Re: Facelift in Macadamia - classy!
My FL on order is macadamia with cocoa interior! And I resent being called a Volvo driving vest wearer :-)
I was initial set on the Basalt Black, but after thinking long and hard about it I wanted a colour that would discreetly stand out. GF initially suggested it and when I thought about it it was a great idea. You don't see many brown cars anymore and I fancied being at the fore-front of retro trend setting :-) What better way to make that statement than with a brown Porsche! I'll post pics when its delivered in Nov.

Re: Facelift in Macadamia - classy!
I think it looks rich and classy, the round of pictures Misha posted won me over.... It's like Atlas's distant cousin..
But the other comment was correct... Silver hides dirt, black shows dirt, but brown BECOMES dirt when it's dirty... Even a bit dusty, you'd lose the pretty picture.
But all shine'd up and posed like those photos, I find it to be a wonderful change of pace...

Maybe, but in a world full of silver Porsches a 911 in Macadamia makes a refreshing change.
You know what? As long as the interior stays sensible (i.e. probably black?) I guess the Mac would have some lasting classic good looks.
Boooooooooo...... Substitute "sensible" for "boring"
... I love tan or the cocoa idea...
I can't remember ever SEEING a brown car with a black interior, of any make or country of origin... I don't think it works whatsoever from a compatibility standpoint... Like wearing black shoes with brown pants, you'll be panned on Entertainment Tonight by that Ko-Jo dude...

Steve McQueen's 911 in the movie Le Mans was grey. I believe it was a non-metallic 'slate' grey.
It was looong time ago , in my memory it's metalic brown , but I can be wrong . DVD copy anyone ??
ridleyguy you are right
and thanks to you I found this article http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=126937 and 'you tube' video clip of first 7 min. of the film which I have't seen since '71. Thank you . (911 looks a bit 'brownish' as you said 'slate' grey)
