Colour choice in Germany

[WOLF32]

I love this topic ...

I think VW is outdated. I love all the colors in some way and everyone has their preferences.

But why the hell VW need so many colors? 37 colors for the GTi this is absurd!

And more absurd is to pay 3000 euros for special tones.
When in reality the only colors that will sell massively worldwide are Carbon Steel Grey, Oryx White, Pure White, and Deep Black Pearl.

This applies to all brands of cars including premium.

As an example of this;

People who are buying Rolls Royce Ghost and Bentley Continental only choose in black, white, silver and gray. Are useless in Bentley 120 colors and Rolls 60 colors .

Suffice to have only 4 choices and even if the marks would sell cars; Metallic Black, White, Silver and Dark Grey.

You have to understand one very important thing, we are living in an era where only cars sold in neutral colors that are used in items such as mobile phones and iPads.

But the absurdity does not end there because VW has the largest color palette of the entire industry with over 300 colors among all brands.

And here in North America have always limited supply.

I know this information because I have followed the trends in the last 4 years.

I been seeing reports of the leading manufacturers of paint for the car as Axalta (formerly Dupont), PPG Industries, Sherwin Williams, BASF and Merck Automotive.

It is assumed that the trendy colors like orange and chocolate brown-would impose on top of sales not only in Germany but throughout the world. And have not yet achieved.

White has succeeded because it has always been present in some regions like here in America.

In Germany this fashion because white alla never had had before the impact. And some parts of Europe like England is not surprise.

Somehow the car companies spend more money if you have a big inventory of colors.

Just two months ago was the issue that people told VW should focus on reducing your palette.

In summary, the colors are very attractive but much is lost in time be looking for that special color.

Everything is handled by the dealer of the VW.

Suffice to provide only 10 options. No more.!!

But this is not the most serious but also offer a range over gray colors. 4 is an exaggeration. Enough just to have 2. Briefly VW has poor selection of his paintings range.

A true palette toll combine sporting elegance with Serious as a black, white, dark gray, one silver, metallic red, natural red, metallic blue, metallic orange, brown and finally (one exclusive Yellow for GTI and Golf R.)
