China Grey - nice on a Vantage V12S but not on a Vanquish. And never with that interior. Not. For. Me.

I surmise you'd like it better if it had a black interior, which would be the conventional choice. It is different; one of the reasons it does appeal to me. I just can't abide a black interior, but maybe the Sahara Tan and CG just don't go together here. I'm still looking for the right combo....

Hi,

They didn't seem to have a photo of it with the roof down to get a real sense of the contrast.
That interior has always been unpopular in UK.
I has a Porsche with that interior and everyone said it was very 'American', most wanted to see the silver exterior and black interior.
I think it is very distinctive and would probably need to be seen in the flesh.

My '2 cents' worth,

Sean

I like China grey but the interior colour is not for me.
I'd go for satin black wheels,silver calipers and black interior with silver stitching.

Never really understood the China Grey colour - to me it just looks like grey primer with a bit of a sheen on it. With so many nice metallic greys to choose from I can't see why anyone would pick this, but each to their own I guess.

I think the interior isn't too bad, although certainly wouldn't be in my top 5 choices.

The exterior primer grey is, as others have mentioned, difficult to understand with so many great alternatives, the two together are pretty awful.

My concern would be, using the responses so far in this thread as a poll, how difficult it would be to move on...

Hey I'm all for something a bit different but I just cant get that to work.

I dont think the colour suits the shape and there is no connection between the interior and exterior colours.

Usually when we see something like this it was first registered to the factory or one of their dealers.
I dont think an end user would ever spec it that way.

Tan interior looks better on the white car.

Verdict. Volante.

Even though I always said I would never have a black car I agree. Make mine Ultramarine though please.

As long as AM persist in the black only airbag, then the wheel and at least part of the interior need to be black for me. The tan could be nice but there needs to be a contrast otherwise it's too much of one colour. I don't like white exteriors full-stop, maybe on an old classic but on moderns it just reminds me of wedding cars, leased Beemers or vans.

If you could find an interior combo of black and maybe winter wheat or similar, with a dark exterior it may be better balanced? Avoid black wheels as well, these are utterly pointless and cheapen what should be a classy GT biggrin
