Looks like a bad infection.

But what color would look good with that interior?

If it's silver, it's like a 1950's sci-fi comic book. Red would make it a Christmas nightmare. Even black, which I previously thought looked good with Everything, doesn't work with this.

It's just Fugly.

I can't stop looking! And it hurts. It's the yellow that's off.

Just watch. Some kid will buy it and show up on the site as a new member and post pics of it.

Would it not be interesting to see his face when he stumbled upon this thread?

There was a guy on this forum a couple of years ago who had a box with this same color interior in it and he photographed it every week and posted the pics. He sold that car and made good money on it as I recall.

Just goes to show you that some people like odd colors and will pay you a premium for it. There's just not too many of them and resale can't be a quick proposition. Buy red exterior and black interior if you want that!

Maybe he/she is an old DC9/MD80 pilot!

He was obviously colour blind. He was probably thinking it was a strange name for such a nice tone of red. Usually rarity makes something more valuable. Maybe not in this case.

I would take a black, white, or silver 986 or 996 with nephrite full leather interior. With the right exterior color it will be looked upon and coveted at concours events 10-20 years from now. Or they will continue to say what was that guy and Porsche smoking when they offered that color.

I think it's a very good looking color with a Ocean Jade Metallic exterior- it's my favorite color combinations in the late 90's/early 00's 9x6 cars.

I'd rock this every day and be a very happy cat. I might even give up one of my Boxsters for it.

Wow that is stunning! It's dated for sure, but it's nice to put yourself in the mindset of the times, no different then furniture from the 70s, it might not be cutting edge but hey I like it.

Speaking of changes of the times, race yellow looks better on the newer cars but simply by means of color I miss speed yellow.

Call me a nut but a speed yellow macan would look outstanding from behind!

It has been here for quite a while. I guess someone wanted a "one of one" collector car. Ugh...
