Introduction
Here it is, my Panda Easy TwinAir!!
Yea, looking at the colours available for the 2012 Panda (I was buying 2nd hand) it was either this Purple (which is metallic flake rather than metallic or pastel) I believe, the only one with flake available in 2012, or the Turquoise pastel that I wanted. Neither easy colours to get second hand, everyone must have kept them.
If manufacturers want to make their cars stand out more, they need to stop charging huge fees for the colours. Almost all Pandas are white, and many of the 500s. This is due to the fact white is the basic colour. Any other colour and you'll find it's likely the most expensive option available for the car, new. Can't be necessary, and I think it makes competing with other makes harder not easier.
Could Fiat ever be the company to realise this, with their style focus? Probably not, but worth a dream.
I think the UK colour is Infatuation purple! Damned silly name! I do love the colour though.
Silly name indeed.
The original italian name is "Viola profumato", nothing to do with infatuation
Here's mine, 2013, bought second hand this year.
The colour really suits the little beast.
In my part of the world they call it : Fiat 184/B Melanzana Metallic
