I'm fine with gold or bronze colour, but when the colour goes into proper brown, then count me out.
As it happens, I have an Audi A4 Avant parked out front, dark metallic brown with cream interior; lovely car, really nice to drive, etc, and the guy I picked it up from was a Mr Brown!
I wouldn't have it in that colour, though, unless it was given to me, in which case I might be able to justify a respray, or possibly a different colour vinyl wrap to cover it up.

I drove one of these for a while, till I blew the rings out the piston getting it off the clock on the motorway. Turd clubman estate.

I then 'upgraded' to another classic brown car .
Talbot Sunbeam 1.0 Ls the Ls stood for load of S***t
It had a driveshaft resonance that meant 55 - 60 was a no go speed and you either had to be faster or slower.

Lovely little all alloy hillman imp engine based on the coventry climax lump

I wasn't allowed the brown Civic! I'd have bought it in a flash...not a new one due to resale problems, but second hand would be fine!

Not my choice though, its my wife's car!

Like a "committed" brown car. Not sure about the beigy ones. Or almost half the colour pallet for the current yeti outdoor. New rule of thumb.....never buy a car the same colour as a pair of Millets trousers...

Well that pretty much sums up my view of the Bugatti. Still, I suppose it can be polished.

I had one of these in brown but with the stag alloys when I passed my test.

2.5 straight six, replaced the twin SU carbs with some webber 40's, drank fuel and wheelspun in 3rd, great car.

Sadly it rot away
