Default change of mind for color............white to condor gray

Just came back from dealership and saw a white s-line and honestly, i was not impressed. this car is way too big and masculine to go with white.....unlike lexus rx or infiniti fx, i feel this car doesn't go well with white so i just managed to switch the color from white to condor gray before the car went into production.


can anyone tell me if i made teh right decision?

my current color is condor gray, with black interior.....

i am not a big fan of beige interior because the leather looks really old after it wears out and gray interior looks good cept my other car is also a grey interior and it looks boring having similar color

IMHO s-line white is a definite no no unless you are a chick in your 20s or 30s

no offense to anybody with that combination but it looks way too white and soft for the style of teh car

Default we have a condor gray car and I am in love with it

we also thought about white first, but after seeing it, the metalic colors look best and I prefer lighter colors than the black & blues that seem to sell the best.

Default White makes the Q7 look larger and more ominous!

The dark colors make it blend in and look like any other SUV on the road. Exception would be red!

Default I'm biased toward darker colors as well

The funny thing about the Q7 is that it REALLY looks so different in different colors. There are a few colors that make me really not even like the design.

I think Black or Lava Grey look best. The Condor Grey looked too green to me in any light. White doesn't work in the Northeast and silver is nice, but it seems every car on the road is silver, especially german SUV's.

Our Lava Grey 2008 s-line looks incredible IMHO!
