Awe. We had TWO passats. A maroon 98 and then a silver '03. Loved them.In that light, really similar to my old 2001.5 Passat's green.![]()
Launch Green R2 photos from the Denver Launch Party and public sighting.
Who's planning to order your R2 in Launch Green? I think it's between this and Catalina Cove for me.

Yes, and maple pollen, too.If you live in the PNW (or anywhere with lots of evergreens), Launch Green is perfect...the tree pollen blends right in.
BTW: The retired army major who lived next door told me I really should put the white star on the hood...command car vibes.
Is that what Daisy was driving when Myrtle ran in front of the car?Someone beat me to it. I was going to say it was giving off military vibes. It's ok but definitely not in the running for me. I like the regular green more than this, if I was going to get a green R2.
If it's the same as the purple on the limited edition R1T and R1S (and them being the same name suggests so), then I've seen it in person just under a week ago and it's spectacular. Looks great on direct sunlight (sparkles in a nice, subtle way, but not too glossy) and in overcast/darker situations it's much more muted.... But you can still tell it's purple. It was turning heads at the Rivian club event I was at last weekend.Catalina Cove is going to be hugely popular. I think the LG (depending on what they charge) would be my pick. I have a FG R1S and the color is great, I would get that again. Black, White are two i would never get and the purple i don't know about.
Yeah for what i have seen it looks great. I like the uniqueness of it. I just wonder if over time, having a purple car will not age well. Not that the paint is lower quality or anything, just that our personal preferences change with the times.If it's the same as the purple on the limited edition R1T and R1S (and them being the same name suggests so), then I've seen it in person just under a week ago and it's spectacular.

Who cares about time's changing preference! You've got to live in the present.Yeah for what i have seen it looks great. I like the uniqueness of it.
