Say it Ain't So: PS dropped from MCS for 2010!

According to motoring file Pure Silver has been dropped from the MCS for 2010!

This is a tragedy!

Lol - I thought you meant power steering!

I feel your aesthetic pain.

They also dropped Mellow Yellow which is my favorite color.
This is the reason I bought my 2009 MCS in mellow yellow in late August 09 because i wouldn't be able to customized my 2010 (no mellow yellow and instead the ugly interchange yellow - IMHO so I don't offend anyone.

I am happy with what I have although I would have like to have Xenon headlights and rear fog lights

Can't complain because I love the factory aero kit on my mini.

While dropping Pure Silver may be a huge bummer for those who like it, it's certainly not a "tragedy." Terminal cancer, now that's a tragedy.

IMO, waaaay too many silver cars out there anyway.

How come they don't have Sterling Silver?

I guess they figure Pure Silver is just too practical for the S.

I actually like DS much more than PS-- DS is a dramatic color, while PS is much too generic, again, IMO >turbo heat/flame shield on<

If they add White Silver to the mix, I think a lot of people will be happy with that.
