Maybe they should add something like BMW's Valencia Orange or Porsche's Speed Yellow for the Gti and / or the R version . I can never believe how dull VW is with their color palette . Color is such a visceral thing that can make or break a car .

In Europe we have the option to choose what ever color we want, and pay VW to paint it int that color. It's expensive as h***.
This option comes when the first big "load" of cars are out the door.

AUDI of America charges $1500.00 (A3, A4, A5) for any color ever sold by Audi and $3500.00 for any color on mother Earth. Price goes up on A6, A7, A8, Q7.

VW could certainly use some better colors. The basics are nice but something brighter would be sweet.

Pacific blue with bright red tails would look quite nice. The dark blue is a little too dark for me.
2001 A4 1.8t Quattro MT, ST coils, S4 Grille, S4 skirts, S4 door sills, 17" Borbet Type E's, APR STG2...

There are really on 3 "colors" to choose from. The other 4 options are just different shades of gray. I am so sick of black, white, and silver/gray cars. I am really hoping that VW will offer a nice orange or green for the GTI.

Other than Pacific Blue at extra cost (and which I hope we get), the same boring color palette that's offered here. I would have expected that in Europe where they actually buy the Golf, VW's bread and butter, they'd give the home team a better standard selection. At least we don't have to pay extra for Tungsten Silver.

I'm curiousing about real photo of Uranograu colour...
And will product launch colour (like honey) sell?

A pointless and random observation, but I noticed that on the "German" website, some of the colors are identified by English rather than German names. Ie, in German, silver is silber, blue is blau, etc.

As white has become the new grey in terms of popularity I notice VW have cottoned on to this business opportunity & is charging £200 extra for what was a base colour...

sign me up for pacific blue metallic. i doubt it will make it here to north america. we had shark blue until mid year when it was dropped. now we get white, black, red, dark blue and 50 shades of grey. wait it's not even that exciting.
