Love this color!
I love this color!
This ice-blue shading reminds me of Ferrari's colors of Grigio Alloy and Azzurro California which they use on their 360 Modena.
How can I order one like this?
We're looking at the Aegean Blue (factory) color, but I like this shade better.

I noticed your in Florida, from what I know you'd have to pretty much ask your salesman like crazy because the knowledge I gathered from this thread pretty much says that this is a Designo color.
I just checked www.mbusa.com and they don't have this color, which makes sense as it isn't for this market.

This blue might be slightly more blue than Diamond Silver but, without seeing it in person, it looks a lot like Diamond Silver, which I have seen in person. And Diamond Silver definitely has blue in it, not green as someone suggested above.

robert medic is not going to say no
he just has to say yes to the states
my feeling is that he wont do it
if he doesnt then never mind - get tellur silver - billal seems to think that is fine
me too
