Silver is just plain boring. I'd take any color over it, but especially Orion, of course.


What dealer in NY is making you put down 2K? Prestige here in NNJ had me put down 1K, which should be plenty.

Be careful of Ash - people have said that it gets dirty very quickly, and does not clean up nicely.

12 weeks is not too long to wait for the car that you want, esp. since you're buying. I'd order it; who knows, you could get lucky, and get it in 8-10.

Red face orion blue

I have new 05 orion blue. It changes color depending on the light. With the light gray interior it is stunning.

Thumbs up If I had to do it again, I'd get the Orion Blue.

I'd taken delivery of an Orion Blue Couple a couple of years ago and loved the color - too bad the rest of the car wasn't so cool... Love the silver, but would pick and wait for the O Blue...

You'll love it!

Is this thread some sort of off beat reference to "Orion's Belt" from Men in Black? Where are the hidden messages? You can tell me.
