I think it falls I'm the "I can't have it, so I want it more" category.

It looks better IRL than anyone could have imagined- that has to be part of it. People who never would have considered gold may change their mind once they see it. saw one up close for the first time last week. Let me tell you: NO photo or even video online can accurately show the color. It is subtle- from even a foot away, it is indistinguishable from silver. Anyone who feared it would be garish would find that it is just the opposite.
Still love my space gray- seeing gold for real did not sway me b/c I prefer black face, but I can imagine the appeal growing as more and more people see them in the wild vs. on screen.
