F11 Launch Day

Yesterday was the F11 launch day (in the UK at least) so I was invited to the dealer to take a look. No test drives, though. Test drives will start later in the week.

I thought the F11 looked even better in the metal than it did in the previously released press pictures. My first impressions were that I would definately take it over the F10, principally because the rear of the car flows better as a design. My initial enthusism waned just a little on looking more closely at the F10, which is still a very handsome car. All things considered (test drive pending), I plan to order an F11 soon because I get all the practicality while gaining on the looks. Some pictures are attached. Sorry - they were taken from an iPhone.

On other note, I was sold on Imperial Blue from various press pictures. Yesterday I saw an F10 at in Imperial Blue at another dealer for the first time, and I'm not so sure now. It was one of those rare sunny days and in good light it looks very nice indeed. However, it looks black (and not a very nice black at that) whenever its in the shade. You would have to look very closely to tell it's blue. I'm more inclined to go for Sophisto Grey now.
