I am so sorry it took me this long to get back to you.Thankfully we weathered the storm high and dry. I think we were one of the lucky ones that did not get flooded. The original color was light platinum. She was bought by Mary Kay. They took her to the facility that does all of her fleet cars and had a light pink powder coat put directly on top of the platinum. The color they created was incredible! In direct sunlight she looks pearl white, with reflects of golden yellow, sometimes almost neon green, and hyper pink. On an overcast day she looks almost baby pink with no reflective colors. It's the strangest, most fascinating thing I have ever seen. I wish I could take pics that could do the color justice. I may attempt it with a video camera to capture the color spectrum. If I do, I will definitely be posting it here somewhere. I've had friends ask me if I own 2 of these gorgeous cars because if that color variation...lol Have a beautiful day, Sandy!

Hi Kat. I have been on this forum for quite a while. bought my 09 in May 2011. Have not been as 'regular' of a visitor in the last year or so... had not seen your posts. Was intrigued about you recount of talking to an older lady about your pink car. Have not heard the story about it being pink etc. Actually looked at your album pics and it looks like a pearl white to me on my laptop so I am assuming the pearl has a strong pink flip to it? Anyway, I trust you are enjoying your XLR in Houston and I hope it avoided the flooding waters in the hurricane. I have friends that live in Houston part time (aka: during work/week and in Hemphill Tx the rest of the time) and I know they were fine in the floods. BTW: I am Canadian, have a winter home in Port Charlotte, Florida. Had my X down here last winter and I am missing it this winter so I intend to drive it down again next winter and back again in the spring. Message me back when you have a chance.
