Your wish is my command. I really like the combination - it's very elegant. These aren't the best interior pics (i'll try to take some better ones and post them at another time), but here you go:

The pics I posted do make the interior look lighter than it is. The Brogue is a very rich brown. It looks great when viewed in the flesh. I'm traveling this week but I'll try to take some better shots for you guys when I get back.

Obviously you can't make a bad choice when it comes to color,I personally think the BRG is awesome,I saw on at my local dealer and it just popped in the sun...not a traditional BRG by any stretch of the imagaination...but stunning none the less.

However that being said,the car's little details such as the tail lights and front air intake scoops really look great against the white due to the sharp contrast between the color of the car and the trim.When Test Drive with Tommy Kendall did a segment on the car,they had both a white and red one,Dario Franchitti drove the other car.

When it came time to do the walk around to talk about the styling of the car,they obviously chose the white Coupe because of the points I just made...you can see more detail in the white.

Classic and timeless...that is a stunning color combination!

That car will have great resale value...above and beyond...due to the very traditional colors.Great choice.

I agree. I have done side by side comparisons with pics of Polaris vs Stratus and Luner vs Stratus. IMO the lines are more distinguishable on the lighter colors.
Still don't know what color I will settle on. I'm picky about color and I want to make sure I get this right so my OCD **** tendencies will be happy.

black ftype is a must. the contrast of the daytime headlight leds with a blacked out exterior is sure to impress (and does).

My R gets TONS of appreciation, and surprisingly from women. I have owned a few nice sports cars, and they all were appreciated by those of the male variety, not unexpected since cars are not usually something women care about. My Porsche Spyder got a few looks and compliments from random women, but I can count those on my hand. The F-Type on a daily basis has random women complementing my car, that is in addition to the men. I get thumbs up from cars passing by in either direction, and rubberneck stares ALL day long. This cars design is just plain stunning.
(BTW, not looking to pick up any women, just an interesting observation I have seen that supports the opinion that this is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, cars of this decade).

Used 2012 Jaguar XJ For Sale | Charlotte NC

tough to see her sitting at Scott Jaguar waiting for a new owner, everywhere I took the car people's jaw dropped.... Can only imagine the response on the F-Type R

Going with Ultimate Black on Jet Black w/red stitch/black belts and Black Pack, I didn't expect my Jag's design elements to show as well as a lighter-colored car.
But, no arguing with results. The length of "stare-time" as drivers approach me or pass from the side, while somewhat surprising, speaks volumes about the strength of the F-Type's silhouette...from any angle.

so, of all the different ways I've seen people appreciate the car - - thumbs up, cat calls, rubber necking or even attempting to flag the car down in the middle of the street - - my absolute favorite is the drivers who quietly roll down their windows so they can listen to the sound
