Looks better than I imagined. Maybe that's the best compromise?

My sister in law loved her RR Vogues in black but they were shockingly hard to keep looking clean.
That was in the UK and Europe though but dirts dirts wherever you get it: And scratches show up worse on dark colours as my brother scratched one of her brand spanking new Vogues on some barbed wire when we took it for a test run
She was not a happy vegemite!

Santorini Black now comes with a white roof as standard where as in the past it come with a black roof. Galway Green and Stornoway Grey also now come standard with a white roof. Not sure when these changes come in but certainly the case for 11MY Defenders. Rimini Red, Zermat Silver, Tamar Blue, and Izmar Blue still have matching roof colours. Keswick Green still has white roof.

That's great news. I had no idea they'd done that.

Tonga green I believe is no longer available...so at least I have a unique car now

Black or any of the darker shades absorb heat and you then need a good air-con and that means more fuel used. White is my colour for it still looks clean even when covered in crap,it also deflects heat in our hot summers.

personally I think that is rubbish!

I still get the same fuel economy as everyone else that has a puma (I have my aircon all the time in summer)

The strange thing with mine is when we were up the top end and I was running a scangauge which gave me instant and average fuel economy the fuel economy actually improved when putting the aircon on...NO JOKE! the only thing I could put it down too was that the aircon must of been drawing more air flow over the radiator...and that helped in such a hot and humid climate..

Does this mean that they will try and slug us extra, ontop of the 2 grand for metalic paint if we want to have a body coloured roof.
