Has anyone actually seen the new '08 color Macadamia Metallic? I had ordered a '08 C2S back early April. Basalt Black/sand beige with deviated carpet. When they posted the new '08 TT on the web with that color, I liked the looks of it. I e-mailed the company to find out the name of the new color, and if it could be ordered on any car. Answer: Macadamia Metallic, and on any car. So I had the dealer change my order. (Yes, sight unseen!) Kept the sand beige/deviated carpet. It's scheduled to arrive in a couple weeks and I'm getting quite nervous about the color. Please tell me it's Beautiful and Gorgeous. If not, break it to me gently. Thanks.

 

Even if you post the question here, it'll still be a brown Porsche.

 

I asked the question because I had been thinking about cancelling my order and buying both an Audi RS4 and an A3, but I've since decided that buying just the one Porsche would be a much more prudent and enjoyable purchase, even in "brown."

 

Brown is a beautiful color for a classic 911 but I'm not so sure it would look as good on a modern car.

 

If it's the same tone of brown showed on the new Turbo Cabrio than it's fantastic!

 

I think it is and if that makes you feel better about yr order the whole press abroad was unanimously delighted by the color. They said it looked like candied chesnut.

 

yea, the 911 from super troopers (your avatar) was brown and it looked good!

 

I had a Carrera S already....

Relax, man, I was just giving you a hard time. To each his own - personally, I would NEVER buy a brown sports car whether it was a 911, an Enzo, etc.

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, when you see the color you make the choice. I have never seen it in person so I really can't comment. However it could affect the resale value...

 

Sorry!! Guess I'm a little sensitive, this being my first Porsche, and the nail-biting wait for the next two weeks. Actually, I was just looking for people who have already seen the new Macadamia Metallic, and can give us an idea of how it looks up close and personal.

 

My biggest point was that I encourage you to REALLY consider how long you'll keep the car when you choose a color. While Macadamia might be new and have a cool name, the bottom line is that it will murder resale unless someone is very specifically hunting for that color. My next Porsche will be VERY customized, but I go into it understanding that I will keep a lot longer than my last one.

Good luck and let us know what you end up deciding!

 

hmm.. very brown.....often pics not too accurate... imo a dark black-coffee color with heavy metallic flake would do the trick... (malachite green next to it?)

Looks great. Everybody seems to have gray. Stick with it.

 

I saw the macadamia brown 997 in the photo at Pioneer Porsche, San Diego just yesterday. The metallic flakes in the paint are very pronounced, similar to metallic finish on the Azurro Blue of the Club Coupes. It looks very rich and dynamic. The metal flecks appear to be much bigger than in my Atlas Gray paint. There is gold and nutmeg in it. It kinda' reminds me of a more metallic version of Togo Brown, only slightly lighter. A&W Root Beer comes to mind. Its deep and rich for sure. I suspect that Natural Brown will be the best interior choice with the color. It's still a brown Porsche, not my choice, but different and likely a tough resale.

 

Looks like a UPS Truck, especially if those wheels are brown as well!
