Yup me too, I like the creamy color. You mentioned a metallic brown vette, I love that color. You know what it goes good with? Cream. Hmmmm.....

I think white cars are faster too.

Are the XK's more long, sleek, and curvy than most other sporty cars, yes. More so the X100, but the X150 as well. That's what I like about them. A lot of guys refer to their cars with female pronouns, I think it is fine if they look the part a bit. So the car looks more feminine than an aggressive looking Mustang, I don't think the body style says anything about the cars overall performance, or what the driver can do with it.

Checking a 2014 white on black for sale, still looks very sporty to me.
I wonder if this effect value..............

Reminds me of my 2000 Honda S2000 I bought new. It was white on red. It set in the dealer's showroom floor for over 10 months, and every morning driving to my office, I would pass it by and peeked thru the window - they could not get rid of it , until I bought it in the middle of a December snow storm.
These days, this color combo is considered top choice and most sought after in the used S2000 world. Go figure.....

Not even remotely feminine in my opinion, sounds like those people have some insecurities to work through lol.

My other Jag is White. Both must be female because they're too beautiful to be male.

My XJ is white also, and white usually looks good on a large 4 door sedan. It also looks good on the XX/XKR coupe. However on the vert. it looks different somehow.............

Both body styles have their appeal, however, IMO the coupe version looks a little bit more "Agressive" in all colors. I'm sure Others May disagree.

Women have highjacked all the good colors away from us.
We need to claim them all back, except purple, they can keep that one, and lets give them green and brown too.

What does the color of your car say about you?

Ugh. One or the other, not both. And not on the interior.

I find it interesting that folks are trying to justify or defend their cars here. If you like your color choice then enjoy it.

No justification is necessary when the reason for ownership is obvious.

Too many choices to defend Jagtoes. Go ahead and pick a color... any color.
A whole fleet of boats Cee Jay!

These are all grocery getters so the color doesn't matter. They all look good to the owners .
