Pearl or Metallic?

[HotRodSaint]

Blanc Neige Perlee = JDM (I guess?)

Blanc Neige Perlee = FCDM (French Canadian Domestic Market)

That translates into "True Metallic Silver" so, this is the same as... OK OK, I give up, no more guesswork

It was so much easier back when Henry Ford was making all the Model A's in black. (spin)

...somewhere back there in Japan, Mazda did just hire some clueless Japanese high school interns to translate these very same color names from Japanese to each foreign market language using a $2 dictionary

Brilliant! (thumb)


And thanks for the update HotRod... I don't know French, but do know "Blanc" seems to fit

Okay, so i just came back from the dealer with my new 5.
and guess what color it is....

yeah, you're right!! it's WHITE!!! (2thumbs) i will leave it up to your imagination on which white it is.

they ended up selling me a metallic white car, so i didn't pay special pearl color charge.(nana) (so i saved $95(cool) )
so i got $XXX.XX off sticker and few free things. including CX7 roof antenna.
very happy so far... but i only drove from the dealer to home which took me 5 mins.(drive)
i have so much to do today, so i cant drive it today. but hopefully i'll have some time tomorrow to drive and take few pics too.

In canada eh it is called Pearl White Mettalic and secondly it has a paint charge of 200 bux.

I have noticed the pearl white paint and the white on the bumper cover does not match (looks yellow like or ivory cream etc) as it is very hard to get the depth in the white on any plastic pieces...JMO

i finally had time to take few shots.
it was end of the day, sun was going down.
not that it's gonna make difference with my photo skill, but it might have came out better if it was in day light.
the car is going to get windows tinted on Thursday, back to dealer on Monday for detail in and out.

Awesome ride! (2thumbs). Other good thing about the color is that it makes it less warm inside during sunny days plus it should make it "look" cleaner during Winter (I've been told that in Canada you guys get "some" snow from time to time, eh? ).

thanks, yeah i like white. most of my cars i've owned are black. so this 5 should be little nicer to be in this summer.
and not much snow where i am at all. maybe 2 or 3 days a year if we are lucky...

You are right about paint not very pearl on plastic parts.

Pearl colors are much better on Lexus vehicles. But I won't complain about it in a $18K car.

I'm beginning to like the white more, but would order third party leather (or cloth) seats in beige with matching door panel trim. With white it would be really cool.
