Yeah I thought Purple too it's very strange, I think you are right Tuckerz it will grow on us & karen B that was exactly my reason for going for the Boston Blue, as for the Chrome I'm going to sound like such a big girl hear I thought it came as standard my sales man didn't go through any of the extras in any detail so I now have a complete panic on so I am assuming no it won't have the chrome I'm not worrying until I see it!!! Think I was too interested in the RLink & have kind of neglected the outside!! I'm sure it will be fine
