If somebody wants one today, likely it's going to be silver, white or black. All very ordinary and boring. Same reason so many cars have black Tex interiors.
And yet when I stop by my dealer (weekly for a cuppa) I see a sea of, guess what, silver, white and black cars that have been on hand for months in some cases. Of the hundreds of Hondas one sees daily, how many are NOT silver? That's why I waited months for my car because I wanted it the way I wanted it, and not what was out back. BTW, the Germany's racing color is not silver. RLE ************** Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.
