I love Yellow cars but realise they aren't for everyone. Some of the dealers just about gave away pre-FL yellow RS sedans about 6 months after I bought my Elegance.

I'd go either race blue or white as dark colours like black or grey don't appeal to me (but plenty out there that do like them) and dark colours + summer = fail.

I could have got a fantastic deal on a black Elegance with sunroof but the colour killed it for me.

leave out the sunroof - too expensive & hot over summer.

i'd even be inclined to drop the leather unless you know the car will be parked in the shade (my girls hate the leather in our calais as it burns the backs of their legs).

Xenon headlights & front park sensors would be my pick but I'm not sure what options are available these days AS SKODA'S WEBSITE IS STILL OUT OF DATE!!!!

Pre FL = pre face lift.... I have been meaning to ask but no need now!!

I may be biased but I still think Race Blue is the pick of the bunch and probably better resale if that is a consideration. I am not a big yellow fan although I think either white or grey could be a huge hit if you could dish out to paint your rims gloss black.

true that - yellow is nice to look at, but not for the faint-hearted!!
7 out of 10 ppl will say "that looks nice". and only 1 out of 10 will actually buy a yellow one!

my dealer, Colin, is itching to get a yellow as a floor stock model, but he knows they're hard to sell. he loves the color to death, but selling it......

with regards to variants.....
one with all the bells & whitles (sunroof, leather, satnav etc) would b good, and another with no options at all. that way the customer can compare between the two. also 1 petrol & 1 diesel. i remember i had to wait a couple of months before i could testdrive a petrol dsg model. they had diesels, but none in petrol variant.
