you can always have your car painted or wrapped. No reason the car has to come from the factory in a more interesting style

Also, I suspect it won't be long before you can get an LCD wrap or an e-ink wrap. Have already seen backpacks with animated displays.

Re-painting a car is expensive. It would be nice to have some better color options from the factory.

Wraps can be a cheaper option, but they also have a very different look than automotive paint.

The only people that notice the different look are those who "know", wraps serve the purpose for 95% of people at a fraction of the cost.
