Hello everyone,
My first post here in the XF forum, my name is sebastian and aim from Stockholm, Sweden.
A true Jaguar fanatic and have grown up with Jaguars around me (my dad restored about 10 Jags), my first car was a Jaguar.
I sold my fully loaded Jaguar XJR -07 some weeks ago, I LOVED that car but I decided that it was time for a change, and I have been very tempted to buy a XF for quite a while now, as a matter of fact my boss took delivery of his long awaited midnight XF SV8 about 2 weeks. We both took the car down to Germany for some shopping last week and it was a true blast to drive on the autobahn :twisted: I will probably never be able to use its full power here on the Swedish highways which is a pitty but as I drive down to Spain/ southern France twice a year I think I will find the car stimulating, to say the least :lol:
When I got back home I was even more tempted to get a SV8 myself, so I was at my local dealer for over an hour yesterday and everything apart from the exterioir colour was settled, I will go back to the dealer on thursday to place the order so by then I have to decide in what colour I want the car to be.
I want to have my car in some darker exterior colour as I think these makes the XF most justice, but of course thats my personal opinion
I dont know what colours are avaible in other countries but here in Scandinavia unfortunely most of the avaible exterior colours for the XF is very light ones, such as silver, white as well as different pale blue or grey. As my boss bought a black one I have decided not to go with a similar one, even though it looks AMAZING in black. My local dealer got a SV8 in radiance red and a SV8 in lunar grey for delivery, and will have azure blue, liquid silver and Porcelain white SV8s in their showroom in the up coming months, but I dont any of these.
Here is some of my options so far (the list is of course longer but will only list the notable options):
Charcoal/Charcoal leather interior
Oak veneer
Volans 20inh rims
Multimedia system
Glass sunroof (not 100% sure about this)
Its fully loaded to say the least.
So, the exterior colours aim choosing between at the moment is in this order, aim most tempted on the two first ones at the moment as you can see.
1.Indigo Blue
2.Botanical Green
3.Radiance Red
Possibly also considering Vapour Grey metallic.
I know its my choice in the end but any help, suggestions or opinions about my choice and which exterioir colour YOU think I should choose and consider would be very helpful to me, maybe also if you happen to have any photograps of any of the above colours in any dealerships, also interior shots would be good as you get a better idea about the combinations then.
EDIT: Sorry for my very poor english, aim orginally of american descend which you can hardly believe when you read the above.
