That green looks like a 2,200 Euro option though.....!

I like it, but not enough to pay an extra €2,200 for it though.

Green is making a come back, recently seen reviews of new SQ5 and RS5 both in green.
... I would never have a car that is the same colour as a hedge. Or a dark grey car that is the same colour as the road. I want a car that can be easily seen and contrasts with its surroundings. Not one that is practically invisible in many conditions.

I'm sure plenty of people disagree with me. After all, they have no problem seeing these cars. However, in the UK, we get plenty of dark rainy days when visibility is poor for everyone. Also, there are plenty of people driving who don't have perfect eyesight.

Or the same colour as a bus :laugh:

Or blue as that might blend in with the horizon :-)

Imagine if they put bright daytime running lights on car so they could be seen more easily, now there is a plan that could take off!!

Yes think daylight running lights and auto lights have eradicated the problem of grey and black cars...!  :smiley:

Hard to really see the shading of white silver in those pics. Any white silver cars I have seen have been basic Golfs and did not look good so would be keen to see a GTi in the flesh.

If you don't like the colour, I don't think a red stripe and a GTI badge will make much difference.

It does appear to be a marmite colour. Some people really like it. Many people really don't.
