United Arab Emirates 2008 LR2 i6 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

Going to order mine in the next month or so and it will be Stornoway grey for two reasons, it's dark but not too dark to make it into a cooking pot in 45 C + and also light enough to not show the dust from the sand too much.

Canada 2007 LR2 i6 HSE Auto Nazca Sand

Nazca Sand with beige leather. It is so beautiful that I decided to buy this color (and actually bought) the second I saw it in the the showroom although in the beginning I was thinking about Stornoway Grey.

Obviously, it is the best color for LR2 Whistle

2007 LR2 i6 SE Auto Narvik Black

I bought a narvik black just over a week ago. Tan interior, been a dream so far only cleanliness flaw was the rims with the florida rain, but otherwise none. Got it cleaned today and it's back to shining like it just left the lot!

Sorry guys but that white looks as good as the fake white teeth on all those Californians.......BAD!!!! The only reason to have a white car is if you live in a hot climate it keeps cooler, but that was why air con was invented ...as the guy thought white cars look naff!!

Stornaway Grey may resemble a foggy day in London, be boring, be timid, but boy it reeks status and quality...not Essex Bimbo or Hollywood cheapness. If you resell a FL2, which will sell quickest in the the UK white or grey???? the guy with the white car will still be 'whistling' waiting for buyer long after the grey car seller has banked his cash and be driving his FL3 Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Sorry but 40% of us cannot be wrong!!!

Cuts both ways - when you come to selling your Stornaway you'll have plenty of competition so you'll have to match your price with other Stornaway sellers; whereas Mr White may have to wait longer for his buyer, but he may well be able to get more from someone who's looking for a hard-to-find 2nd hand white FL2.

I don't think the colour choice of 2nd hand buyers is going to be much different from new buyers, if 40% of new buyers want grey, then probably so will 40% of 2nd hand buyers in a couple of years time, so I think it's just one of those things that "balances out"

It's all making me think that T.Flame might be a good one to go for. I originally discounted it because my 'wife-to-be' said she didn't like it, but then she says she saw this colour and liked it....but did she see an FL2 or a RRS..........

I guess I'll have to see a T.Flame in the metal to decide if it is the right choice for me or not.

Yes, you really do have to see a TF "in the metal", it's one of those colours that just doesn't photograph accurately, and even in real life it looks very different depending on lighting. I agree that because it's been a popular colour and is now no longer available to order, it might be worth a couple of hundred £ extra 3 years down the line. Plus you have to like the colour of course!

Can't be doing with people who spec a brand new vehicle based on what the next buyer might want, rather than what they want to live with for the next 3 years. Let's face it, if how much money you're going to lose on your car when you sell it is more important than your enjoyment of the car, why are you buying new in the first place when you lose £thousands the minute you drive it off the forecourt?

Here here Nightfox! Thumbs Up

It should be about what you want, and if it is a factory colour you can't too far wrong you would think.

I will only earn money when I sell my car, so am pretty free in colour choice, but even so I think I'm going to go with grey.

Gambba,

If you like to seen T. Flame visit www.de-uiver.nl the official LR stealer in Doenrade (near Sittard) in Limburg Province. He has got one in his showroom for some weeks now.
This color realy looks nice on the car.
However in a few years from now it may look Sad

Rob VW Tiguan or Freelander 2 that's the question...
