Default Not my jam

…but to be honest I think it would actually look a lot better if they would stop with the crayon colours and matte paint, and put a proper gloss black or grey, or anything besides the foofy colours they’ve been highlighting to date.

I will never be a buyer but I hope it works out for them. It’s gonna be interesting to see how it goes, what the final production car looks like, etc…

I like real colors more than millennial gray, but luckily the buyers can choose to go dark, vibrant or something in the middle.

I read somewhere that they are likely using the more attention-getting colors for now because they get more discussion, and here we are demonstrating that.

It’s a trend, and in Rolls case the use of these colors and launch of EV is increasing sales.

I like Mister Meister’s suggestion to use jam instead of paint.

The 00 model that everyone seems so worked up about, is NOT the production vehicle. The car as produced is likely to bear little resemblance to the attention-grabbing monstrosity…but Jaguar has succeeded, ham-fistedly, in getting everybody’s attention.
