Not only that, but infusing the color within the plastic means that you cannot scratch the color off. What does plastic have going against it?
It's a poor choice in very cold climates...

I still have shards of my friends Saturn somewhere after the side of his car shattered from a minor incident at about -40°.

Didn't stop my from buying a Saturn of my own later (well, two actually).
