Ugh
I find the Lambo SUV to be hideous. I'd rather roll on something like the new e63s wagon.

Really? I do like that Lambo. I also like that e63 wagon. It's sick. MB's design team is really knocking the ball out of the park the past few years.

I'd be interested in knowing the demographics of S buyers vs. Portfolio buyers. Something tells me that the white/tan car would attract the more "mature" buyer.

I'm 41 with a white Portfolio, so not sure where I fall on the maturity spectrum. My wife would say highly immature. Anyway, if what you're saying is driving a Portfolio is like an old man driving a Lincoln, I disagree.

I guess what I'm saying is that I find that older people tend to be more interested in a tan interior. Nothing wrong with that and I don't think that any FPace is an old man car. Just saying that I wonder if the color combo draws an older crowd.

I understand. I do see a lot of hate for the interior---it's a personal preference--whatever. I happen to think it is a very sharp color and it never struck me as something an AARP member with a cane and Blue Blockers would be prone to gravitate to. Again, to each their own.

Hey, well if we're talking about hate for an interior color, then my red S interior definitely takes the cake. I think it's the only color that has induced vomitting and even seizures among some forum members.
But, in all seriousness, I'm not hating on your interior color.

I would absolutely buy red interior. Do you have it posted somewhere?

Here's a pic from when I picked the car up in 2016. Not a great picture but you get the idea. Also, I'd love to see a pic of the Portfolio interior. I don't think I've actually ever seen it!

Those are sharp, for sure.

I’m 42, pasty, over-educated, and I’ve owned a portfolio (30T) for less than a week. I spec’d the exterior in caesium blue and the interior in sienna. My two prior cars were convertible Audi’s. I went F-Pace because of the handling and shoulder room. I went Portfolio over S and Prestige because of the seats — the 20 way non-sport seats sealed it. If it didn’t have those, I’d have done a Prestige with ICT rather than ICTP to keep the cost down. I also wouldn’t have ordered heads up. But the difference in price was less than $1800 after other options were added, and the seats were worth that to me.

Over here S means the very best engine and had really heavy pricetag. More or less everything else was changeable. That is the reason we have RSport 25T as I simply could not afford the 20kUSD for S engine. Sadly the wait is long, if you configure everything by yourself and have factory order made "just for you", but you will have your dream car then!

OK - I would now add one more thing, 360 camera. While we were testing options, that thing looked quite useless and cost way too much€€€, so we skipped it. After parking near curbs, I would love that one, specially when my dear wife is driving

The 20 way seats and head's up are really nice. When I drive other cars now, I find myself staring at the windshield looking for the speed reading.

When we got ours, the dealer told us white only. We would have been interested in other options, including your blue model. White has worked out fine; however.

i hope you guys know you can change the interior color & exterior color if you order one just wait 3 months & get what you want we got latte espresso brown & love it much better than the football color the portfolio comes standard with..

 

[cbrehman]

Correct. They are no longer making the 300 HP, supercharged V-6, the 35 T.

My dealer was very quick to point out this is the same engine in the base F-Type. I acted surprised and didn't also remind her it was the same engine in the XF I was trading in.

As I understand it, 4 cylinder or the S. That's it.

Yes, 4 cylinder or S, unless you can find a 35t on a lot somewhere.

One clarification, I think you made a small typo. 35t is 340hp, not 300.

Hmm, As I am closer to retirement than some others have admitted I probably fall into that category, but like Hoopics the seats were a big sell. This car is for some good long roadtrips not a daily commute, and I am not a fan of sitting in Sports seats for 6 hours (although I am sure many will tell me they are great for that - just dont suit me). The portfolio also came with all the options I really wanted, and I liked the seat colour (yep, love Marmite and warm beer as well) - although hated the idea of white exterior and that would have killed it. But I ordered a BRG, waited 3 months and with the Sienna seats I think its a fab combination. So not sure what that does for your survey....
