D5 200 Exec - What colour?
 
So, Saville Grey or Oyster Grey?

I saw a Saville R-Design in a dealership and it looked fantastic. However I've been told they look great in Oyster, but I've only seen photos...

Why don't Volvo have HD photos in similar lighting conditions for all cars on their website...?

Saville Grey is the dark one is it not, not an option on the Exec, hence i went for black.

TBH Ember Black is stunning ... wish it had been an option when I was ordering ... still very pleased with Electric Silver.:natur008:

Ours is Oyster. We ordered it having never seen the colour in the flesh, and trusted the build-your-own colour. It is really very close; the real thing is very slightly darker, with a definite brownish appearance. It is lovely colour, even more so as it is more exclusive - virtually all the others are dark grey, black or silver. It is even better with light seats (calcite).

Not according to the configurator on volvocars.com, if you select Saville Grey it deselects Executive spec.........?

Exec with Saville grey works fine on the Belgian Volvo configurator.
Must just be a UK restriction.

drpepper Dec 7th, 2010 23:27

Well that's just bloody typical!

I'd have gone black regardless on balance but it's madness that it's not available in the UK when they're all built/sprayed in the same place surely?
