Have you ever seen Athens Blue in person? The color on the cover of Automobile isn't even close to Athens Blue, which is even darker than Caribbean Blue (which I have on my G). Nissan photoshops pics all the time in their brochures and ads, and car mags do it too. They just wanted an eye catching color on their cover to sell mags- the car they test drove was such a boring color!

 

It is possible that the blue on the cover is the new Athens Blue. I am pretty sure they can tweak a color a little if they want, so they probably changed it up.

 

thanks for the scans!

even if the cover is photoshopped, it looks good.

 

I am in a mad debate over what color to get. After seeing the picture on the mag, Athens Blue has taken a sizable led.

 

It looks hot in any color, Athens Blue would be a good choice, it does look nice.

 

good, because at one time or another I have thought I would pick every color!

 

i saw the mag, love the title of the article
"hey bmw, check your mirrors"

 

Yeah, I know, I smiled when I read that too!!

 

That's almost Caribbean Blue in color, which is awesome. Too bad the production car will have the dulled down Athens Blue instead.
