I just saw a vid of a yellow roadster with two tone seats white interior ,I'm sure a white interior has to be the rarest and best looking imo next to all black interior
What is the rarest color combo ?

 

Rarest Combo is = Bright Silver / Machine Grey sitting next to each other.

 

Chris L, those are two nice and seldom seen exterior colors. My son does have a 2007 Machine Gray coupe and I tried to convince him to buy a matching roadster (70k miles, used, for about $15k, two years ago) but he has no room or time for two cars. I wish I had bought it.

 

Another rare color combo IMHO, is a Crossfire in Oyster Gold. I have only seen two (one coupe and one roadster). My guess is that they made less than 750 or so of these.

 

Back in 07-08 I saw a gold one (new) on a dealers lot.....kinda ....odd....I'm thinking gold ones are rare for a reason.

 

i've seen twice as many Gold compared to Machine Grey in this area.

 

Well you can look at the pics of my gold one in my User Gallery. I don't usually like Gold colour on a car but on the Crossfire it looks great!

 

Gold is kinda rare -- and it looks really good in person. One of our club members has a gold roadster.
Yellow is rare - expecially with the white/black interior -- but I'm not a big fan of the yellow.
Silver is pretty rare and it looks awesome. The silver allows for most of the color combos to look good, unlike many of the cars which have IMHO - mismatched exterior / interior colors. Gold exterior with red interior is........we'll, I'm not a fan (no offense - just personal taste). Many other colors and combos don't work either.
Machine grey is awesome, very rare and if I could find a reasonable price on one with the oyster interior......we'll, I'd probably have to buy it.
Red isn't that rare, but a red roadster with the oyster interior is my target second XFire. I think it is a great combo.
Aero blue has grown on me and either the oyster, black or grey / or combo grey is great in this car. I didn't like it at first, but I'd consider buying one in this color now.
Oyster White - not so rare but look great when clean. Almost any color combo interior works well.

Not rare are the SSB's (my color) but I happen to love it's camelian look as it changes in different light - direct sun, evening, inside a garage, etc. Also, a classy interior if it's the slate / blue (my color). I don't like the red or straight grey or black nearly as much.
Black isnt' rare and while I love the car in black, I've had black cars before and it's great clean, bad dirty -- which means even more washing that I do now (which is alot). I like clean cars.

Eitherway, I'd take any of them because I love these cars.

 

Gold works on the XF because its has a strong flake and of course is in the metallic color family which lends itself so well to the shape of the car. Makes it look like a bullet.

I live in the 'land of Crossfires' (FL) and see 2 or 3 every day on my commute...I've never seen another Oyster Gold version.

 

I know gold and yellow are the rarest exterior colors but machine grey ? (That's the darkest shade of grey for the xf correct?) Didn't know that was a rare color
What i like was the white and black interior , very luxury

 

Machine Gray replaced Graphite Gray with 2006 model year. Interesting that in 2004-2005, Graphite Gray XFires were plentiful. But once the switch was made in 2006, there just weren't as many Machine Gray XFires produced. Glad I have one.

Later,

 

apparently im colorblind because i cannot tell the difference between machine gray and graphite

 

Some colors combined with the cedar interior are rare also, especially in the newer models when they were using up leftover interior parts.

 

The colors are close. In fact, I've had websites for paint color to repair dings, road rash , etc. claim initially that the color codes are the same. I've had to send specific color tints for Machine Gray so they mix the correct paint. Close inspection will show that the Machine Gray has a "bluing" metal-flake effect, sort of like the color of fresh steel. The Graphite Gray doesn't have this effect.

 

Machine Grey vs Graphite

 

I have a 2007 Bright Silver Metallic with a Cedar interior.

 

I believe machine grey was only available one year.

rarest color combo IMHO is machine grey with salmon seats.

I've only seen one

 

Graphite Gray was available on 2004 - 2005 models. Machine Gray was available on model years 2006 - 2008. Lots of paint suppliers state the colors are identical and it only was a name change. But the tint codes are different: Graphite Gray = PDR/759; Machine Gray = PDR/184.

Can't recall ever seeing a Machine Gray XFire with the Dark Gray/Canyon Red interior. That would be rare. Might have been a 2008 model since Chrysler was installing the "salmon" 2-tone interior in a lot of the cars produced near the end of production.

For me, the rarest color combo I saw was an Oyster Gold Roadster with the Tuxedo (Dark Gray / Cool Vanilla) leather interior. I've only see one and it was during the original CAA event held in St Louis. Car was absolutely beautiful! Frank - Do you remember who owned that car? I recall he was member of the St Louis owners group.

 

The interesting thing about the Classic Yellow versions was it is the only exterior color that was offered only on the Limited Roadster Crossfire. All the other colors were offered on both Coupes & Roadsters.

 

Perhaps I am mistaken about the term Machine grey.

There was a color one might call "gun metal blue." Like machine grey but with a blue tone. It was to that color I was referring. My body guy tells me it takes six layers of different paints to achieve.

Yes we do have a St Louis member with a gold roadster and Tuxedo seats. Susan and Mike. Their last names escape me.
