Lightbulb Flamenco Red is back....

Dear all,

Just to let you know...

A couple of months after we were forced by our dealer to pick another color, we today got the message that Flamenco Red is back again!

We've quickly changed our order again...

Cheers,

Rene

Sorry I meant , have you got a R-Design. but I guess you haven't as you know it's only a "Flat" red.
I tried to get flamenco red when I orded my R-Design, but was told only the flat red available for this model, so went with Saphire black.

Indeed we don't have the R-design. In my eyes Volvo keeps a weird policy of availability of colors on particular finishes (R-design, Ocean race etc).
After the Flamenco Red color was not available anymore (due to the earthquake in Japan), we could not order Ocean Race blue (second on our list) as we did not have a Ocean Race finish... Not even with an extra payment! We were left with the typical grayish colors. I can remember with BMW I had the "INDIVIDUAL" color list. Available on all models, however more expensive.....

rumour has it you can't get bi-xenon's with the flamenco red as there's no need for lights that bright. the new version of flamenco red gives off a bright green glow after nightfall.

perhaps it should be renamed depleted uranium red!
