IwannaSportSedan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have never seen a tasteful brown car. brown looks good on natural materials, like wood, with grain, and variance. My house is full of fine woodwork, and it looks very nice. brown pretty much invariably looks bad on metal surfaces as paint. I can't immediately think of an exception of a good looking brown painted machinery. It isn't as though it is cast out of real bronze or anything, and I am not so sure it would look good if it were. I have never seen an attractive BROWN car. I just haven't Just because it sells to some people, like my grandfather, who buys tan and brown cars because the gravel dust doesn't show up so obviously, because he is a pragmatist beyond any shred of anything else. Most old farmers are, and I can respect that. But that isn't an aesthetic critique, nor a matter of taste. I've never heard of an aesthetically desirable, or tasteful reason to choose a brown car. To each their own, but the BL Legacy looked bad in brown, and I liked the BL design. The BM Legacy in brown, with it's design... on one hand seems fitting, but none of it good.

MikeNH Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have never seen an attractive BROWN car. I just haven't http://www.autofiends.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/browncar.jpg Granted it's tough to make a 911 look bad. I'd love a 911 turbo. I do also like earth tones in pickups: http://image.trucktrend.com/f/32509602+w750+st0/2011-ford-f-series-super-duty-right-side-brown-truck.jpg Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them -Ronald Reagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Nope. I would trade either of those for examples in other colors... the truck is only slightly more forgivable than a brown Porsche. And I know Porsche paints cars brown now, and did in the 70s and 80s, too. Didn't like them before, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeNH Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I give up. I like browns to an extent. I'll hold off until I see this new color in person though as pictures can be tricky.

IwannaSportSedan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You don't have to hate brown. It is YOUR FREE CHOICE. (as in liberty, not free of paying the asking price.) I just don't think it is attractive painted on cars, and I stand by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeNH Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Looked brown to me? Plus, the file name is "browncar.jpg" and since the internet is never wrong, I am right by default.

EvoFire Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I liked the brown/bronze colored 4th gens..... does that make me weird? I think that color would look magnificent under the sun if you polished and waxed it nicely. Darker tones can do things that light colors just can't achieve when the car is properly taken care of.

The B4 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I just think that IWSS doesn't realize that his opinion/perception isn't everyone else's reality. Brown cars are completely unappealing to me, but I can understand that other people do like them. Direct excerpt from Dupont's 2009 color trend report: According to the 57th annual DuPont Automotive Color Popularity Report, automakers are using variations of brown with metallic accents to provide a high-end unique differentiation to their vehicle. I'm not a fan of brown, but Subaru is simply following the color trends. Whether it's the right shade of brown for those who do want it remains to be seen.
