Final word on 2005 Canadian colors

In the following thread, I reported on the TSX colors for Canada in the 2005 model year:

http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12728

I then said there would be six colors for 2005, but could not remember one of the colors. I checked again at the Acura dealer and in fact there will be only 5 colors: Black, White, Silver, Carbon Gray, Artic Blue.

Do you think that CG and AB will be more popular than Red and Indigo Blue, the colors that are deleted for 2005?

I think it's a shame that they did away with Milano Red - it's one of my favorite colors. It probably was not as popular as expected because it only came with the parchment interior. If it had an option of the ebony interior, it probably would have been a huge success.

I also liked the Indigo Blule too...

Domn, I share your pain! My NHB is absolutely beautiful right after I wash it - then it gets dusty quickly and almost everything shows! I saw both an SSM and an MSM TSX today - they both looked sparkling clean from a distance, but when I got closer, it was just as dirty as my NHB baby! Maybe I should have gotten an MSM one instead... LOL

Now, that's one color (MSM) that should have been more popular! Hopefully it won't be deleted for the 2005 model.

Interesting comment...Would you have independent info about this? Would Artic Blue be an out-of-trend color? I remember when I shopped for a '96 Accord: There were 3 different tones of green available. Green was the "in" color. Now, green has almost vanished from new car colors.

Silver and Grey, like Black, White, Dark Blue and Red, seem to always remain popular

Yup! Green is sure out! no1 want green car ne more. But I think dark blue are still one of the core color like white, black, silver & red.
