There's been tons of speculation in numerous threads about the new 06 Grenat/Oxblood color. The bottom line is that few of us have seen it yet IRL.
But it should only be a matter of days now, we hope!
The bags are trickling in to BalNY, and soon pics will be popping up here to see. So far, a few gals have seen Oxblood, but their reports seem to vary about what it really looks like--and we all see colors differently and have different tastes anyway!
I owned an 05 Bordeaux City that I ended up selling because of a small defect in the leather. (The color was a bit plum-y or even pink-y for me, especially in the sun.) So now I've preordered an 06 Oxblood City, and I'm optimistic about the color.
