Not to bump an old Thread, but this is the only informational thing that pops up when you search the color on the V series and wanted to give a thanks. I just picked up a 6 speed manual 2009 V in Blue Diamond and LOVE IT. I knew it was a rare color, but not so rare as to only 76 being produced, that's awesome. I'd be interested to find out how many in Manual their were in the mix as well. Anyway, back to the color I feel it's making somewhat of a comeback. In different low lighting I see a Glossy Primer/Dull color close to that of Audi's Nardo gray and the Focus RS stealth gray finish both a glossy primer color that are very desirable colors now. Then in different types of sunlight you see great metallic color combinations that Cadillac is known for. Just my 2 cents, and I'm excited about this car.
