C2 is the panarama roof and rain sensing windshield wipers.

Talking Magma red rules! Next to Orion Blue :-)

Ah,
I considered the magma red, being a lover of Italian cars, coulda been right up my alley!
Was it that my girlfriend of 3 years always says how she hates red?
Or was it the statistics showing that red cars get more tickets?
Or was it just that after seeing Orion blue, I
just had to have it? Or perhaps all of the above.

Nice thing, the C5 package....I have yet to see a car in any lot that had it!
Basically you get the Bose package for free!
When I bought my car, they searched for a
Orion blue car with c5, and c7, and auto, and there wasn't a single one on any lot in the USA!

But there was ONE O-Blue, with the options seperate, minus the Bose, in CA, and I got it!
Otherwise it was a 2 month wait.

Nice thing about the magma red, it's a stock color, no extra charge. But alas, I beleive it's only available with black interior, and I really like the oyster. WAH! ;-)
Overall I'm still torn, magma red IS one of the best colors on this car....next to Orion Blue.
Or how about that lime green ;-)
Anybody have one?

You can park next to me, but Magma Red will be noticed, blue not so much, there dime a dozen. just kidding, but red sure does stand out in a parking lot.

Actually in the US you can get magma red with oyster cloth or leather, you just have to pay $1150 extra for the "special order." My dealer had one with each combination recently. I like them too but I'm not sure I'd pay extra for it. Seems unfair.

I think I drove a citron green coupe at the 2001 Power Trip. Looked OK but I'm not sure I'd want to drive it every day. Maybe if I could have two of them, my second one could be citron green.
