If they had done the Cross in the Orange or "Lamborghini" Green I would have been in a big dilemma. Probably the Green on balance (I love that green Ford used for the previous model Focus RS). Quite happy with the welly green of my Cross but I do think the Cross suits vibrant colours. I know the yellow is out there but I've done the yellow car thing.
Currently reading:
General Cross 0.9 TwinAir 90hp
Fifth gear (now confusingly on ITV4) have just tested the TA cross off road against a defender. It's on ITV player currently episode 2 of 2.

Thanks for the tip - worth watching.
I like both of these
Can you actually get either of those though? I'm pretty sure no, but I love them!
Probably settle on white with those two unavailable.
Still waiting..............either of those. Black seats.
Black or White would probably my choice of colour if i would buy a Cross. 
I think the "Caffe Latte" beige is ok, but the "Cappuccino" beige is not.

Yellow. Definitely (But that luminous green is fab too )
(But that luminous green is fab too )Hi - I've recently bought a 2015 twinair 0.9 cross (and loving it ). But there is a short 'lumpy' section to its revs immediately from idling. Idle is steady (at just under 1000 revs) and driving all through the gears is smooth. Its just at the initial increase in revs whilst stationary - almost feels as if it could stall, although it doesn't.
Please could anyone with similar car tell me if this normal for the twinair? Or maybe I should take it back to the dealer??

It is kind of normal - I have a 4x4 TA and you do need to get the revs above that critical point to have any torque available - particularly noticeable uphill in reverse for some reason.
May not be exact same curve for the Panda, but this is an interesting graph of TwinAir torque and power delivery... http://www.automobile-catalog.com/curve/2016/2182325/fiat_500_twinair_turbo_85.html
(and, just for comparison, for the MJ too: http://www.automobile-catalog.com/curve/2017/2259065/fiat_panda_1_3_multijet_ii_16v_95_4x4.html )

80p interest charges appeals to me. WHat is the privilege scheme about?

There's lots of info on these forums about the Privilege scheme. You can qualify for it by occupation (eg the police) or membership of, eg, the Institute of Advanced Motorists and sundry other organisations. The deal I got on my Cross 3 years ago was epic - over £3k discount and 0% interest - but the deals can vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
