Colours Is Cosmic Grey Pearl metallic a limited edition colour?

tweedie · 23rd February 2007, 18:52

Hello All,

Just want to introduce myself as a possible new civic owner! Can't wait!

Just a simple question -- I was offered an '06 "Cosmic grey pearl" car which I was told that its not being used for the 07 models. Now, at first I thought, hmmm, is that cos its not a popular colour and its not metalic?

Anyway, the sales person says that its a "limited edition colour" and it is "metallic" -- is he telling t the truth? Just that the honda brochure postfix all colors with "metallic" and isn't stated for the cosmic grey.

What do you think? Truth or bull?

Thanks
Tweedie

ps - great forum!

It's a pearl colour. It is basically metallic, but just has a pearl finish.

Basically you had to pay extra for it, and IMO its a good colour. Hides dirt.

Nice colour, hides dirt and you be like José Mourinho " a special one ,

as cars of this colour will be harder to see on the roads.

Cosmic Grey was my first choice but the dealer reckons that it is being phased out during 2007 and therefore not a wise decision.

Went for Galaxy Grey instead.

I don't think Cosmic Grey was a limited edition, it was a "main choice" colour which has been discontinued. It's for you to wonder why.

I am entirely unsure why. I will say one thing though, I have no chips, scratches or issues with my paintwork whatsoever.

I wish I could say that, my current IS200 is pebbledashed. Never had a problem on any previous car to the extent this one has suffered.

I am therefore expecting to get the same on the Civ as water based paints are nowhere near as resilient as the old solvent based.

= I hate motorways that are not cleaned properly after they perform maintenance.
