This is why I live Franc!!!
I fell in love with this color way before the XF's were even made. I used to have an Alfa Romeo that was that color and it was just beautiful. When I saw the XF in that color I knew I HAD to have it. It took me about a year of searching to find a clean one that hadn't been hit or had extensive paint work and that I could steal price wise, but I still think she is just the prettiest car.
I also like the fact that the Classic Yellow was the only color that only came in one model. Even the other 2 rare colors came in the coupes & roadsters. I know of 2 other yellows in my part of FL. Both driven by women - one in Merrit Island and one in St Augustine. If you see a lot of them its probably see the same couple cars over and over again. I see an Aero Blue SRT6 roadster almost every day, but those are pretty rare birds too.
I think the XF looks good in every color. I think that the pale yellow was picked for 2 reasons - it kept with the classic lines of the car and it was muted like the rest of the colors in the line. I would have loved a Sassy Grass Green or Plum Crazy XF but it didn't go with the line - either would Top Banana.
I think the yellow still pops in the line up of other XFs.
