    I don't think that's the same Latte we get here.

    Here are some pics. The first one is probably the most accurate depiction of "live" colour (at least on my PC monitor). There is a tendency for the photos to depict a lighter shade than the real life shade, which I think might be similar to the effect in livingthedream's pictures.

    I am thrilled with the Latte, so glad we chose this over the Anthracite. The seat heaters are magic - I didn't quite realise how good they would feel, even in Melbourne today where it wasn't really cold.

    Everyone who has sat in them (and I've done a few k's today ) has enjoyed them immensely.

    Engine is very tight, brakes are not run in yet, but I just can't stop smiling while driving around

      Black or whatever you want to call it all the way. I'm not even the biggest fan of tan leather in Ferraris.
      White leather should only ever be in a Lambourghini Countache.

        Thanks Gerhard. Your pics seem to give a very good real-life effect of the Latte. Thanks heaps. Latte seems to be the same colour as my soft leather handbag!

                Thnaks Gerhard. Great photos. What I also like about the Latte colour is the light coloured headlining which seems to brighten up the interior a great deal also.

                  Yep, it certainly does that. I've had a few comments as to how "big" the car is inside. It generates zero claustrophobia.

                        Gee, United Grey would look nice with latte too - are you SURE you've made the right choice?

                            Oh stop it! Yes, I'm very indecisive. If it takes 4 mths to arrive after I've ordered it, I will probably be over it!

                                With a 4 month lead time there is NO chance that you won't have changed your mind by the time you get the car!

                                Good thing is you will love it anyway

                                Cheers
