155,055 PointsThe issue here is that your current code is written as if it's attempting to call the getColor method on the GoKart class. What you want to do is call the getColor method on the actual object: you want to get the color of the new GoKart object you have created. You also need to use parentheses in your method call (this is a syntactical requirement.)
GoKart color = new GoKart ("red");
System.out.printf("The GoKart color is %s\n", color.getColor());
I also recommend choosing a name for the new GoKart object that has to do with it being a new GoKart. For example: goKart, or newKart.
