I was checking out the UK website when I saw this:





Is this the same as Suzuka Blue in the United States? To me it doesn't look the same. The UK also gets Monte Carlo Blue .

Any UK owners out there? Do you think it is the same color as Suzuka Blue?

Yes, it's the same as Suzuka Blue. Not sure about the UK specs, but over here the color is only available with the blue top and a choice of blue or black interior.

I've heard that it's the same as the Suzuka Blue but that picture does the car no justice at all!

It's definitely Suzuka... I think in other countries they'll name that blue with other world famous race tracks. Can't call it Laguna since BMW's M3 took it...

It's the same colour. Don't pay much attention to the picture - the brochure picture of my Monte Carlo Blue makes it look like a flat, dull blue. The real colour is nothing like that.

We also get "Indy Yellow" which is just the UK name for Spa Yellow.

Yep - the picture looks nothing like that actual colour (which is the same). The real colour looks much better - strange that they would use a less impressive version of it to sell the car.
Anyone know what the name changes are all about ? Spa/Indy yellow Nur/Sukuka blue ? I know its race track-related. I just wonder why.
