    Re: Brown TT

    It's Macadamia Metallic, not Brown.

    Not my style, but some will love it. At least it won't show the bird poop.

    Oh, and I just don't get the 'windows up/top down' thing. Get with it people. Top down, windows down.

    Re: Brown TT

    I like it, too. It reminds me of the 1970's "Sepia". It's different, anyway. No offense to anyone with a silver/grey/black car (they look fantastic), but they don't seem "special" to me because they're so common. I'm sort of an oddball with colors. My favorite color combination is Forest Green Metallic/Natural Brown.

    BTW, notice the plate, it is a car from Weissach, probably a Porsche employee

    Edit: I would rather go for a Cocoa top like on the Carrera 4s picture posted a while ago by Alex(UK) ( ) though.

    Re: Brown TT

    IMO? Ehhh..., it's okay. Brown is a strange color. Too much going on with the top down. Interior showing, wheels'color, brake calipers, occupants, all makes the brown look unimpressive and unimportant.

    A coupe might be better for brown: more of it to hold together. Face it brown is the color of dirt and other "humble" stuff: has very little "gorgeous-osity" potential: especially when diminished by non-coupe toplessness.

    Re: Brown TT

    This color is gorgeous in the sunlight, specially on a cab. not so much at night though. much respect to ppl who have the balls to stray away from the usual silver,grey,black,white colors.

    I dont believe i have ever bought a car that is not black.

    Yeah. good point. All colors have their wondrous moments in the right light.

    Not everybody wants "flash;" more subtle stuff like what happens with olive or this brown is cool too.

    Only thing you can "safely" say is these unusual colors should be seen in person and carefully considered by prospective buyers before ordering.

    Re: Brown TT

    Good color for a big blocky Bentley sedan or high end SUV like Range Rover , but not so great on an organic design like a 911 - makes it look like fossilized dinosaur dung on wheels, imo.

    Re: Brown TT

    Not a fan of Brown on cars, sports cars or any type of car but at least it probably works a little more as a cab with the contrasting tan interior. Nice car though now just make it a Black on Black TT Cab add PCCB's and you got yourself a car.

    Re: Brown TT

    Brown is fairly hideous on any car....and most other contexts as well....e.g., clothing, etc...

    Light-colored interiors just don't look very sporty...too much of the FL codger-look.....and w/cars w/extensive plastic interiors (like P) dark color interiors better camouflage the cheap buttons, etc that remain, no matter how many leather options one specs....

    Not sure what's the more dubious exterior color....brown or white....white has various negative connotations, esp in CA....

    Process of elimination....back to classic silver/blk or blk/blk....

    I like it, it's dark enough to hide the turbo's gratuitous speed holes and vents and slats but it's not black or dreary grey.
