Stealth mode on?

Given the eyesite of an ageing population I wager a lot of these cars won't be noticed  ::)

My son has a Meteor Grey Skoda Octavia VRS. He's used to the 'When is the top coat paint being done' comments now. It wasn't his first choice of colour but is very well specced so he still bought it.

A quarter of all cars sold in 2020 was grey, apparently.  :-\ It might look trendy for a while but I'd get fed up with it pretty quickly.

I think they're a nice looking little car.......for a female, of course. Make sure she gets exactly the one she wants, no comebacks for you then.

I drove one a few years ago ( courtesy car) have to admit that I was impressed with it  seen a 20 plate with very low mileage on motorpoint £14,995 better than the Aygo definitely.

Grey seems to be very fashionable these days. Looking at houses on Rightmove the majority seem to be decorated in grey emulsion.  :-\

I hate it...  ::)

Mum's Focus is pearl grey. Clean and polished, it looks like dirty silver. Dirty, it just looks drab.
So it's an ugly car, painted a boring colour. I suspect the influence of German designers....

When i was looking to replace my Desmond i drove a metallic grey Saab 9-5. Nice car, lowish miles smooth auto box etc. The trouble was that the interior  was virtually the same colour as the outside, which for me was too much grey. What did i buy? A bloody silver Vectra. ::)
