Yes, i love Cape York Green. My husband wanted blue or red, but I got to see it in person at the dealership. It’s grayish green in low light and almost teal in the sun. Really interesting color.

Definitely seems similar on a screen! I’m sure the difference is more apparent in person.

Didn’t realize how big new 5 is until I saw one on the road yesterday. The car has a lot of presence. The only criticism I had is the rear looking too flat for my taste, but I could live with that

I like darker greens but Cape York Green just really suits the G60. And that’s the thing, some colors look better on certain cars than others. This is one of them.

Looked at this kind of spec for non Msport package to avoid all the gloss plastic. Would love to see a real picture of this kind of spec in Cape York Green.

[QUOTE="OHV_44;30820632"]That's why my G60 turns RED.
![]() By the way: Happy wife, happy life! And it has been that way for 42 years. And it’s that reason why I have Tanzanite Blue instead of Cape York Green. Married for 38 years. My husband would not go near my Jaguar because I bought it without asking him his opinion. I’m the car person, but whatever makes him happy makes my life easier. It’s just a color. He also wanted self driving where I don’t care. I never use cruise control of any kind. I like to drive. |

The wife is very happy thankfully. The M4 comp convertible will make her happier when I get it for her. She has a 70K Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit right now which she loves.
