Yeah, they are putting me in a production que 
. I'm my area there aren't many Gti's in general so there's that lol. But I'd rather blend in, I live in a small town and I feel they would pin me for everything lol

I drive the Midnight Blue MK7 and never see a GTI with the MNB. I was set on white, black or silver and didnt know about the MNB until I saw it online as a CPO. I have only seen 1 MNB MK7 in my area. Almost ended up getting a white MK7( glad i didnt). Everyone else got the common colors. Happy with being the very few MNB here in South FL

Yeah, it's a rare color. I like it when I see it, which as you said is pretty uncommon. I'm sure Great Falls is rare too, but perhaps for a reason (ducks.) Urano is my favorite Mk7 color, if only my silver one had been totaled a year later, I'd have been all over a Urano Rabbit.

that blue!
white and red are my next choices I would have picked red but whenever I see a white one I like the look . I got black my least fav color. best deal by far and it was the end of Sport availability which was speced out the way I wanted.

You mean night blue Metallic? Or is there another blue?
I have the mk7 sport in nbm and I've yet to see another one. I see silver and white, and black once.
I've also never once seen an R on the road where I live. I hate that the rarity is becoming a factor in my thinking about changing from the gti to the R. It's really kind of a stupid reason to be considering it.

I owned a NBM. I didn’t like it. I LOVED the Shadow Blue on my MK6 GTI, though.

Our Q5 is Midnight Blue. It looks black, or like a really dark grey. It takes noon sun on a cloudless day to see blue. It's not a color choice we'd make again. The dark blue GTI is a much better color.

Same basic thing, EA888 with an IS20, just the longitudinal version that makes a little more power. I think we'll likely replace it with the 55 version which is the plug in hybrid. Quicker than the SQ5, more efficient than the non hybrid. Although she wants an eTron, so that's probably what we'll get.

I am surprised by how good the engine is, and it regularly gets much better mileage than my car. We just find the car to be larger than what we really want (which doesn't explain her interest in the eTron.) An RS Q3 would be perfect, but of course we can't have it here.
