Royal My new Royal Blue

C Vickgo · 22nd May 2007, 16:01

Hi all. Picked up new stealth fighter in Royal Blue yesterday and can't believe how good it is! Exceeded all my expectations.

No idea what all the buttons do, just enjoying driving at the moment. I find myself going on unecessary errands for some reason.

Here are some pics.

Royal Blue is the new Black in my opinion

ahh.. I can remember when mine looked that clean!

czechplastik · 22nd May 2007, 16:33

Its a 'stately' colour, mature, sophisticated.

I like it

Didn't even know Royal Blue was a color choice. Looks very very nice.

JoeyF · 22nd May 2007, 17:45

Nice colour, saw that colour in the brochure, but the brochure does not do it justice, great looking colour.

mattfog · 22nd May 2007, 17:46

nice ...

Ren Hoek · 22nd May 2007, 19:16

Good looking little car, like the colour

-SnK- · 22nd May 2007, 19:58

Excuse me,

I come from belgium, i speak a little English...

This color is Royal Blue Pearl (http://www.fr.honda.be/content/voitu...mv=961&color=1) or not, because I want to buy my Civic in Royal Blue Pearl but i don't have pictures in Belgium...

Excuse for my English.

Tank you.

That looks like the one, I also got Royal Blue Pearl and my older brother has just ditched his Toyota for a EX in black so that's two Civics one 56 and one 07 on the drive. They also told him the wait was only 7 days!!! Mine took almost 2 months last year!!

Nice one.

I've recently changed my order from NHB to Royal Blue for my TypeS, after seeing one in a car park.

madasadad · 22nd May 2007, 22:17

Yep, I like the Royal Blue also, brochure makes it look "mature", but very nice in the flesh. Only seen 2 in NI.

Hi, Yes it looks like the same colour. I ordered Royal Blue Pearlescent so unless Honda change the colour for different countries, this must be the same.

Enjoy

Same here. I wouldn't have picked it from the brochure and originally ordered Galaxy Grey. However I saw one in the flesh and changed my mind.

Just need to get a beige car coat and driving gloves and I'm away!

LOL. You must be an old git too then!

civie · 23rd May 2007, 00:04

Very nice colour, although i have to admit, i have only seen 1 other `in the flesh, pictures do the colour justice............Nice 1

THX1138 · 23rd May 2007, 09:46

Ok, I figured it out (I think)

The Type-S comes in this color everywhere. But in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium it doesn't come on the 5-door. Very strange indeed. Either that or the websites are updated yet.
Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium (and Austria too I think) constitute Honda Central Europe (or something), so they share the specs.

Seems to me that maintaining differences in model-range and specs is more expensive then maintaining an equality across the whole range. Haven't got a clue what the motivation behind these differences is, from Honda's perspective. Just like the Xenon headlights on the TypeR on mainland europe and not on the UK model.

sprkeh · 23rd May 2007, 12:52

Royal blue looks really nice, very classy

Obo · 23rd May 2007, 14:18

Lovely colour

I'm yet to see one for real and I hope when I do I wont prefer it to mine LOL
