PS. Sorry for the crappy photo quality. It was on my iphone 4. =/ I didn't even think about turning my phone sideways. I was mesmerized by the car to really care about the quality of the shot. oh wells. please don't kill me for bad photos/video.

Thanks for the pics & vid, those couple of hours waiting til 8pm must have been rough. Car looks really good.

very happy with the color so far. thank you for sharing

So yeah, no car for me today either. So much for "imminent" delivery.

My dealer seemed so sure that they would be the first to have the cars delivered. I can't wait to rub it in there faces that they got beat by a dealership in Louisiana, while my car has been sitting just a few miles away at the port for over 16 days now.

So UNICRN, are you just waiting for tomorrow for the dealership to be open for business so you can take possession of the car? Congrats on being the first!

@UNICRN Wow!!! That looks gorgeous! It looks so awesome in pics and your video, and you say it doesn't do it justice. Cant wait to see it in person. Congrats!

Nice.. Congratulations on your car.. I don't see the difference in the paint, it looks... Argento to me.. Maybe it's the pictures and videos but I can't pick out anything that makes it different.. Maybe I'm a bit colorblind to it.. I'll check one out when we get it here in Vegas

Again.. Congrats to you and all the soon to be 10 series owners..

Longo of El Monte? Let me know if you successfully haggle them down on price. I wonder what Longo's invoice is compared to the rest of the country's.

It's actually quite subtle based on angle and lighting. From a cursory glance it can come off close to Argento. Under direct light and reflection you notice hues of green and gold. Shadows/indirect light help to induce a bluer tone. If you can stand to watch the ridiculously stupid extended 10 series commercial in HD, you'll see the paint quite well. Note the gold and green hues around the 40sec mark and how the color goes blue at dusk.

It's definitely not a 'hey look at me' color, more of a 'hmm...something about that color is different' sort of look.

supra2nv · 06-21-2013, 02:59 AM

that stupid commercial again lol. every time I think about the energy they likely put into that commercial, yet it came out so goofy. wish they put the energy into avoiding typos on the window sticker. wish they also spent energy on working overtime to get customers their cars, rather than drag it out disrespectfully while our cars sit at a port under God knows what conditions. My car landed at port on 6/4. this is silly now...the car is literally an hour drive away from me. sheesh...

edit...I hate that commercial lol
