Default DBM no longer available

After having the LWB's not available, SA just called to say dark blue Mettalic is no longer a choice.

Time to pick another color I guess.

I had the same problems : first no Sapphire Blue and then no LWBs. I eventually got both. I guess I can consider myself very lucky.

Wow, my DBM with LWB arrived at the dealership a few days ago. Guess I'll have a pretty rare bird. Crazy all of these shortages. I would have switched to Sapphire if necessary, but it was too bright to be a primary color for me considering how visually "loud" the GT4 already is and that I'll be driving it a lot. If Sapphire hadn't come back from its initial shortage, I guess I'd have gone for CWM despite the fact that it's such a common color and I can't see myself owning a white car even though I did see some stunning and nearly tempting CWM photos in a thread.

^ Don't worry. If they don't see you coming with DBM, they will hear you coming. . GT car not a Carrera.

According to the GT4 Registry CWM is 5.7% how is that common when DWB is 4%?

I meant white in general is such a common color on the road, sorry.

I think most people group CWM with standard white. As has been discussed in numerous RL threads, you have to get rather close to the car to see the difference. DBM, on the other hand, does not look remotely similar to any other color on the palette (unless you are looking at it at night when it looks black).
