Here's a strange event. When I got my newly acquired 97 V90, I noticed it was missing the rear passenger driver's side) assist handle. There were OEM plugs there in it's place, but wanting the car to be 'perfect' I ordered one. The interior color is a medium/light grey. The part that came was a dark grey. In fact all the floor trays, cargo tray and cargo cover are also dark grey. There is only one color code showing for grey, and it's dark. Volvo NA says that is not unusual for colors to be discontinued like that, even as soon as a year! Can you imagine spending 35K (or much more) on a car and not being able to get a replacement trim piece? I'd be furious!

Relevant to this is the replacement door panels I was going to order next spring to replace the puckered ones. Now I fear all I'd get are dark grey ones. This is absolutely astonishing!
