Thats a nice color, but it really doesn't fit a sports car per say. I would like to see that color on a CLS or CL. Still nice though. A SLR rolling down the highway in that color would still cause a stir for sure.

I'd say one of the new stock colors -- although I have only seen about a third of them, and I haven't seen this one before.
Thanks, I'm collecting them (the colors!).

As far I as know it's available in silver, black, darkblue and dark green (metallic, of course) as "standard", where dark blue and dark green are "new" colours. I could be wrong though, but that is what I was told at the Frankfurt-exhibiton this autumn.

But if you ask gently (pay, in other words) I guess they can paint it in any designo-color or even a completly new color.

I will say sometime in February (because that is vague enough...).
I'm hoping to get a complete set of both interior and exterior color options....

That's cheap! The Carrera GT was $15k for a custom paint job.

$4,000 was what it cost to paint the calipers a different color (on the CGT)

Most of the european manufacturers that I've come across wll give you paint-to-order or paint-to-sample for less than $4,000 USD...Porsche, on the other hand, charges you an arm and a leg for everything, it seems!
What's up with that?

104 different SLRs would sound better, IMHO.
