Default Questions on the color

Hello Everyone,

I'm in NC and new to the forum...I have not purchased a Crossfire yet but have found one that caught my eye in TN...Is the yellow color the soft color that was used on the Camaro's and 300's back in the day? I didn't want to drive 200 miles before knowing the color...any feedback on this? Thanks

Not sure of the reference back then, but I can tell you the XF isn't a bold/neon/bright color from the one I've seen. It is a soft/pale yellow.

It's the same color as the 70's Camaro you refer to (my wife had one).
Mercedes-Benz also used this creamy yellow color for their vehicles in the past.

It really looks sharp with a 2 tone slate gray/vanilla interior.

Good luck with the car - I've had 2 roadsters and love 'em.

I had a Alfa that was the same buttery color too.

Yellow Crossfires are the BEST!!

Hope these pictures help. This is the Yellow and the 2-Tone Interior.
We sold 2 yellow Roadsters last week as part of our Final 5 Sale, so this one is no longer available.

I think I just found my roadster. That is, when I can afford to house two of these things Combo looks awesome.

In person, I've seen this set up in the Oyster exterior. Looks just as good or even better, IMHO.

I am in love with that color combo for a roadster. I looked at one before I got the SRT, but she said I couldn't have the 'butter yellow' one.

In my research I've noticed that the color is listed as yellow pearl on the 2007...and yellow on the 2005...did the color change or have they just listed it as pearl? Hope someone knows the answer..thanks

I have seen both; not side by side, but at different occasions, and did not know they had changed the color name. They look the same to me. Maybe side by side there might be a small difference.

Is this car at a dealer in eastern Tennesee -- Morristown? This was the dealership that had the beautiful NOS 2006 white roadster I saw in late October 2008 that was later advertised on this website. I would have preferred a white, but the yellow roadsters are terriffic also.

This one is in Knoxville by a private owner...she won't budge on the price...asking 19,000 and it has 15,000 miles on it...It looks like it's in mint condition and she is the only owner...it's 2005...limited...is yours yellow...I've looked at all the other colors and nothing compares with the yellow in my eyes...I'm trying to sell my MR2 turbo before I travel the distance to look at it...

That might be a bit pricey for an '05 but, Yellow roadsters are rare. If you find one and don't mind spending the money, go for it. You will not regret owning a rare Xfire.

Read a posting once where a woman was complaining about the price she paid, the cup holder and the dealership service. She said when it got her down, she just pushed on the gas pedal, and it all went away.

Bliss comes in many shapes and sizes. Can't think of a better one than a yellow roadster humming along with the top down.
