If this is not a mistake and they actually did remove Phytonic blue for the XB7 then I would wait for Alpina blue if I were you. What makes it questionable for me is many of the promotional photos of the XB7 are Phytonic blue.

I find it laughable how Mercedes implemented CarPlay on their MBUX displays. No support for wireless CarPlay and they only use about 2/3 of the width of their 12.3" screen when CarPlay is displayed.
Major thumbs down. |

Of course wireless CarPlay and Android Auto isn't a deal breaker for MB buyers or they wouldn't be selling them, but MB promised wireless CarPlay with MBUX and still hasn't delivered. And they cannot defend squeezing CarPlay into 2/3 of their available screen width. They go on and on about how advanced their tech is but they dropped the ball in this area and it does matter to some buyers. I think they don't want owners using CarPlay or Android Auto so they made them less convenient to use.

I think they focus on their demographic and a more refined smoother ride. Where BMW focuses on higher technology and a faster performance for information and automotive. |

Looks like they are starting to show up in a few more dealer showrooms.

Ivory leather and ALPINA Myrtle wood trim look very good together. |
