Yas Marina Blue, Austin Yellow and Sakhir Orange. People complained.

…and the cycle continues.

But Valencia Orange for the 1M was fairly well received.

Valencia Orange was beautiful in the flesh...but then you started seeing it on 228i variants and it wasn't as cool....

I lived in a small town in northern Indiana when the 1M was launched, and I had a 135 at the time - there was a guy who I would see around town with a VO 1M and it was just awesome.

I definitely fall into that bucket - BUT I love bright color options.

Carrara white is a must on the 718 Boxster

Is this bottom optional piece presumed to be body matched, or CF?

Let's assume that it will be more discreet on Black Sapphire Metallic.

Yeah that side flap looks flimsy and boy racer. Another reason to go black

Compare with the GT4 RS splitter and winglets (I know - involving Porsche, again...):

Right on, thanks!

I wonder if they'll be an exterior CF package like the m3 has?

It is the same thing every time.

M2C launch everyone complained about Hockeheim Silver and Sunset Orange. "Hockenheim is boring"..."how could they replace Mineral Grey with Sunset Orange"?

I bet iND can save it

Just reveal it already. Ridiculous

ronin13013 · 10-05-2022, 05:41 PM

the rear end will be fine once seen in proportion. iND is always a good thing!

So you liked it when you saw it?

ronin13013 · 10-05-2022, 05:45 PM

I've already brainwashed myself. It will be so.

Mirrors still blue. Mildly strange.

giacMeister · 10-05-2022, 06:09 PM

It's an assumption for a reason, more or less a cheeky joke. You were informed by who? Is it credible? Is there any solid proof if you're saying I'm wrong? Link the data to back it up.

They should get in trouble. This car is HATED on reddit! I kind of want it out of spite..

Can someone please close the car door so it doesn't look like it has been in a wreck? Thank you.

Reddit is a bunch of kids looking for anything and everything to hate on. Don't even waste your time.
