Default Oyster Gold with Vanilla on Ebay

Not sure if this is a repost but found this on ebay earlier today. Very interesting color combo.

I would have to see it in person, but it kinda works here in the pics.

Having the black steering wheel makes the interior, my only gripe with the cedar (red?) color is the cedar colored steering wheel.

I still think all the Limiteds look better with a SRT bumper, this one needs it to make the car.

That's weird, the Vanilla interior has always had a Vanilla steering wheel. Either this is a mistake or a change in the '07's.

It needs SRT wheels or something else. The stock ones suck with that color!

Wow, good catch...I didn't even notice the steering wheel being black. I'm not sure which i like better the black wheel or the vanilla wheel. I have always loved that interior color, but the more I look at these pics I don't like it with this exterior.

Don't like it with this exterior and I really dislike the Vanilla with the dark wheel. Much more practical but its lost the "wow" factor.

I love the 'nilla too, tried to find a black SRT-6 coupe with that color but found out it wasn't offered.

Looks like they received a big shipment of new Roadsters though.

Dang...my poor husband, I've tried to get him to buy this red coupe "don't you want to drive one all the time honey?"
Now this car, I like the colors a lot, but the first thing I thought was it has the wrong steering wheel??? Maybe it's all the other XF's in the back ground that makes me want to give one a home, poor things homeless and all. One of them would like to share a garage with another XF, right? He didn't go for the coupe and didn't see the logic in getting it for me either.

The black steering wheel seems kind of fitting for the roadster however with the coupe the vanilla wheel is nice! Too bad oyster gold isn't too hot on this car. As someone previously mentioned it doesn't go with the rims. Someone once called the color "old man tan".

Looks like Dead Man Tan to me, don't like the black wheel. I have the cedar interior - I like the red.
Last convert I had was the '97 Audi Cabriolet - silver with red interior and red top - the Wyoming state trooper that gave me the ticket - said he just wanted to see who would be driving "that" kinda car - because by god no one from Wyoming would.

I rather like this color. And the interior is snazzy too - I think I may the only one that likes the black wheel, since vanilla would get dirty SO easy there.

The black steering wheel may not be as fancy but it is a lot more practical, wear and tear wise.

yuck...

I.M.O this exterior color is just horrible... does nothing to show off the cars curves. this will be the car that sits on their lot for months, they will then call it "Managers special" and drop the price and maybe sell it to some really old couple who likes the color.

sorry if I offended all you old people out there.

But my X-fire is Aero blue, not gold.

No "old people" around here? You mean over 90, Correct? I'm still like 27, going on 21!
