I did manage to locate a few lists out on the internet, but there were plenty of inconsistencies (e.g. were there really TWO Flint Mica colors available in 2007?).

If dealers had the inventory, sure, I'd go look in person but that is not the case.

Do any of you have a good source of 1) List of the colors avail in 2007 for that car, and 2) good photos?

I am leaning toward a darker shade or the Matador Red...personal preference I know.

Thanks.

I used to have a sliver 2007 450h, and now I have the Matador Red. I never thought I would like a red car, but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the GS in Matador Red. It looks very sophisticated and (with tinted windows) quite sinister.

 

Thank again, Modeler. Yeah, I cannot find a matador Red in this market (or a 450h for that matter) and it is of interest to me for sure.

The "gray-ish" shades are an option for me too...and the lists of available colors vary with these "Mica" colors. I know I don't want white or silver...and trying to avoid black only because there are so many black cars out there (yeah, and it's a pain to keep clean).

Thanks again.

 

I fear that the gray colors have now become even more common than the black. Every single manufacturer has been cranking them out for the last decade since BMW popularized them. I would probably still choose a gray color over silver or black, if given a choice, but it is only by a small margin now. Five years ago that margin was huge...

Manufacturers need to come out with some new cool colors.

 

So true, there are a lot more variations on gray out there. My last car, an '06 Audi A6 4.2 Sport, had a color called "Oyster Pearl Gray" (or something like that) and it was a very cool shade. Really changed from almost a dark blue-gray to steel-gray, and shades thereof.
