In the options/price list it also now states just "Metallic Paint" rather than "Metallic/Pearlescent Paint" as per the MY10 brochure, so I don't think it's a misprint.
They've also removed the Inscription White Pearl paint altogether which is a pain - I was considering that for my XC90 Executive. 
So will the metallics look sufficiently similar to the equivalent pearls? Will anyone who's ordered a pearl finish, actually get a metallic finish instead?
Can anyone shed any light on this? |
Sadly Inscription White has been discontinued, but has been replaced with Flamenco Red Pearlescent, which I have chosen, other than that Inscription Silver is still available.
