I have Horizon Blue also, and I have had lots of compliments on the color. It does become a little bit more unique when they drop a color- they never will drop red, white, silver or gray it seems. The shades of blue are in constant change over the years.

Hey me too. I thought it was a popular color. I guess we will have something no one else can get. Cool ain't it.

Loved Horizon Blue when I first saw it. Now that I'm a MCS owner, you know what I got! I have yet to see another on the street. I like that.

There are a lot of HB MINIs out here. I was really upset when they discontinued Oxygen Blue, but hey, at least it makes it more exclusive now, eh? :D

Pity they're discontinuing Horizon Blue. It's a gorgeous color.

I have counted a grand total of 3 HZB JCW's on this site. Looks like it may stay that way now. Sorry to see the color go. Looks amazing in the morning and at dusk.

Finz, I have a '11 MCS hatch.

Found the car that got me on the HB bandwagon (from the '09 Chicago Auto Show):

They did drop silver for a bit and you could only get it in the White Silver Package. Dark Silver (i.e. Gray) was replaced with the much darker eclipse gray as well. I'm glad I go mine when I did since I really don't like the darker ecplise gray. But you're right, they always seem to have one gray option available. Blue/yellow seem to change the most.
