ignorant of the facts, particularly noting that McLaren as a company (without Bruce McLaren who is deceased) is still active in F1 racing.
Therefore I suspect a British sense of humor which couldn’t resist taking advantage of a misspelling to make a joke, such as it is.
Jokes, frogs… Vivisection.
