No, the only metallic colors in the Monaro range are Quicksilver and now Fusion. The others are a mica color which contain some metallic elements if looked at close up, but are a chromatic mix so they 'pop' in sunlight; almost pearlescent.

Holden needs some more metallic colors methinks. I like that metallic orange I've seen on the XR6s, very nice.

I was surprised to see Turismo metallic like when I looked at it up close (as you explained why). One thing is for sure though it's a cool colour. ;)

I saw a VZ SS on kwinana freeway (Perth) about 4 weeks ago that was a metallic orange as described above. I thought it looked superb but forgot about it until i read this thread. It had IGNITION on the number plates. Does anyone know this car? I wondered if it was a test/prototype colour for VZ series 2.

there are only a couple of vz ss running around with ignition colour, very similar to fusion, looks really good on the vz ss sedan.

series2 isnt going to happen, but there has been talk of bumping sv8/ss power to 260 in some type of spec edition to tide over to VE.

I saw a dealer advertising one of these "ignition" coloured SS Commodores recently. I just tried to find the add to no avail but from memory it was some sort of factory special colour. looks great.

From memory, isn't "Ignition" the name they gave to the Pontiac GTO version of Fusion?

Sounds like a brainstorming event for the new Transformers movie if you ask me.

My next car will have either Soundwave or Starscream color. :lol:

Im surprised Holden havent brought out a color which is similar to the Falcons Mandarin, Mandarins looks similar to Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic on the C6.
