When I picked up my RR Sport there was a man getting his at the same time. He ordered a tri-tone interior...tan/espresso/ivory...it was absolutely hideous. I can't find any pics online outside of the configurator (for good reason):

if all we have to criticize about the g90 is exterior color options i'd say the car will be a big success.

That is horrendous, and by some chance do you know off hand what the cost is for this optional interior?

Second, don't forget that the Hyundai Equus and Kia K900 tried a similar marketing scheme on the paint colors....and went nowhere. It's time for Hyundai to learn from its (current) mistakes...as they clearly did 10-15 years ago, when they stopped building junk and started turning out respectable vehicles.

The LS is offered in white, 3 shades of gray/silver, black, beige and red. So was it the red that helped the LS "clobber" the Equus?

Time, of course, will tell. But, I'd add two things. First, I'd add the E-shifter to the b**ch list (I told you guys in the review I probably wasn't going to change my mind on that). Second, don't forget that the Hyundai Equus and Kia K900 tried a similar marketing scheme on the paint colors....and went nowhere. It's time for Hyundai to learn from its (current) mistakes...as they clearly did 10-15 years ago, when they stopped building junk and started turning out respectable vehicles.
As we have already demonstrated here the vast majority of all full size luxury sedans are sold in silver, white, grey or black. How can Hyundai limiting the colors to basically the vastly most popular colors be to blame for poor sales?
Large luxury car buyers don't want bright colors. They don't buy bright colors on models where they are in fact available. Just google it, these ratios are out there.
You are completely out in left field here. Like, past the outfield in the parking lot.

Here....I will do the work for you:
Check it out from KBB:
http://www.kbb.com/car-advice/articl...-color-to-buy/
This is for luxury cars. You can see the article has color %'s for other types of cars too, you'll see different colors selling in different segments. Like I said...people buy bright red and lime green bathing suits...but not business suits.
To make it even easier....Silver, grey, white, and black make up nearly 70% of colors. "Med red" and "med blue" are deep colors too, not bright colors. Remember, Genesis has a nice patagonia blue which is actually an unusual color. So that means that Genesis has nearly 88% of luxury car buyers covered with the colors they have available on the G90...so how can you say colors are going to have a big impact on sales? It makes no sense.

Mike, this is absurd. The low sales figures for the Equus and the K900 have nothing to do with lack of paint colors.

OK.....no sense in arguing back and forth all night. You have your view, and I have mine. Time will tell what happens. Besides, with the election results coming tonight, there are LOTS more important things to watch, right now, than Hyundai/Genesis colors.
See you guys later.![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
