Why no Silver?

I agree. They should bring back the Chocolate Browns like seen on the Allegro

Do Audi still offer the personalised colour option? I spec’ed an S4 Avant a few years ago and it was £3K for ANY colour you wanted.

IIRC @Red220 ordered an S6 Avant on a burnt Orange.

Great idea that doesn’t break the bank if ordering a factory build north of £40-50k

A bigger issue for me is the lack of light interiors. It’s so rare to see light upholstery and roof lining. Really don’t like oppressive black.

Totally agreed along with rear facing third rows - whatever happened to them?

Rear impact crumple zones and NCAP mainly!

My Rustin Allaggro was Sandglow.

I have a theory, as silly as it may seem.

I think AMG is continuing to separate itself from Mercedes by having certain models offered only in AMG and now even common Mercedes colors not being offered.

Anyways, I went with Solid Black with Macchiato Beige interior.

A connoisseur’s choice

Blooming lively it was too. It was a Bentley colour if I remember right, Burnt Orange or similar. There’s a wonderful Mulsanne for sale online in that very colour and it looked wonderful. Mrs D was less keen but what does she know.

I believe that silver is about to make a come back. It’s not an unusual colour now but it’s nowhere near as common as it once was. I sense that will change over the next few years though.

I was going to order my 440i in Sakhir Orange and it would have been £3,000, but they had a quicker build slot if I got a normal colour.
Kind of regret not waiting tbh.

I missed a 3er Touring in Sunset Orange; stunning colour in the sunshine

I see that Siri changed “lovely” to “lively”. Both equally applicable

Love an orange car. These are the ones I’ve owned in the past. The 206 was my first car

Hands up, who sings the thread title in the style of the Boon theme tune?

I’d had absolutely paid extra to have my Vito in Papaya Orange. Opted for Flint Grey. But had I gone with B-Dazz’s recommendation of Selinite Grey I’d have now had a matching Vito-GLC duo.

I don't think that it's a 'Mercedes' thing.

I have just been looking at Hyundai's website. Hyundai offer a large variety of paint colours. The IONIQ 5 comes in 4 different trim levels, and each trim level has different colour options available from the global Hyundai paint colour pool... with the top trim level allowing the smallest number of paint options.

On Hyundai websites in other countries, it's the same story, but with different colour options than the UK cars!

Go figure....

They failed Euro NCAP on rear end collision?

I think you made the right decision

Orange car, anyone...?
