Saw it at the LA Auto Show. Quite handsome in a Wall street Republican Banker kind of way!Elegant. But whenever anyone wants to turn what is essentially a toy fun car into somethings it's not, you are jumpin in the fire, Baby. Paint it pink. That might get you dome action In San FRan...

There is a Mary Kay rep in our neighborhood who has a grey Passion with a pink Tridion and pink interior & exterior trim. It actually looks pretty good! Pepto Bismol pink too.

I'm not sure if elegant and smart go together, but I did order the red interior, so at least that's fun, kinda. Not really the pink car type of woman, but thanks for the suggestion.

Saw it at the LA Auto Show as well. I was a bit disappointed in the color; it seemed to have some brown in it, like Porsche's Slate Grey. But it may look different out from under the intense auto show lighting.

That gray metallic

Just saw one at the dealer today. In the sun it's almost the same color as the ever popular metallic champagne that's slowly loosing popularity and is or was offered by almost all car manufacturers.
It did look rich and classy with the silver tridion and black convertible top.
Question is... does one want this combo on a smart?
I equate smarts with less conservative colors...but that is a personal choice and that's what makes the world go around. It did look sharp though...

I saw it.....and wouldn't call it "Gunmetal". To me, it has a brown 'tint' to it.

Personally, I don't care for it, but that's just me. I'm sure others will love it.
