pepper white mcs.

[warren33]

The latest brochure says mcs in pepper white 1st qtr '03.My dealer says they were told 3 months ago that the s would never be available in white.Anybody know which is correct.

I was told the same by a guy who works at my dealers - he wanted one in pepper white and was told they weren't planning to make them in that colour. This was early Nov so, things could have changed since then.

Could you scan that brochure and post it?

If I had a nickel for all the things I tried to get a Pepper White MCS...I even offered to pay the $1500.00 BMW color option fee. No go. This better not be true for my sake though my build date is today so if it is true, I suppose I could always wait another year to get my car...
Had to settle with "pure silver" black roof. $400 just for metallic paint...
I still think orange would have been a big hit.

My dealer sent me an e-mail today saying that the s was to be available in white in '03 due to public demand!.

Eeek! Better for causing other drivers to pull off the road with a migraine, perhaps!

Eye-catching comes to mind.

Y'know, seeing that tangerine colour made me think...

I was at a Nissan/Infiniti dealership today with my old man (just killing time, folks, not to worry!) and they had new 2003 Xterras in a colour called "Atomic Orange".

This hue was straight out of the 1970s paintbox. It looked exactly like my dad's 1974 Beetle: solid non-metallic medium orange without a lot of "shock" value (i.e. it wasn't ratcheted up to singe your eyeballs from 100 paces).

Methinks it would make for a stellar MINI colour....

I like the orange, too. The fuzzy one is looking at trading his Rendezvous in on a Honda Element, and he would get the orange one.

[Humourl3ss]

A Honda Element?

Eeek!

Sorry, I can't help myself. Coming from owning three Honda products in a row prior to the MCS, I should be all gung-ho about them, but the Element strikes me as a real retrograde step for Honda.

But the fuzzy one just loves ugly cars! I had to beat him with a stick to keep him from buying an Aztek! The Rendezvous is built on the same frame, but it looks a little better.

For those discussing an orange MINI, how about this photo?

That's a beauty! Wonder if I could still get the green leather?
