I popped to Simpsons Skoda in Preston yesterday as I was passing. 

 

They had a newly delivered Dragon Green Sportline Hatch outside. Not sure if it was a customer car or not.

 

For anyone that is wondering, It's a very stunning colour in the fresh.

 

We decided to be safe and order our Sportline in Red. We are regretting not ordering ours in Dragon Green now 

Nice, but an £820 option. There to catch the attention of others.

The Red is a nice easy touch up colour. 

Think the Dragon is a good colour if you lease it, not sure i would buy in that colour though...

 

The Red is nice, however i have found it marks really easy

Both are lease cars. I wouldn't pay £820 either.

Thats another good point.

Yeah, I would worry about the residual value of the green. In my experience, the more of an 'acquired taste' the colour is, the lower its value at trade in!

Which is exactly why we get the rubbish choice of colours that we do in the UK, if I want to choose Tangerine and accept the possible consequences why shouldn't I be able to have it as I'm a private buyer and I'm paying for the thing, but no the UK market is driven by fleet sales that like 50 shades of Grey!

I was surprised that Rosso Brunello was dropped last year as it is still a 'safe' colour but then it isn't grey, black or silver!
