By increasing interior colors, you multiply production costs. 90% of everyone will choose beige or charcoal anyway, therefore you are in essence increasing production costs by 50% to appease 10% of the buyers. This doesn't make sense. If, on the other hand, we were selling 500,000 units a year, we could afford this added choice, but unfortunately we're selling only a fraction of that amount. As far as exterior colors, the Vector has a good deal of ground effects and plastic spoilers, these must be painted at a separate time and location than the rest of the vehicle. It's a huge expense to paint these, therefore, the more colors to paint, the more expense. If, indeed, 5 colors have been chosen, that is equivalent to 60% of our color palette. This is a good selection with all factors considered. The most popular colors were chosen, so I wouldn't call this limiting in any way.
Cheers,
Brian.
