Can we include the R here?  :wink:

I have Lapiz today. It's obviously the signature R colour and really stands out from the crowd. Lovely pop off it in this sunny spell too. But if I were to change to yet another one I could hardly go Lapiz again... that would just compound the madness! Trouble is, the rest of the colour palette is so meh...

I've had white so I don't really want to go there again.
Black - no way.
Red - not for me either.
Atlantic blue - it's a bit too mid-range-Passat for me.

I'd probably lean towards Indium grey but I'd be concerned (like McCaff) that it would just look too drab under our mostly dull grey climate.

I prefer Lapiz to any other of the current range.

That'd be the colour i'd go for if it weren't restricted to the R.

Interesting that Oryx white doesn't seem very popular. Probably as there are now two other less expensive whites to choose from.

It's too expensive and most punters would struggle to tell it from the cheaper (free in Ireland!) flat white.

Wish they hadn't removed the CG...don't understand that decision, absolute knock out colour for the GTI with all the red accents...any way Ive ordered dark iron blue as the next best substitute but I fear it may look dull in many conditions...to me the CG seemed to handle dull and still look fresh.  :smiley:

I quite agree. I don't really see the need to offer 3 different shades of white anyway, when almost all the other choices available are quite austere. It would have been nice to have something different like a Firespark Red to choose from.

I like some of the metallics but I LOVE Tornado Red. I think it's one of the best shades of red I've seen on a car, it really glows and stands out in a sea of dreary drizzle :whistle:
