I looked at the 2003 GS catalog, didn't have Alpine silver. I think they have changed it to Millenium Silver metallic.

Talking

I had a silver before the Black GS430 I got this year. Like the Black much better, also get a lot of positive comments on it. Much more than the silver.
Best Regards,
Bob

Yes, 2000 & up was changed to Millenium Silver. Alpine Silver looks more like a "true" silver. Millenium Silver has just a hint of gold in it.

Nope - Blue Onyx is the very dark blue and Blue Marlin is the lighter blue - both are different than the Spectra blue which is not offered on the GS anymore.

AND NEITHER IS AVAILABLE IN THE MIDWEST ON A GS430 WITHOUT A SPECIAL ORDER!

not that I am bitter or anything

Sure, black (or any very dark color) shows dirt and water spots more, but when it's clean, like WOW! I have had 5 black cars and one blue onyx in the past 15 years, and every time I buy one, I go through this process of which color looks best on this car, and eventually wind up with black. Which is what my GS430 is.
