A lot of things they can’t do,” says JoAnn. “But with me there, I can be their hands, I can be their eyes, I can hear for them.”

Autotrader Names Car Color of the Year

Autotrader has officially named the car color of the year: metallic black, based on consumer vehicle searches carried out during the first six months of 2015.

The color is so popular that an impressive one in four vehicles searched for on the website are black. The most popular black vehicles on the site are the Ford F-150,Chevrolet Silverado andJeep Wrangler, while the most popular black luxury vehicles are the BMW X5, Mercedes S550 andCadillac CTS.

According to our managing editor, Tara Trompeter, “People are more likely to buy cars that reflect their personalities, the same way they do with fashion and accessories. And everyone knows it doesn’t get more classic than black.”
