I was just about to post those from Jalopnik

We need to see other colours, although its good to have a few non-studio shots of VR.

Steve, one of the crucial photos for me is the boot space which you have posted.Do you think it would take 3 large samsonite cases? It looks on a par with the E53, what do you think Steve?

Simon, it is certainly larger than the E53 in terms of boot space (570 litres compared with 460 litres) and larger than the ML too. I would say that it has plenty of space, but it will depend on the shape of your bags.

Thanks Steve, I have decided that I will go with a 35d exactly the same as this combo in Detroit. The only item missing is the running boards.
Thanks for all your help Steve

It looks like a power tail gait too - did you see those hydrolics on both side?

Can we clarify if the leather in the Detroit show car is Oyster or Beige.
I'm guessing it's Oyster/Black Interior Colour/Bamboo Wood Trim

That's definitely Oyster with Dark Bamboo Wood trim. Beige comes with a beige coloured interior.

I would be tempted by it, however I had a similar colour on my 4.8is and was always stressed by how easily it marked. Black is more restful for the detailing geeks amongst us..
