I saw one in Sytner Sheffield (U.K.), however it was indoors and in a dark part of the dealership.

My first reaction was it'd be like driving an aubergine

One of those colours best suited to sunny areas, so not the U.K. then!

I had to look up "aubergine" as I had never heard that term before. But now I've learned something new!

But now you've got me thinking I'm driving around an aubergine everytime I hop into mine.

If I was good at Photoshop, I'd stick some wheels on an eggplant
