Which Crossfire is the best colour?
Which Crossfire is the best colour?
Hmm think the black may just edge it in terms of best colour. Yes we do say 'colour' and not 'color' over here.
(Black- showing real definition with the silver shark fins on the wing)
(Silver- no contrast with wing fins)
(White - this is a stunning example of one of the members from this forum. Not something you would usually see)
(Nice example of the grey- looks really nice second to the black one in my opinion)
(This is the SSB having one of it's silver looking day's)
(Not my cup of tea, lol wouldn't go down too well on a dull miserable day in the UK)
(Hmm Decent clolour)
(Blue - One for the ladies me thinks)
Best Colours:
1: Black
2: Grey
3: SSB
4: Silver
5: White (No.1 with that stunning example)
6: Red
7: Blue
8: Yellow

Yellow, Yellow, Yellow - you said it wouldn't go over well on a rainy UK day, but that is when it is the BEST!! You come out of work all sad because it is raining AGAIN, thinking that you will go home to your flat for tea & scones but then you see your own ray of sunshine!! These cars lift your spirit & the yellow ones are the best at it. Of course not everyone is special enough to own a yellow XF. That's why they are the most limited of all the colors (the only color that only came in 1 body style - limited roadster) - they are reserved for the most unique of all XF owners! Taz, Rapps, MsGump, Me ... you get the picture!!
Re: Which Crossfire is the best colour?
I may be biased but...
SSB when combined with the Cedar/ Slate interior is my favorite. But I would like to have one in every color.
Here's my list in order of favorite to least
1. SSB, with Cedar/ Slate
2. Alabaster white, with Cedar/ Slate
3. Aero Blue
4. Black, with Cedar/ Slate
5.Oyster Gold, with Cedar/ Slate
6. Black, with Cedar/ Slate
7. Machine gray, with Cedar/ Slate
8. Graphite, with Cedar / Slate
9. Blaze Red
10. Silver
11. Yellow

Is this car factory or did someone paint it? I have NEVER seen one in that color anywhere but here in Griffin.

I have black, it looks great when it has just been polished but ten minutes later it looks dusty and after a rain it looks pathetic. In the summer it gets hot inside and you can cook eggs on the roof. Other than that its OK.
My first choice would have been alabaster, followed by graphite and machine grey, black then red, followed by the blues, gold and silver, yellow would have been at the bottom.
I love the black but the work to keep it nice is too much, swirls show up even when you are not looking for them.

IMO exterior color is fine but the combo with cedar is not my cup of tea....

Kim, the yellow is most definately a Florida or California Colour. I guess it would be ok in the meditarean countries of Europe also. People would probably sell their houses if you parked one next door to them on your driveway.
The white does stand out but i've never seen one in the UK, I don't think they come in that colour over here.
Re: Which Crossfire is the best colour?
Wow, tons of yellow haters!
I think the think about the yellow is that it doesn't "go" with the rest of the colors. All the rest of the colors are more neutral or muted. Doesn't mean that they aren't beautiful - they all look great, but the yellow is the only candy colored one & even that's muted. Sometimes I wonder what the XF would look like in some super candy colors like SubLime or GoManGo.
