Just ordered...
A Vapour Gray with charcoal interior & burl wood SC. I ordered it with the heated steering wheel. I decided against the intelligent cruise control, mainly because I have that option on my Infiniti and I rarely use it.
I'm ecstatic! I can't wait! I want it NOW. LOL
I strongly considered getting an Ebony one. And who knows, I may change my mind yet. The salesman said I had some time before the car is actually made. I love the look of a black car but sure hate keeping it clean.

Congrats! Have any indication as to how long you have to wait or delivery? I opted for ebony and my first 2 times washing it I wanted to cry. Figured out that A. I'm an idiot and can't use a real chamois. B. I washed it in the direct sun so it would dry and leave water spots before I could actually dry it. Then I found a synthetic chamois (can't remember the name of it) and man what a difference it made. Not a single water spot (and I've even washed it at night). So don't keeping it clean sway your decision. Will it be garage kept?
Good luck,
Tommie

I've had a few black cars (including my current Mustang,) and each time I buy a new car I swear I'll never buy another black one again. Problem is, they look sooooo good when they're clean. Was it the Absorber? It's a synthetic chamois and I've head the same one for years and it has never failed me. I also use a California Water Blade before using the chamois. I always use a wool wash mit. Lately, I've even resorted to getting out the shop vac and blow drying it. It takes a long time but it's almost flawless when I'm done. As far as washing in the sun... I've recently moved to Portland, OR and the sun doesn't shine here much. So I find myself washing my cars when it's cloudy outside. Not a bad thing, but I sure do miss the sun!! LOL
Yes, the Jag will always be garaged when at home.
