Colours Can't Find a Royal Blue Type S GT

Nitheawk · 25th October 2008, 18:14

So there I was dribbling over the Pics that S-Royal put on here and thought, yep!! I like my NHB S GT but I would love this new Blue.
Now Honda aren't exactly oozing with good colours to choose from and I guess that most of us chose NHB but this Royal Blue is something else.
So off I surf looking and asking for prices to swop and as Victor Meldrew would say "I don't believe it" There are no Royal Blue Pearl Type S GTs on our little Island, though I did get an extremely good offer if I wanted another NHB................. Pity that so few of this colour have been made

Anyone else have this problem of getting the clour they want?

Is this second hand or brand new? As Royal Blue has been discontinued as a Colour in the Civic. It wasn't the most popular colour in the range either so people who have it love it and aren't so keen to part with it.

I thought the Royal Blue Pearlescent was a new colour, only ever seen three, one of which is on here

Its still showing as an option on the HUK site

No, its not a new colour. It was avalible from the start I believe but it was discontinued during this year

Nitheawk · 25th October 2008, 18:23

Not according to the current colour range. Are you mixing it up with Vivid Blue

Pottsy · 25th October 2008, 18:24

RB is an old colour: Gallery - Civinfo

Sapphire blue is the new one, yet to be seen: 2009 Civic facelift - Civinfo Wiki

I had to travel to York to get my cts gt milano!

angie4m · 25th October 2008, 21:50

Yeah, but that was all because of budgets in both circumstances. I can't make up my mind if the post writer was after a new or second hand one - but again its not due to budget in this case that they can't get the colour they want, its cause they don't make them anymore

I can answer that for you. I was after a new one. I just fell in love with the colour. Obviously budget is a big consideration. I could take quite a hit on my 57 NHB. I have been offered a deal I shouldn't really turn down if I am going to change....... But the enquiry was all about that colour................

As I thought, but I didn't want to just assume either way

Sorry you couldn't get the colour tho. Honda do make some silly decisions

I agree. They definitely make strange decisions as they stopped making the Civic in VB too

HappyMan · 25th October 2008, 23:10

I saw one today in my city. A CTS that is and I thought it looked really nice.

Dimplyred · 25th October 2008, 23:12

As I posted the other day, the Royal Blue looks really classy against the grey trim, it's strange why they have stopped it as an option.

angie4m · 25th October 2008, 23:15

I would say that Royal Blue is the classy alternative to NHB. You may find that the new colour maybe very similar to Royal Blue - just with a different name

Exactly!

I saw an ex-demo Royal Blue CTS last month at Grantham Honda, they also had an 08 VB with delivery miles.
