Heaven Blue Metallic

[jbthompson]

Here are some pictures for a new color for 2009, Heaven Blue Metallic. Anyone else seen this yet??

Looks like the color they are using on some of the Honda Fits lately. Not for me, but not bad.

[Deserion]

It looks like a variation on silver. Would be nice if they went with an ice blue (anyone remember Nebio Blue from the Mk5 [B5] Passat?).

Very subtle.

[SMG]

Wow, nice colour!

[CoriBug]

My dealer has one(or they did last week). I saw it when I drove by and I thought it was silver. Nice.

[AceJay]

Oh wow, cool color. Hate those damn wheels though ugh.

Heavenly Blue, my Aunt Sally! That's a decidedly overcast sky!

Wish they'd let me design some colors. Giotto Blue, out of an Italian Renaissance painting. Chimayo Chile Red. Burnt orange. Dark metallic pewter grey with a vermilion stripe and vermilion upholstery. Saffron Yellow. Azurite Blue with flecks of Malachite and Turquoise.

I think so, I saw a dark grey metallic with a blueish tint about 2 weeks ago.... if that was what I saw then its an awesome color.

I saw one in person & wanted it. Then I saw a pic of the new CR-Z. I think I'll be waiting for that instead of the fit. How many miles per gallon do you get? Is it regular or premium?

Hi Amanda How's life treating you? Have you finished your sleeve?

hello Lovely!

i'm doing very well...
very busy with school, work, a marketing internship, and partying on the weekends in Hollywood... hahaha
and the half sleeve on the right arm is almost done. all the colour is laid out, i just need to go in for one more (painful) session for touch up.

the Fitzer is good as well.
it's going in the shop next tuesday to get the back end repainted (silly 18 year old ran into me), so it's gonna be like having a brand new car all over again... oh how i love the smell of automotive paint!

because my fit has an i-vtec engine, it only requires 87 octane.
and i average around 35 mpg, but have gotten up to 42 mpg... not too bad in my opinion!

oh, and i don't care much for Tidewater Blue...
i just had to set that record straight!
hahahaha

hope you're well dolly!

I agree. The Beetle colors are BORING! Though it's nice to see something new, it's so....blah. I should know, I own a SILVER one!

I can see how painful that is. Way too much coverage to do in one sitting and to talk yourself in to more hurt has to be hard Looks great so far though!!

[callisto9]

The way it shows on the website, the blue is much more vibrant. I would love this color a lot more if it were this bright blue in person.

[Deserion]

Anyone else notice that the 2009 models have redesigned window switches? No more "up-down" alignment, but "front-back" push-pull style. About damned time they redesigned the switches. Door panels feel a lot cheaper, though.

Part of me wants this Heaven Blue Metallic New Beetle, the other part knows I can't afford 20K. Poopies.

I really don't like the newer colors. Really don't like metallics, I really love primary colors, and other bright colors.
We need bright colors so people actually see us. I find all the metallic colors very insipid. Also wish they would bring back the color concepts (of which I have one) By the time I need another one, I will either have to get another older one, or save the rims and seats and customize the new one.
