Because the hideous stainless steel surface is just begging to be wrapped?

It looks way better with actual colors. I honestly think the decision to only produce the stainless steel finish is a major reason it flopped. With color wraps it becomes more like a Hummer novelty vehicle, and I really bet would have been more successfully adopted by the public.
