Hey, it has been awhile since i posted anything except of course dog pictures:rolleyes: but i have seen this Element around and LOVE LOVE LOVE the color. So finally i saw it parked and snapped some quick pics. i felt like a creeper so they are not very good---but i just love this color so much and think it suits the Element very nicely. It reminds me of coffee, this must be a custom paint job i am suspecting. do you guys like it??

Cargo Khaki

(at least that's the colour the American's have called it....
Those of us who actually know what colour Khaki really is disagree....:-))

Is it a custom color, or the khaki-colored Element??

Nice, either way.

Not custom but was only offered one year.......2005 I think
Rarest of the rare !!!!!!

Yes, CK was 2005 only. It's had to tell from the photos, though, whether it's Cargo Khaki or Shoreline Mist Metallic. Wolfhounder, see this chart (http://www.skidmore.edu/~pdwyer/e/colors.htm) and let us know.

Sure looks like a CK to me and Orangee was right that they were only made in 2005. . . but what would I know- I've only been coveting one for years! :rolleyes:

Sorry Orangee...but Eternal Blue Pearl is the rarest of the rare!
Only offered the first HALF of 03, then switched to Fiji....
All other colours have at least 1 full year....;-):-)

Yes, it's CK. I was on the fence about that color when I got my FBP and regret not taking the risk. I didn't get to see one in person until after I had my FBP:-(

If that color reminds you of coffee, I think they would call your coffee, Milk with a splash of coffee.

I'ze gots me one!

:D:D:D:D:D

:)Thats a very nice looking CK, I parked next one a few weeks ago that had been treated very poorly. I wanted to take it home and give it tender loving care:-(, but they call that grand theft auto around here:mad:

Wally- stop bragging!!!

Never knew that- was that in the US and Canada? It's ironic because this area has a ton of EBPs.

I found a match for mine on vacation in Savannah, GA. Parked two places away from me.

yikes---i almost would have said SMM---but neither of them looked exactly like how i remember--then i again i am the one calling it creamy coffee(ducking)
the reason i thought it was custom is because there was a label on the back that appeared to be painted over. regardless, it is close enough to CK and SMM which makes me wonder why they discontinued it... it is the best color i have seen so far IMO

The Cargo Khaki is flat, where the Shoreline Mist Metallic is ... Metallic. Some have said it looks a little too much like a primer coat, or something that should be painted over. Either that, or 2005s are so awesome that the one-year paint colors just enhance the awesomeness. I like 'em.

We call it Iraqi Khaki!! lol

Not only just '05, but just '05 EX models.

I have a CK LX. Does that make it a collectors item? Maybe a custom order?

Not only just '05, but just '05 EX models.

my brother has a '05 LX in Cargo Khaki with black panels, black steel wheels and hubcaps just like my '08 LX.

Maybe I'm misinformed. Maybe I regret not demanding an LX CK when I got mine.

i aint sayin nothin Pope might come here and try to borrow'' mine...:rolleyes:

Yeah, that is a beautiful color. Anytime I see one, I regret just a little bit not choosing that instead of Red when I got my '05. I maybe would have, if I'd known it would be so rare!

yes thats cargo kaki I have one just like it, kinda strange tho the sign says marks work behind it. but I dont rember working there????and I do like my cream with a splash of coffie.this is getting a little to daisavodo. hey who knows how to put ex hu w/mp3 into lx 2005?will it go right in?
