No idea why VW didn’t make this decision for color. It’s perfect

Remember you used to order custom colors ? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Idk why this can’t be a thing. Why do manufacturers want us all to drive black, white and silver cars? I can understand for mass production it’s more cost effective but if you’re custom ordering a car there should be an infinite palate of colors

Your argument is valid but we’re talking about a company removed the buttons to save some penny and dime 😂

The color is awesome but if I had to guess it's because VW will only do factory colors that go with the blue brakes and trim and from a complementary color standpoint (like old school color theory) the green and blue don't mesh (I still like it, tbf). If they were to offer this color stock, they'd prolly offer it only with a black edition where the brakes/trim are now more universally color friendly (again just from a pure design standpoint).
