5 TITANIUMS

I'm suprised by that. Would have though there would be more reds. Makes me more unique then I guess

When you say 'finalise spec', could you specify anything other than just colour, sunroof, sat nav, and leather ?

By the way which dealer in Surrey do you use ?
I go to the one in Milford.

Rotorist,

If you ordered leather did you clarify the heating etc add-ons situation?

Funny ain't it then it must be an area thing cos my local people have done exactly the opposite.

8 Cars ordered

2 Titanium
0 Black
0 Silver
6 Red (Including mine)

All Titanium have gone for the cloth and one person ordered a 190ps model (Cheapskate) :D

All others were Red and all red's were with leather option.

Any reds not go for the red/ black interior. I am seriously thinking about black only (but hopefully with red inserts in the doors only) but with sunroof to lighten up. I think that the red/ black seats looks a bit naff and may be difficult to re-sell, not everyones taste, a bit bold perhaps.

I'm not sure where that leaves my Dealer.

He has one order and it's mine!!

Made my mind up at last. RED with RED/BLACK Leather.....

Rock on Rael, it's the signature colour anyway!!!

Cheers

I instinctively went for red straight away, and I've had plenty of cars with different colours. The red really suits the RX


As I said somewhere before, there are few red cars on the road and in my opinion will make what is a fantastic looking car look even better.

Can't wait.

Sorry, forgot to say, my dealer has three orders,

One blue ( unlucky for him, I'll get mine first)
One silver ( This purchaser apparently wants the demo car???, no idea what that is all about, probably wants to save money)

One red 240 with red and black leather - Thats my bad boy.

So looks like I'll get mine at launch. Touch wood.

I have ordered red with black leather interior.

Black/red leather not really my cup of tea.

I think the light headlining and aluminium trim on the transmission tunnel should stop it all looking too gloomy.

Cheers

jimbobjoe,

Yup Milford also, I guessed that was your red on order.

As far as other items discussed it was just the BHP, sunroof, sat. nav. and leather as factory fit.

However I did discuss upon its arrival having the leather changed to tan inserts and the windows tinted (slightly). Just thoughts at the moment!

rael,

The leather was confirmed with heated, electric seats.

Yeah, 2 up for Milford !!

I popped in this morning to ask about whether I could have an all black steering wheel with the 2-tone red interior.

They didn't know, but will ask about it for me.

I also asked about the leather seats being heated/electric. The guy I spoke to didn't know but said he'd contact head office to check.

Looks like you beat me to it though !!

Oh, and they have just received the new brochure. The red looks fantastic. A dark but shiny blood red.

Presumanbly the same red as in the earlier 'press release' information already made available and must say looked very rich. However, actual photos do not quite back that up.

Good news on the leather.
