I also am not impressed by the Oryx white.... quite happy with a more flat colour.

Still looks just like white to me. My mates just sold his Audi 200 turbo what was pearl white still just looked white unless you were close up,

The additional price of paint these days is just a rip off IMHO (like many other optional extras).  I would love to see the exact finances on how much extra a metallic finish truly costs a manufacturer.

Even Vauxhall now charge £200 extra for Summit White on an Astra  :rolleyes:

I'd be quite happy if they had a white called 'white van white' for cheapskates like me.

Now 'summit' white. That sounds pricey.

Then there's 'oryx white'...wow! Premium!

BTW. Why have they called it 'oryx' white? An oryx isn't even slightly white. It's brown:

Couple of decent pictures of Oryx white in Lee's thread, and we all know what a washing machine looks like! >:D
