I love the all black color scheme. If that option was available in he US, that is probably the color I would have chosen. But I got the red and love it :-)

The red is a looker too but so is the white. The grey was the other option I had but not that keen on it. A gun metal grey would be my ideal choice

I thought the grey was more of a gunmetal grey? It would have been my first choice, with black second.

The grey one that I've seen was the boring, invisible kind of grey. I'm not particularly fond of the black (although I like it better than the grey), but all we get here is the black, grey and white. No love for the striking red :(

At the showroom they had both black and grey. However the grey is more silver than grey and pretty light colour. Gun metal grey is a deeper grey. The silver grey pcx is actually pretty close to my car colour. Not a colour I dislike I just am not keen on it on the pcx. Everyone is different and good to have choices even if limited.

It stinks that the colors vary so much by region... Very strange that only a few colors are offered in each market but as a whole there are actually a lot of choices--you just have a hard time of accessing all of the colors.

I've seen people selling new plastics on ebay... I figured if I ever wanted to change the color, i could source black plastics for 3-400 bucks.. Might be cheaper than painting, and easier.

yep! and... if you can find someone... you could either do a straight trade, or try to sell them if you're going to keep the new look

The smart car owners club advertise panel swaps. They have clip on plastic panels so a colour change is reasonably easy. Why not a pcx panel swap?

That'd be awesome. I'd probably pay for shipping to get a set of grey panels. :D
