When I was a member of COG (the Concours Owners Group) there was a saying regarding the color of the 86s: ITS SILVERDAMIT. Which was to say: "it's silver, dammit", because the 86 Concours was silver... or gray. I thought it was an ugly color too, but you can't seem to please everybody all of the time.
