Default My Atomic Blast is here!

Finally I got my car after 7 weeks of wait. I originally wanted a Grey on Red , but changed my mind after seeing Atomic Silver in person. I like having one of the rarer color combos lol.

Yeah, although I am very pleased with my color choice, I would have chosen Atomic/Rioja if were offered here.

Love the atomic silver! It looks chrome in the shade.

Definitely a fantastic color choice! I might've gotten that instead of Nebula Gray if it were available...

What color is NOT nice on the 3IS, honestly? There's truly no bad color, all are superb and one just needs to make a choice.

You took the pics just before the major snow dump today. Take comfort in the fact you can enjoy your 3IS (AWD) in 6 inches of snow with minimal fuss. Congrats and enjoy the exclusivity!

I agree. Something about this specific silver makes it look sleek. Almost like liquid silver.

I have exactly that combo and am really pleased with it. You will notice how it takes on different shades in different lighting conditions, congrats on your purchase!

Thank you!

It is so true. There is no bad color for 3IS.

I did go out and tried some hard turns in snow later yesterday. The AWD and VDIM works perfectly to keep the car in the line. As soon as I sense the tail is going to spin out, it starts to settle down as if someone just dropped an anchor; and then the car just hunkers down and go. The more I drove the car, the more I started to trust it. I came across a Merc C63 coupe when I was doing that, and that poor guy was sliding all over the place...
