Not a fan of the blue but the grey looks like it could become the most popular colour from the performance golf palet though.

If I was paying for a colour, it probably would be that one.

You don't have to look too far to find Indium grey. Every 2nd Passat / Tiguan I see on the roads is that colour. It does look smart, a bit like Audi's Daytona. I'd say it'd look well with the contrasting red GTI bits. Not sure about it on an R... would it make the car look too anonymous...

Better than limestone grey anyway by a few country miles imo.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

Isaac on a GTD.
It'll work well with the grey bits which will be slightly lost on a grey car.
Plus it's just a bit different.

Indium grey looks almost the same as carbon grey yeah I'm bias but if it was a choice now for a new car it would be the Indium grey as said can see this being as popular as the carbon grey is..  :whistle:

I'm in the Isaac camp out of the two colours.

I also like Atlantic Blue too.

Indium Grey looks just like Carbon Grey to my eyes. Not necessarily a bad thing but a few new vibrant  shades would have been nice.
Seat have a better choice of colours in my opinion. Why can't VW give a better selection of colours!

Anyone seen a decent picture of the White Silver Metallic ?

I think VW may already do this on the Beetle ?
