Default Would you ever buy a brown car?!

Saw this post today and wondering if any of you lot would ever buy a brown car?

Brown cars

Some of the cars look alrite in the photos. But think most normal cars wouldn't look good.

Focus RS in brown could be interesting! Any photoshop geeks out there?

Ive seen that colour mini before. That picture does it no favours as it looks quite nice in the flesh.

No brown cars are wrong driving one is against nature and all that is good in the world I would rather have sex with road kill than drive a brown-un.

Why not? Looks smart on a 'tina



And brown/gold cars have lower values (for some reason) so they're cheaper to buy

depends on the car IMHO. i'd have that R8 in a second. my focus daily needs a paint and i am considering doing it metallic brown with my gold rl7's and i think it will look mint. would also look good euro look.
