I am not sure if it's actually a Coronado, as it's described here as only being available in surf green, bright white and black combos. As there's no green on this car, and the white body colour appears to be more of the cream-coloured variety, I believe the three tone effect is caused by the dark blue side flash being exposed to sunlight, thus creating a different shade.
