Silver and the MGM colors are fine, but they are everywhere on all types of vehicles. I have a 21 Lunar Rock Pro and still really love the color. I’m only getting 3 options: moonroof, sliding rear cargo deck, and all weather cargo cover. Anyway, the young woman got 2 key fobs with her ORP yesterday also, as a data point. My wife is laughing at me changing my mind. But the Lunar Rock really looked good especially with the contrast to the silver front and rear bumpers. I really like the Metallic Silver and it is classic. The delivery date is April 7 instead of next Friday (2 additional weeks). This ORP has the sliding rear cargo deck already ordered, which I wanted. He agreed to delete the Predator Step ($899) I don’t want and the $699 Toyoguard Platinum. He had another Lunar Rock which became pre sold after last night. My dealer happened to have a Lunar Rock on the way not yet pre-sold. For some reason I felt like I wanted Lunar Rock now. I made the mistake of dropping by dealer yesterday while a young woman (probably 22-25) was taking delivery of her Lunar Rock ORP, with her dad.
