RE: Anyone seen Havana yet? - Evo-king - 22-11-2011 06:14pm
Right, at the moment I'm a happy bunny, having checked with my dealer.
Havana is not Black it is a Premium metallic grey.
Barolo is Black, and is also Premium Metallic, unfortunately the are very few vehicle examples around, it is only available on the Evoque and was on a Special Edition Range Rover, my dealer will let me know if one comes in.

IMO the Barolo was not 'special' enough or different enough to warrant paying the extra.

Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, my wife was involved in the decision process, 6 of our last 8 cars have been black.
Hence, my reservation by asking the dealer to show us a car in that colour as soon as one comes in.
It were just for me, it would be Firenze Red but I'm not that selfish.

Evo-king - sorry, should clarify my point. Don't mind the blacks at all, just don't think that Barolo is a special enough black over the other blacks to pay more for.

I can't disagree with that another £500 notes or so could easily be put to good use elsewhere.
But I am having to keep my good lady happy.

Completely by chance I saw a RRS in what i could've sworn was Barolo parked outside my office building last week - not knowing then that it was actually a limited edition Autobiography colour on the RRS, I shrugged and told myself my eyes were playing a trick on me.
So if the car I saw was indeed Barolo then I have to admit you have one nice colour there Evo-king, though I have to warn you that you may wish the sun shone a little more in the UK since it really works best with lots of light reflecting from it (i.e. the car i saw looked quite yummy in direct sunlight but the bits in the shade just looked black)

That's the one, I couldn't remember which RR it was on, but it was the Autobiography.
I could say the same about my solar panels on my house roof, haha.

See this post for outside pictures of Borolo:-

I viewed this very same Evoque the next day in the Showroom at Exeter, and it looked a very different colour under the showroom lights, but viewed outside (on a sunny day) it looked almost the same as any other Black until very close to it, and only then could you see the 'Burgandy flakes' for want of a better shade (even though IMHO Borolo tates better !!) glisten in with the mix of the black.

QUATTROMAN and MIB, thanks for that
At the end of the day it's Black with the added bonus of a summer colour change.
