What is the official name for silver on the VX? I seem to recall seeing/hearing Astral in front of silver... is that correct? Just curious... :bgwb:

Coach... I mean Randy (I often forget who I really am) ;)

but why really complicate things when you can just call it silver and everyone will know what you're talking about?

The world is full of people that complicate things to make others feel inferior < check that spelling > by putting complicated names on common things . Sliver may be th color but they smile at me wondering how to say kaiser. Mine had "gr" on the registration sheet and the cop argued that " it isn't green" I said I know it silver ....OR gr ey . Had that changed this year now its "sil" for silver. If they would have put "kai" on the slip I wold still be having the conversation with the cop right now.

Two shades of silver.
How do you distinguish them?

I had an Astral ('99 - lighter shade), but I really like the Kaiser (darker shade).

The only stupid question Randy is the one NOT asked...

"Astral Silver" was only available in 1999 (a lighter tone) of which 1,021 cars were made.The only interior color available was the Black/Red leather.
"Kaiser Silver" became available on the 2000-2001 models (darker shade). Only 544 cars had this color. The Kaiser had two interior options available;Black/Red and Gray/Light Gray.

I didn't expect to get quite so many replies to this question... but hey, I know now... I guess its Kaiser then... I REALLLY like the color combo on this one... it looks sooooooo freakin nice and with the black and gray interior, its sharp but not too flashy... love it... soooooo... 2001 Vehicross #946 is Kaiser Silver... and mine all mine!

Later!
