Good to hear that! It's actually already arrived but since I'm currently on vacation out of town, I'll have to wait two more weeks to pick it up!Capirossi wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 6:33 pmI went for metallic, Onxy Black, but the very first model I saw was Black Stone, and that's the one that made me fall for it! I would have chosen it but metallic was included in the price on my lease, so made sense to utilise it. I'm sure you'll love itfrtsrm wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 5:14 pmDid you go for metallic or solid? I'm very close to finally getting my black stone inscription and desperately wish that I won't regret it.Capirossi wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 8:22 amI have been struggling with colour choices on the RD. My go-to is black, and I absolutely love it in black with the equivalent Mercedes 'night pack', but my current car is black and I've said for 3 years that I fancied a change, so have ended up with.....black!! I'm not a red or white person, I was very close to choosing blue but the shade isn't right for me. Silver seemed neither here or there (too white rather than a deeper silver) and the grey was a little too green-tinged in my eyes.
I would have liked to have seen a deeper blue, almost like the Ford RS blue, but my absolute ultimate would have been navy. The other half has his X6 in Carbon Black, and a neighbour has his Merc GLE Coupe in navy. Serious colour envy!! However, I know I will love my black Vader (she says, with 4 weeks to change mind, eek!)
Ps in photos I adore the blue and white!How far off is it?

The colours are SO boring ! Amazon blue would have been amazing for the R design with the black roof. The Range Rover Evoque has some seriously sexy colours which would look good in the R Design

Re: Poll time - Would you have paid to have a different colour?
I wasn't going to pay extra for a different colour as a matter of principle, so the choice was between Amazon Blue and something else (maybe Charcoal). I went for the blue option, and I've actually been quite pleased with it. A lot of people have commented that it's a nice colour. I'm just struggling to understand how such a light blue bears any resemblance to the Amazon!

Amazon blue has nothing to do with the river.
It’s a retro colour that was originally available on the Volvo Amazon. Hence the name.
