There's sure alot of options on those cars, probably triple the number on my S4.

I'd be curious to see the blue with cinammon interior, sounds nice.

Yes. On the docs Rixter gave me, most have a long string of option codes like these two.

I think the horizon blue/cinnamon car would be a very classy look as does the metallic black/matador red...

Both of those sound very good to me!! Horizon blue is a bit light, assuming its the standard medium brown cinnamon...but I've seen "cinnamons" that are quite light

You're right, Horizon is the light blue, The Cinnamon Brown, would be real nice with one of the Darker Blues.

I've discovered the Horizon Blue/Cinnamon car is an error. Here is the actual car, I already have pictures on my site:

Horizon blue is a GREAT color! I remember when I was looking for my S4 ('96) there was a Horizon GTS with something like 6k miles on it! I think they wanted $62k for it...It was sure a beautiful car! Do you remember that one Chuck?!

There is a horizon blue/dark blue interior GTS for sale in TX. Has factory sports seats and shocks. Low miles and a "pudding spoon" gearbox.

Now the question is....how accurate is the Database. You found one error, perhaps there are more?

OT
Ryan: What sound does "pretty" make to you? I've noticed you hate all colors except yours. I would supply a cutnpaste of your comments, but it is too long and I'm too lazy.

Unless you really need the post count, we'll just assume you don't like any color(s) and combinations from now on. Yeah, I have one of your favorite hates, maroon; I happen to think it makes a nice interior; I know it probably only goes with black or champaign, which I'm sure you hate, but as regards colors, you are a one note song.

Not to be taken personally, but this rant is kinda an extension of the trashing that people do to other species, e.g., corvettes, etc here. I go to an impromtu car (nut) show at the beach Sundays in the summer. Cars and bikes of all stripes from old hearses to god pristine Ferrari; I would never mutter any dis of anything there unless it was strictly in private with a party that wanted my opinion on that. It's low class and bad taste. Just me I guess. BTW, this is a public forum, I like to think it has content beyond mere opinion. And it's like walking around that parking lot. Oh, BTW there is a difference btw fact and opinion. [end of rant resume normal programming]

I think I feel better. Happy New Year
