I am usually to be found haunting the Aston forum on PH, but luckily have found you guys, so a big hello.
I have on order a Dynamic Coupe petrol with Pursuit interior and Lux Pack.

Originally I was advised January delivery, but have now been told November.

I still have a couple of weeks to finalise colour which I am struggling with.

Ideally I went straight for the now defunct Kosrae, and the Gallway replacement I think is too dark.

I dont like dark colours with the associated cleaning nightmares. I have had a lot of silver cars, and think there will be too many white out there.

Therefore I have gone for Ipanema sand.

Has anyone seen this colour on an Evoque? If so can you put my mind at rest that this is a good choice.



Thank you

I attended the Evoque unleashed event yesterday in Aberdeen; I believe this was the first such UK event. There were several cars on view and yes we did get to drive them around a pre-planned route around and in Aberdeen, as well as an 'obstacle course' which was great fun. Anyway - colours in the flesh. Blacks & Ipanema were, in my view, slightly underwhelming. Redis stunning and white is amazing! The other colour which caught my eye was the Orkney Grey. A couple of customers who attended the event had also ordered Dynamic Coupes in Orkney Grey and both were satisfied that they had made the right choice. One of them, however, decided that he was going to try to change his order from an SD4 to the petrol version. The SD4 does have a slight lag when moving off but is more than adequate on the road. I drovethe SD4 auto andthe drive was nothing short of amazing.


Good luck with your colour choice. I would still opt for white or firenze red but would not be dissatisfied with orkney grey which does stand out more than ipanema.

Did you get to see many interior colours? I have ordered the white Pure, but unsure whether to go for ebony or cirrus interiors?

Hi and welcome to the site, I too am looking forward to seeing them a bit more in the flesh.

As for Ipanema Sand is this it in this video:http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/video/lifestyle/motors/3419797/Range-Rover-Evoque-ative.html?aid=3419797?

Hi Dan.


Thanks for posting the link, I do believe that is Ipanema. Hmmm I actually do quite like it.

Hi Arella


There were samples of the 3 Pure interiors on show. I changed from Almond to Cirrus. I am sure that the car will also look brilliant with the Ebony interior but I have a preference to lighten the interior of my car and I also believe that black shows up dust too easily.



Cheers

Thanks Deeker
I am thinking of the Cirrus to lighten the interior too.
Unfortunately, my original Evoque Unleashed Event date was changed from 23rd July to 2nd September

so won't get to see the car until it's too late to amend my order.

DEEKER - Excellent post... Ive ordered Dynamic SD4 manual in white, no17 on Inverness Land Rover list but my girlfriend was in Aberdeen at the event on Wednesday with her dad as I'm currently offshore. She took pic's of the Orkney Grey and I've since been deliberating whether to change or not but if you think white is as nice as you say then I'm going to stick with White.

Like Di, I have gone for the coupe petrol but the dynamic front and rear bumpers make a strong non-colour coded design statement with those silver/grey inserts. Then add the black grille, bonnet vents and I think the car can look quite busy in some colours. This will be my "daily driver" and I have other cars which make a more flamboyant statement. I'm looking therefore for a more stealth effect which is why I've gone for silver below the waistline and black above. Each to his or her own, of course, it's good to have the choice.

i ordered my 5 door pure with almond interior !!! i was tempted on the ebony however my last car had black leather and interior and dust shows too much so a lighter colour with a pan roof should look great

Add privacy.....add privacy.....add privacy.....add privacy

...and yes it is a classic choice if that's the look you want....but add privacy glass

Being a woman and also a Gemini I have now changed my order to Firenze red after seeing some really good, in the flesh photos.

Wonder what it will be next week

Pursuit interior for anyone interested. The grey looks a little blue in the pictres, but it really is a nice mid grey colour. I have read that some people thought the lighter leather colour has a yellow tinge, but it doesn't, it is ivory and lightens the interior.
