That poor bastard's gonna wake up every morning for the next two years saying: "****, I could've had white!"

Just kidding. That color doesn't appeal to me at all.

IMO that colour just doesn't seem to work on the Turbo.

I had a Maraschino Cherry '88 944 Turbo, nice colour and much darker than Carmen Red.

Not feeling the maroon, and the wood wheel is a disgrace that has to go.

The Carmon(a) Red is a bit too purple for me. I like the old Arena Red much better. The wood wheel might work, if there is additional matching wood tastefully done in the interior. By itself, it would be out of place.

wait till he tries to get rid of it

A local dealer had an orient red 996 C4S in stock that was ordered by a customer and when it came in the customer freaked and wouldn't take.
Dealer unloaded it for 10K off of sticker.

I dunno, I kind of like it, reminds me of Arena, would have to see it in person though.
Fail on the wood wheel though.

Carmon red looked good on the 993, with its more classic lines. The new and more contemporary looking 911's (996 and 997) looks odd in Carmon red.
Here's an old Porsche ad to remind you of how gorgeous the 993 really is:

(Although, the car pictured could be Arena red, I can't really tell the difference).

Oh Tad, here's a better picture of Chris "cars should look like crap" Bangle
