If it had been offered like that ^^^ out of the factory, I would have opted for it 100%, in fact if we were allowed to pick an Individual color, I would have likely paid extra for it. But then again, this comes from someone that is orange crazy, I nearly bought my RS 4 in Papaya Orange, and then was strongly considering Glut Orange (Lambo Murcielago color), but somehow opted at the end for the 'safer' Sprint Blue. Been itching for a 'properly orange' car ever since, hope it is not a sign of forthcoming midlife crisis 
Personally, I think the lines and overall character of the 1M show better with the bolder orange but that's just me. |
Very well said. It is very personal taste especially when it comes to strong colors like this. Contrasting your experience, I was feeling good about the M3 GTS color in pictures till I saw one in person and I had a chance to walk around quite a bit; the same happened with a Audi TT. Now this car I felt "overdone" while you probably felt like love at first sight.
