Here's another thing from Subaru that makes no sense to me. Subaru offers the color Platinum Grey metallic in Europe but not in the USA. It strikes me that this color might well be much more popular than the current "Magnetite Gray" metallic which is about as close to "black" as you can get without actually being black.

If anyone has a handle on why we can't have Platinum Grey in the USA I would love to know the reason.

Check the attached photo of Platinum Grey and let us know what you think!

I really wish we could get that color!

Wow! Subaru missed the boat here big time. I'd have sought out that color specifically if it were available.

Subaru available color choices (interior and exterior) have always been very limited and conservative on the Outback. More color choices means higher costs, but the costs can't be that significant.

For example, look at what's available on the top of the line Touring trim, a ~$40000 car: one interior color and 4 exterior colors. The blue and green exterior shades are not even a good combination with the brown interior.

However, in spite of this, they keep selling more and more every month!

First thing we noticed. Color choices suck. The funneled combinations are worse.

They had a nice blue a couple years ago. Last year's grey was just no. The new magnetite grey is a nice color.

I've got the dark blue, works well for me for the combination, but I agree, it'd be better to have more color choices.

That dark blue and brown is actually the best combo on the touring, followed slightly by black. The green and brown combo is just odd.

I actually liked last years carbide gray better than the current magnetite gray.

Own the carbide - prefer the magnetite
