I still can't believe they're using that as the launch color.

Can’t tell much but that photo doesn’t inspire confidence that the rear bumper won’t be that squared off abomination seen in the spy photos.

Looks to me that the spy photos were accurate.

Wow, all of those leaked pics were really washed out. This is the bluest I've seen ZB look. Suffice it to say this would not be the color I'd choose if I were getting a G87, which I am not.

///M should've launched this car in Red

Looks like vinyl covering the front fender where it meets the door

I think that's just the reflection of the cover. There's no way they're showing a car with a wrap job like that

In the light it looks ever more like Hyundai performance blue lol. That color works on the VN but I haven't been a fan on the m2 :

Yeah, I noticed the door was a jar so it's probably just a shadow like you're saying

That color was popular in the 70s and 80s. What goes around comes around. Personally I wouldn't pick that color for a performance car, it's not bold enough.
