Popped In To The Local Dealers Today - THEMACS - 11-02-2012 09:20pm
Whilst we were in Liverpool today I popped into the the JLR Dealer, which is our nearest dealer, not the one we ordered from though, just to have a look at the Evoque again as we hadn't seen up close since September and I had started to wonder if it was as nice as I remembered
Well, I can put my mind at rest, they all looked Fab, well almost all, more of that in a bit!
The main reason was to check on colour again before it was too late! When we got there they had a couple of white ones in the used car section, two dynamics and one pure, the pure had had the black plastic trim bits painted white to look like a dynamic and had the black trim fitted, who were they trying to fool, it looked terrible! I then popped over to where their demos were. I saw an Impena Sand 5 Door dynamic, looked good, and a couple of white Pures. I must say they all looked stunning, even a basic white pure with 18" wheels looked brilliant! But no OG
Anyway, as I was driving out one of the sales guys asked if we were ok and I said I just wanted to see an OG, he said they had one out on a test drive that wouldn't be long. Just as we finished talking it pulled up
It looked absolutely Fantastic, it is such a Fantastic colour and by Far the nicest Evoque they had there, and again it was a Pure with privacy. I know a couple of people have said that it is a bit of a boring colour, but believe me it was anything but boring and to me it was the standout Evoque there and I am not just saying that. Well I am most happy tonight and know that we have picked the Right colourSorry for the ramblings!

It is all to do with personal preferance.That is what I like about the Evoque.With all the different colour combinations and huge list of extras you end up with something you have almost created yourself.You may love it but others will not.

Orkney Grey is a fab choice - it looks good even when dirty as I've discovered in recent days!

I love the OG, had it. On my quick dabble in the pure I had for a month. Think it works better with the dynamic, as. The contrast with the black grill and silver bumper works very well. Our D4 is Stornaway and my last audia4 was grey too, so that's why going for Firenze, which I think is equally as stunning

I think that OG pic is the best example I have seen and it looks great.

It wasn't the black trim that looked bad, it was the black plastic trim painted white that looked Naff, and to cap it off, the insert at the bottom of the door, don't know the technical name, was painted black

Themacs,
I agree OG is the best colour or should I say my favourite colour as I don't want to offend all those that have ordered any of the other colours (realsied there's some very sensitive souls on this forum). I went to my dealers to see whether they had an OG, out of about 13 evoques all being prep'd for delivery there was 8 fujis, 2 blacks, 2 red and 1 OG, so I think we'll be part of a select group.
