Quite the coincidence! Maybe we both like variety or change in our lives. Even my son, who likes colors like the old BMW inca orange, liked it immediately when he saw it.
I had an Inka Orange 1981 BMW 320i.. the first 3 series! I drove it in college over 20 years ago and people still sometimes talk about that car.
Anyway, Corey, what matters is that YOU like the color. Sometimes a person’s dislike reflects their own insecurity. Thunder Gray is a somewhat unusual color for a car in 2019 so people who feel most comfortable with conformity might be bothered by that. I work in downtown Chicago and, let me tell you, in this midwestern big city there is a very standard M-F uniform, especially for men. Good for you for buying what you liked! And it’s a Volvo! A bit of a quirky color is perfectly fitting for an XC40!
Finally, I can tell that’s a color that looks better in person. I bet 99% of people saying they dislike it have never seen it in person.
Enjoy your great looking car!
