10 Things to Consider When Buying nardo grey vs cement grey

What's with the "Cement" Paint-Color Craze?

For years, white, black, silver, and various shades of platinum/titanium-metallic (such as Lexus' Atomic silver) have literally dominated the vehicle paint-color palettes. But, recently (I'd say within the last year or two), a new shade seems to have become a craze.....the non-metallic "Cement" look, which is a dull-looking (but not matte) light grey, or sometimes light bluish-gray, like on the Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport, that imitates the look and color of drying cement/concrete. I admit is an interesting look, but I don't quite understand the fad it has become.......and the rush by automakers to adopt it in their color-palattes. I see more and more of these cement-color vehicles on the road each day, so apparently the public is voting with their wallets....and the automakers may simply be responding to demand for the color. It is being applied to virtually every type of vehicle today.....sedans, coupes, crossovers, trucks, and truck-based SUVs....so apparently it is not just one class of vehicle-buyer, but virtually all.

Discuss if you have an opinion.

Outside is probably the easiest way of seeing, the 17 inch aluminum wheels with the HP Primacy vs. the 18 inch black wheels with the Pilot Sport 4S. Along with the duck tail spoiler for the premium. However Premium also has adaptive headlights, not sure its easy to see this one visually.

Inside its a bit trickier. The sport aluminum pedals are only for premium, along with the alcantara and leather heated seats. Base car only has 6 speakers vs. the 8 JBL speakers of the premium model.

I suspect for myself I'd still pick premium, but you don't really lose going with a base car frankly. Heck I actually like the 17 inch wheels and the no spoiler look more.

There are pics of the base car out there as well. It looks for the most part similar to the premium model.Outside is probably the easiest way of seeing, the 17 inch aluminum wheels with the HP Primacy vs. the 18 inch black wheels with the Pilot Sport 4S.
