I hope so because that's what I've ordered . I haven't seen this combination in the 'flesh' though, but hopefully they will have something at the unleashed events.

@berlin2011 - white would be fantastic ....

(@paulus599) .... but not quite as nice as Firenze Red (lol)

White does certainly work. The lighter the colour, the more it accentuates the unique lines of the Evoque in my opinion.

No, it will look fantastic of course - especially with the black roof

You should check this video - don't understand a word but definitely Fuji White Prestige with Element.

Only difference to your order is the Manual vs Auto.

You have a point, one of my concerns with the Orkney grey is that its too 'color coded' all the silver bits (grill etc.) just blends too well, while they really pop with the white.

On the other hand though half of the orders are bound to be white… a fact that one can take in two ways a.) it's so fabulous in white it's a no brainer b.) if everyone has white, I'm glad I got something a little more unique.

tough choice - luckily I have a little time though, checked with my dealer today and he indicated I can still make changes up to the end of June before my order is closed.

Thanks for that berlin2011, hadn't seen that one before. It would be good to see something with the exterior in view though, maybe through an open door/window, so that you can see both at the same time.

Slightly off topic any thoughts on the bench seat vs 2 seats (getting a coupe). Initially I went for the standard 2 seats but now after seeing this photo ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/64312021@N06/5854230872/ ) I opted for the bench with armrest.

Am I the only one who thinks the 2 seats look like they stuck marshmallows into molten chocolate and then allowed to dry??

BTW. the photo is Element interior which is what I've opted for

Cheers Berlin, great video. I just came back to comment on the rear seats too. Thought they looked awful. Glad I've ordered the bench seat now
That colour interior looks cool with the (non black) panoramic roof.

Try this one ( ) same show, same car - from about 1:25 onwards there's about one a half minutes of the white prestige with Element.

Slightly different lighting so the interior looks a little warmer but definitely same car

Glad I'm not the only one - I agree on the interior IMO the best 'light' option

Surprisingly hard to find real life photo's of the rear seat (2 seat option, the bench is plentiful)

If anyone is interested here's a photo of the Spirit back seat (2 seats) http://www.flickr.com/photos/64312021@N06/5853749361/

The wait is over! Here's a pic of the Evoque in grey (not sure whether it's Orkney or Stornaway)

Any thoughts?
