You guys are a tough crowd! As I told you in July, I ordered a new 176 for delivery this month.  My salesman just notified me that I'd be getting their first shipment of the new 10th Anniversary "Flying Frog" models.  I found this pic, and others on Facebook, and I'm ecstatic!  I love the color (or lack thereof).  I like the return to the rings.  And it matches our grey tow vehicle.  The interior pics on FB also look nice.  Rumor has it that my new Pod will be shipped Friday with pick-up next week.

Ah...good point. I actually love gray as a backdrop...just not as a front drop. So I'm going to skip it  because I'd just have to buy a new truck to go with it. The truck would be blue and then I'd have to buy decals or hire a vehicle artist to put some color on the Pod. Luckily we already have two trucks, and a green Pod that we love. So I just "saved" a bunch of money Smile Betting we'll see these out on the roads soon enough though, and the people pulling them will be as happy with theirs as we are with ours. The various RPod models and color schemes certainly do provide something for everyone!

The anniversary edition also harkens back to the past with the “rings” motif. Retro

If anything to defend the colors, even though they are not my favorite, but 10 year anniversaries are tin/aluminum as far as gifts go for weddings.

I would wager that idea was brought up as the reasoning for this particular color sequence for these Anniversary models celebrating 10 years of R-Pods.

Yeah, I like my green pod better. Maybe it is just a prototype.

wow, maybe it's just me but if I were looking for a new Rpod i would definitely settle for a 2018 or 2017 model... that is simply not a good looking design

Their design team did a good job with the last few progression of designs, but I just don't understand this one! :-)
