It was about the ATF discussion, but surprise, we got off topic.

Never seen me a Arctic blue in the North America.  Very cool.

We got them instead of Flash Silver in the 87 model year at least.
Perhaps
a kind soul with high speed could search online Canadian brochures for
the
other 16V model years so I can finally lay the question to rest, I'm
thinking our later silver ones were Flash same as the US; mine actually
has
an 86 production date. For the record, the car had been resprayed under
warrantee, it was plagued with the dreaded peeling 80's clear coat like
eveything else of that vintage :)
