I do hope they do a green of some description though.

I think colour will be the hardest thing for me, i like black but also a fan of landrovers dark green(British racing green) and like the grey from goodwood.

I have always liked Land Rovers in dark grey (save for Series) but I like white these days.

Cheers

Same here,but i like white because its much more practical,particularly when it comes to scratches,mainly from scrub.

I hate the look of a dark vehicles with scratches,been there done that.

Yes i know there are these stick on covers,but i can't be bothered with all the mucking around.They may be fine for a one of trip,but if the vehicle is often on bush tracks as ours is,it would have to have the plastic on all the time,which i don't want to do.

White with some areas blacked out looks pretty good,in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong,those darker colour do look fantastic,particularly the greys and bronzes.

When I test drove, and nearly bought a Discovery Sport 4 years ago - White was the standard colour. Any other colour cost extra - metallic paint even more so. From memory the prices ranged from $1500 to $5000 for extra colours.

So you guys wanting white - are saving money!

It's outrageous what a bit of colour tint is charged out at.

Actually from my experience you can have dark colours and not worry about scratches these days, I've got a clear wrap my on my dark rangie, you can not notice the wrap, it resists bush pin stripes extremely well, self heals light scratches, if somehow you do scratch it, you can buff it, ive not had to yet, adds to the shine of the car, doesn't fade. If somehow you rub a tree and rip the wrap, replace that section. (Added wrap to insurance so thats covered too)

Today you can have whatever colour you want and not worry about scratches, carparks, keys, rings, etc.

Agree white looks great with blacked out sections and dark tint etc

Our Mazda has a clear wrap over blue and it looks great and keeps the bird**** off the paint.
But I like our Defender in white. Very practical in hot weather.

I do remember there being a few non premium colours on the free list now.

For sure white or black.
