    Oh! Thank you. I thought maybe it was a transparent color so that when you squinted just right the car looked like, sounded like, and went as fast as a Testarosa...........while getting 70 mpg! :)

    .. nor when I bought my Advanced with Tech Package PiP last year. White, Blizzard Pearl, and I think the blue were the only colors, at least with the Tech package.

    Good catch. The PiP was only available in Magnetic Grey, Blizzard Pearl, Classic Silver, Sea Glass Pearl and Clearwater Blue Metallic. In Canada, Alpine White was also available.

    I have seen a red one... in Japan :). They also have a purple one. Now why do they get all the fun colors and we don't??

    Huh, come to think of it, they do share the same name! That may explain why TMS uses "Super White" in the US.
