On Saturday the dealership told us they located at another dealership a 300h in eminent white pearl with the black and red interior with the Executive package. Put $2000 down. Got a call tonight from the salesperson telling us that one sold at the other dealership before they could firm it up. No other vehicles in that combination in Canada. Salesperson also says no caviar colour with the same package and colour available anywhere either. Says we could order one but that may take 4 months to come in. We were told that perhaps a NEBULA GREY PEARL may be available. Will find out tomorrow.

That is unfortunate. We have the Pearl White now in our RX and really like the color (or is that lack of color ). We also previously had an RX in Nebula Gray Pearl (NGP) and that is a really great color too. Frankly, with the large black fender trim/flare on the NX I think the NGP would be a great contrast. Good luck locating your color preference.

i like your “ lack of color “ comment. If cars are like people and all non-white people are people of color, then white people must be called “ people with no color “

Good point on the wheel trim blending in a bit.

My last vehicle took almost 7 months to arrive (July - January.) Getting the exact vehicle that I wanted was more important to me than having to wait. I plan to keep this vehicle 12-15 years so I wanted it configured exactly like I wanted it.

My DD at the time was 12 years old and had 180K miles but still ran fine so I was not in a rush.

I told the salesperson I was in no rush and will just order a 2022 when available as my Escape runs good with no issues.
I contacted the salesperson today. They found the vehicle optioned as we wanted with the red interior. After talking to a few people and looking at the nebula grey we will be happy. Told me it should be here about mid June or earlier....going to be a long 3 weeks!
