Better in person - but still who wants a purple XLR? They will sell 5 of these. Mary Kay Cosemtics is probably psyched!

Hey, it could be black which does nothing for this car. That color looks more like lavender than purple. It looks a bit girly, if that's a word.

I think it actually looks better than the Passion Red. I wouldn't buy one in that color but a lot of women might.

By the way, Passion Red (a/k/a Victory Red) looks great on a Z06, but I just don't think it fits the image of a luxury roadster. It would have really been sharp if GM could have come up with a deep metallic candy apple red. Of the three reds that are out there now in the XLR (see my earlier post) I would rank Crimson Pearl as the best looking with Infrared a close second.

they sold 100 NM purple in record time and this has more "special" features.
..... I think it's a blow to those who bought the "limited edition" NM

I think everything is a blow to we people that laid out big bucks for a car that can't even hold it's value for less than a year.
Plus mine is leaking oil at 8,000 miles..........Damn:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead they sold 100 NM purple in record time and this has more "special" features.

Standby--don't feel bad. I bought one of the first C6 Vettes and then Chevy made 37,000 in first year and it plunged. I have an 05 Commemorative edition Viper--number 9 of 100 and it cost $92K and just saw one for sale at $68k. I did get in on the V fire sale and got one under $80k, but at 100 or 80 it is such a great car. But sorry to hear of oil leak. Damn
