One of my customers mentioned that his Cayman was a dark brown metallic today. It got me thinking. It has been said before, so, let's say it again.

"Why are brown Porsche's so sexy?"

This is why.

Lest we forget that the 911 McQueen drove in the beginning of Le Mans was brown... ish.

BTW, that Cayman is a color called Macadamia Metallic.

Why does it work so well though? I mean a brown Camry is no prettier than a white one...

I dunno, but Porsche is not the only exotic to pull of Brown (though they are the most successful):

(Steve McQueen's Brown Ferrari). Hmmm... Maybe this has more to do with McQueen than the cars.

Porches? Meh.

Brown? poop stinks because it is brown.

this is why we don't have communal cars, and why we have races.

that is all.

In reply to Woody:

That's the first brown 356 that I have ever seen that I can think of. I owned a 60 BRG coupe and a cherry red 61 cabriolet. I've always thought the coupe was sexier. Its one of the few cars which I like the lines of a coupe over a convertible. The Triumph GT6/Spitfire is probably the only other one.

My Dad's X1/9 was a nice chocolate brown; suited the car very well!

Also helped disguise the rust spots that appeared a few years later.

I dunno, I never really cared for brown cars. I figured it was another 70's thing I didn't get. Kinda like Jefferson airship starcruser ect.
