Silver is definitely the best colour as it hides the dirt and doesn't show any swirl marks in the paint.

Black has got to be the worst as it shows up every tiny scratch and spec of dust.

Next time we have a sunny day look at any dark coloured (especially black) car in direct sunlight to see all the swirl marks.

I'm with Eddy on that one - personally, cayman green is :yuck:

I'd like one in metallic aubergine though!

I'm swinging from silver to moonstone. Can't decide. Does the moonstone one hide scratches as well as the silver? I'm bad at cleaning so I think maybe silvers the best option. Keep daydreamin about moonstone with red & black leather though!!! :scratch:

Moonstone hides scratches reasonably well. But it does look dirty quicker than silver.

I saw a dark green one in Dieppe a couple of weeks ago. It looked pretty cool. It' s a colour that isn't available here in the uk.

Yes - I spotted a dark green (foreign) one in Cambridgeshire a few weeks backs and posted it up. Lyndon thought it might be a Roland Garros special edition that wasn't available in the UK. Tie-break green is the colour, or French version of British Racing Green in my book! :lol:

Interesting quote about the red & black leather. If Moonstone had come with the red & black and silver with black, I'd have bought silver instead of Moonstone.

As for Cayman green. I think it's great. I'd have bought that if I didn't think I'd have a resale problem and even more importantly if my missus had let me.

I think the caymen green one would depreciate the most whereas the black and silver colour would retain the most values.

I love the cayman green, aegean blue and firedance....the colours kind of suit the `personality' of the car. Silver and moonstone are `safe' and black looks good but only when its sparkling clean...

And the interior? Black leather is fine but black and red? Eeuuwww..... :(

I agree on this as two-tone leather doesn't really suit the car.

all black leather is always a safe bet.

The China Blue is out now (I mentioned this colour earlier in the posting) it comes with a grey leather interior and the one I saw yesterday in the dealership was a 2.0l Allure - quite possibly the most gorgeous thing I've seen !!!!

Tried to do a deal to part ex my 04 2.0 Aegean Blue Allure + a bit of cash for it but they wouldn't budge as they've been swamped with people interested and know they're going to get the full asking price of £15'995 and I wouldn't be surprised that it's gone after the weekend.

They've only made 2000 apparently with the grey leather but it is gorgeous !!!!

I'll cry if I see this car driving round here :cry:

Is this grey leather the one they are calling Lama? I saw an Aegean blue Allure with it the other week...dealer said it would be out at the end of July I think?
