Actually same goes for the Tahoes and Yukons. Beautiful in bright red, but they only made them for the 2000-2002 model years. You can still buy them, but it's a special order fleet color, and most Chevy dealers don't even know that you can get them in that color. It took a phone call from a dealer in Dallas, TX to my local Chevy dealer for them to walk them through the process of choosing that color in the GM Dealerworld ordering system.
Maybe there are only a couple of us that still like bright red cars? I dunno. |
You're definately not the only nut out there, I'm sure there are plenty more on this board
Imola Red is an amazing color, especially for the X5. It stands out in a crowd and shows the lines of the X5 really well. I want a different color than the rest, there are way too many silver, black, and white BMW's...Imola Red is extremely rare and different (not to mention beautiful), that's why I love it. I guess you can say I have a serious love for Imola Red, as I have an Imola Red M3 as well and I'm looking to special order the E92 M3 in Imola Red
Again, Congrats on the car and welcome!
