Gold Coast Silver is still my favorite color. Depending on the light and angle you're looking at the color it can be beige or silver or combination of both or some kind of champagne. Awesome color...

Whoever originally mixed this color is a genius. If it was a regular champagne color I don't think It'd be interested in it at all.

You know what is strange about the photos posted, if you look at the wheels it's obviously a Prestige Package model but when you look at the interior it's not a Prestige Package interior. It doesn't have the Diamond Quilt design which is what comes with the Prestige Package.

I noticed this as well. It also doesn’t have the two tone steering wheel or the digital dash. The one on the left is analog. It seems like an advance with prestige wheels.

The 2.5T Prestige doesn't have the quilted Nappa Leather Seating Surfaces, only the 3.5T does. I, too, once asked "why does that GV80 have 22" rims and an Advanced interior?" That's why. :LOL:

Wow, I didn't realize the Prestige Package differed from the 2.5TT to the 3.5TT. Still learning something new everyday about the GV80!
Thanks for the explanation...

Please see below, "nixit" explained why. Apparently the Prestige Package with the 2.5TT has a downgraded interior versus the Prestige Package with the 3.5TT.
I had no idea.

You don't. It's a feature in the 2.5 Advance package that is removed for the 2.5 Prestige.

Thanks, I kind of wonder why they're putting it on a lower level model and not the Prestige Package?

The Rear Self Leveling Function sounds like a different feature than the Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview.
The Rear Self Leveling Function sounds like the suspension will raise itself if you're adding weight to the storage compartment or towing substantial weight.
Road Preview is looking for road irregularities to soften the suspension to soften bumps.

I believe it’s because the 2.5 advance is rear wheel drive, so it’s worded differently. But they seem to replace the rear self leveling with the Electronically controlled suspension so I have to assume that it’s a suspension thing for both and not cargo specific But ride specific. I could be wrong, but the all wheel drive models do not have it to my knowledge.

Good point, that model is rear wheel drive.
Yes, the Prestige Package model Active Front Suspension feature is for ride quality only.

I realized I never added a photo of my Gold Coast Silver 3.5 Prestige GV80. Although every photo I have the color looks different. For instance these two. Some days it's silver, some days it's taupe some days it's latte brown. Some days it's almost lavender.

I have to admit it's my favorite color (even though the car is designed so nice all colors look great on it)! I totally agree that the color seems to change based on the lighting angle. My wife calls it champagne color sometimes. What color interior on yours? 3.5TT option?

Forgot to mention I picked up the car on 12/28. It had already snowed a few weeks before that but it melted. By the time late January came around and up to now February 20th it's been snowing like **** so the GV80 has been hibernating! It hasn't seen a snowflake yet! Barely has any miles on it.
