or a darker, Smokey colour?

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

Is that Lord Opti with his new car? ;D

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.
-
Yuk.....grey primer. Or Nardo grey as Audi pretentiously name a colour very similar.
-
Awful colour , still their choice but why ?

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.

Euuugh primer waiting for its top coat.

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. ::)
-
Its the new silver as white has run its course as the must have colour

I made a conscious decision to look at newer cars on my travels this morning and there are lots of them out there. Different shades of grey from off white to thunderstorm sky.

In the 1950's/60's about half of all cars sold in the UK were grey although the whippersnappers who decide what is cool in 2021 probably don't know this.
I always remember being picked up from school in a grey Austin A30/35 with a giant indicator switch set in the centre of a grey metal dash.

Some may think it's an awful colour (and it's not my choice), but a very low mileage 7 year old Audi RS4 in Nardo Grey (Primer colour) sold at auction on Tuesday for £12,400 over the Industry recognised CAP trade figure....
So the Audi dealership that bought it must think that they can sell it even with their mark up..
-
The current Velar is a 'thunder cloud' grey, not decided (or she hasn't) hat colour its replacement will be (which I need to order next week)

In the very early 60's my parents owned a Wolseley 1500 (quite posh in its day) which was grey with an ivory lower half from the chrome trims down. I thought (and still do) that combination suited the lines of the car.

i wouldnt be spending £12400 on a audi in primer personally but as you say its personal choice .

No accounting for taste... Or lack thereof.
Nearly new 'prestige' stuff is at a premium currently. Apparently TCV caused a couple of production plants to 'work from home'... ::)
