Without the yellow gauges, and with luxor beige instead of natural brown, it actually would be nice. I'm sure my wife would love it....

"1 of 1", I don't doubt that.

This is terracotta, different from natural brown. Mine has the same interior with the deviated carpet in black (two-tone). I think the only nice thing about that car is the low mileage.. Yuck.

I tend to like unusual colors for my 911s, but even I have a limit. Damn that car is bad....

I kind of like it to be honest. I've seen worse. Definitely a "cruising top-down in Miami" style of ride.

I find it very interesting, the polarizing opinions on color, with what appears to be strong gender bias. I get that most of you guys really dislike cars like this. As a female, this is one of my favorites. I'm lucky that my husband really likes lots of color as well and is a- ok with this one. I am hoping this will work to my advantage when I have my finances in order to purchase, since most guys will be off in the corner gagging at my choice, and since most 911 buyers are male, I may not have competition for it and will get a better price. ( and just so you know it's not just me with "bad taste", I showed this to all of the girls in my office and they uniformly squealed and said to get it immediately. It's a girl thing. You wouldn't understand. )

Holy Crap...that has got to be the worst. I'm sure if I showed up for our PCAR Saturday morning drives in that we would see just how fast these cars are, trying to get away from me.

In truth, I don't find the exterior color objectionable -- not quite what I would go with, but nothing wrong with it. The issue is the terracotta interior in combination with the purple, and the yellow dials to boot -- it just doesn't match. Move to a sand beige interior with white dials and it would be tasteful.

Sure, it's an odd duck, but it doesn't really "bother" me that much. Would I buy it, no. But I can see the allure of it to someone looking to be a bit more flashy.
