2020 on order colour delimma
After a couple of years with my 2015 S I placed an order for a 2020 R and now the wait begins.
Carpathian grey with 5 spoke carbon fibre rims and black interior. Basically the same set up I fell in love with when I walked into a dealership a few years back but wasn’t in the position to get it.
However walked into another dealership yesterday looking at colour options and really liked an F type in Loire blue. For 2020 that colour is replaced with Portofino blue that looks close on line but not sure I want to commit to a colour on a screen. I have some time to change my mind before the order is final. Yes I know first world problems...
Thanks for listening

It's really impossible to properly judge without seeing in person, on a car, in daylight. I occasionally have colour-choice remorse, but it's mild and passes quickly. If I had to wait to see an F-Type in person of each colour I'd still be waiting to decide.

[QUOTE=OzXFR;2031978]Good to see a North 'Murican (Fjmviper) spelling colour correctl
Canadians are not 'Mercans/'Murcans". We spell properly ("colour")...and the last letter of the alphabet north of the Canada-US border is "zed" not "zee"☺️
And we are generally not very fond of the colour orange.

Previous comments about British/Canadian/Australian/New Zealand/SouthAfrican etc English vs American English aside (hmmmm...that list of countries might make you think...), American spelling is generally far more logical in terms of its relationship to pronunciation. While a Canadian pronounces the word "lieutenant" as [lef-tenant], an American says [loo-tenant], much closer to the original French...there are many other examples, "colour" vs "colour" being a variation. The "u" alters the pronunciation not a whit so why should it be there? Nevertheless, most of the English-speaking world KNOWS that it should be there. And then there is the issue of the pronunciation of "Jaguar"...

Grey is a dull color, if you would even call it a color. It’s plain. F-type needs to be red, orange, black etc

Should we turn this spelling into a discussion on the metric vs imperial system
I agree that the F type looks great in most colours and I really like Nati’s choices in bold colours having seen his current one in person. I find black hides it’s beautiful lines so I have decided to go with the carpathian grey with pimento seat inserts.
