I don't really mind that color disappearing myself, never been a big fan but I am still not sure why B5 is going away...that's a classic color! I guess the new Frostbite Blue is very similar and still pretty nice so I can live with that I guess.....There are so many grays and silvers in the lineup I don't think you'll notice this going away...

Destroyer grey is okay. I personally wouldn't buy it, but its not horrendous. Something about it gives it a deeper look than the other paints, at least on the Charger. There's one here I see all the time. B5 seems really popular. Interesting decision to get rid of it.

I think the destroyer grey is a really cool color. I know I am in the minority on that, but something about it really appeals to me.

Even though people like B5 I don't see a ton of them on the road, but then look at production numbers it is a low production color....I suspect its because the stupid dealerships load up the lots with black, white, and gray colored cars, very few dealer orders for "high impact" colors relatively speaking...

If we all liked the same color, man what a boring world!

B5 is going away?
Damn. I bet Max Steel is still around.

These guys really are pushing me to a C8 Vette.
Wonder what the hold up with the 2020 reveal is anyway.

And im probably in the minority but i am cross shopping the hellcat/426 with the new C8.

I love Destroyer Gray. Glad I didn't wait till 2020 to order. B5 was my second choice.

As you can tell in my avatar, I am a fan of the DG....it blends so well on the road, besides how many can say they have a color that starts with "DESTROYER"!!!
I think it is fitting for a HELLCAT.

I won't miss yet another gray at all. There's like 359 grays offered. I don't get the appeal. With that being said, if I were going with gray, it wouldve been DG.

I mean I love the look of the challenger in all the colors really, just love B5 Blue a ton more than any other one out there, and Frostbite Blue for 2020 seems as an acceptable substitute [twothumb]

my favorite color.. Couldn't find an 18' WB A8 without red interior or red calipers and didn't want a black hood.. Now I may need to track down an off lease 19 Red Eye.

To each their own, that's why they make different colors. DG for me though was like primer with a clearcoat. It just seemed really absent of any real color and I just hate it. Some colors are like that though, you just love it or hate it, no in between.

I find it funny the story says "hurry and order soon", yet others on here have confirmed it's already too late to place a 2019 order. I'm so confused.

That bums me out! It was the best looking color they ever offered and the fastest too! Glad I got mine before it was too late.

Thank you for this info. The article stated it was available and just had my friend check Chrysler direct connect. You are correct it is no longer available.
