What do you think of the color of this car? Is it appropriate for a 50 something (clue my two boys like it...that worries me), If I buy it....I am stuck with it for a VERY long time. They have a white one, but it looks bland and does not show the lines of the car well, The best color I have seen is a grey colour. Its used, and an uncommon body style for this region, so finding one in the grey or silver (the next best colour IMHO) may be a long wait.

If you are buying a station wagon, and it doesn't have imitation wood paneling down the sides, it is the wrong cclour (or color as we say here I the US). YW
I'd go with grey. Looks good dirty, white hides dirt well too. I painted a CJ5 jeep about that color in highschool, showed every bit of dirt, water streaks, dust etc.

I don't know what age has to do with color of a car but I think the better question would be is that color appropriate for a male. I'm not sure
Go with white. If the windows aren't tinted on the white car, tint them. I think the darker windows helps offset the blandness of a white car pretty well.
Great looking car though but I know I could never deal with a color long term that I wasn't thrilled with in the first place.

Great color for a Buick.
Grey Metallic, Dark Grey Metallic for a BMW.Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

From what I am seeing most of the used cars on the lots come from lease turn ins and demos.
White is the most common colour (ahem) color, followed by black, that would seem to be about 50% of them. White is looking like the safe choice (probably why its the most common)...I agree the greys and silvers look the best, they stand out without looking garish like this blue does, this blue one is the only one I have seen that is optioned out the way I want. Ill keep looking.Please record my time/reps if I pass out

Obviously it is very subjective. I think the blue one is fine. I usually like black or white best....I don't like gray at all...to me it is completely dull and boring.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I too question what age has to with it? I think it's a fine color for an estate car.

the colour of the car does not matter
the arm hanging out the window mattersI don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

So is the color blue gay now? Asking for a friend...
I'm not a blue car kinda guy for the most part but I parked next to one of these not long ago and I was like damn...wish I hadn't used up all my mid life crisis toys! With the black accents all around it made this car damn cool...

I have no problem with that color. My current car is blue, albeit much darker.

My last six cars have either been gray/silver or black/blacker. I have unintentionally alternated the colors. The black looks awesome when clean and the silver/gray never looks dirty. Definatly a personal choice.

I've always had either black or grey cars, but recently fancied a change. I got a Cesium?! Blue Jaguar and I love it. Colour is a personal thing, just go with what you like.
Nice choice of car by the way.Last edited by dazlittle; 07-26-2018 at 07:17 AM.

BMWs I like in grey or black.
Mercedes white or silver.
Audi red or blue, some greens.
That said, I like that blue... it's similar to my wife's Audi.
I wouldn't worry about it if you like the rest of the car.
Wife's last car was a 2018 F-Pace diesel. Jag bought it back as a lemon.i have the F-PACE,
