OG IS the new Fuji

I'm afraid going for Fuji is to slightly follow the herd instinct. Just because the concept LRX was in white doesn't mean you have to have the car in the same colour. I do think that white really is the new silver, interesting how these colours come into fashion and then go out.
I changed from Indus to Firenze at the last minute, am pleased I did.
White is a devil to keep clean as well...

I'm going to get branded as a trouble maker.....

Personally I think most of the colours look good, the only issue i have with Black is that there is a lot of detail on the Evoque and that tends to get a bit lost. I had the same issue on my last Black A5.
Also its a bugger to stop getting swirl marks in the paint

The concept was also in black/ dark color

To me white looks the best, but I am also a bit biased, I would say go for what your heart says and you won't be disappointed...

Fuji is a great colour on the Evoque..............but so are most of the others. The question is, if you go for something a bit different how will you feel 1 or 2 years down the road. Go with the colour YOU like best not what you think others might like.

Having had white cars in the past I actually find them deceptively good for not showing the dirt compared to black, definitely a no-no for cleanliness (i do also drive a black car and a grey car!) Grey/Silver are good for hiding the dirt unless it's mud... like it is here in mudfordshire, or is that tractorshire.
Only advice see the colour you choose in the flesh if you can and whatever you choose get a great coat of Wax/Sealant/stuff on it.

My last car was a silver 4x4 and it never looked dirty. Went for Barolo for the Evoque and four months in am really impressed how clean it is keeping. Whether the premium metallic and paint treatment is helping I don't know, but am not having to wash as often as expected.
Have listened to people on the forum re cleaning..two buckets, quality lamswool mit etc etc and I am swirl free.
As others have said it is a quality (generally) product that looks fantastic in all colours. Go with your heart only you can decide.

I am now wondering whether to swap to OG or black
I keep looking at other peoples cars & they all look good, but i always question my first choice on every car i order
Should i just stick with the above choice ?
I think that it looks good in every colour - even the lime green, although that's a bit wild for my taste!
The dealer said to be careful of wild colour choices when considering resale - I couldn't care as I would like to enjoy it while I own it!
I started off with a Fuji choice and changed it a month later to OG.
Mainly because I saw so many white cars in general on the road and I thought it was a bit too commonplace. only my opinion.
My brother who works for BMW (who CANNOT convince me to take an X3 sport) said to choose a car that you can live with for the next three years.
Although my mouth watered at the red and I just loved the white, I went for OG as I could happily live with it and would not get sick of it, if I ever get it, that is
