Terrible American Colour Combos!

ajfoggy · 03-15-2017, 03:58 PM

Is it me or do Americans have some really terrible taste when choosing car colour combos?

Obviously some are nice but there are some really horrible looking cars as well!

I guess wooden body panels say it all!!

For example!!

Words omitted from the American dictionary;

Taste
Class
Style
Subtlety
Humility

'mericans are mostly stupid and about 20 years behind the Western world in terms of fashion and taste.

And have just gone back about 100 years in the democracy area too.

Lobb, it looks like some fucker has sawn his legs off.

Don't criticise our American friends over colour!

Someone was showing off their M3 in an individual colour, when I pointed out that they had spent thousands on what was still essentially a grey car no matter what you called it, they and their forum friends were not happy with me!

TouringPleb · 03-15-2017, 06:56 PM

And there's a lot of colours and combinations available in Europe we don't see in the U.K.

When I was a service advisor we had in a metallic brown E39 with green cloth seats with 3 spoke genuine BMW alloys!

This is fairly hideous.....

Although I think this may win a prize of some sort, possibly for colo(u)r blindness;

You could have chosen a much better example. Ok not the best match of interior to exterior colour, but still classy IMO

ajfoggy · 03-16-2017, 10:39 AM

oh there are a lot worse, that is just the last one i happened to see, the interior is terrible...

philiper1 · 03-16-2017, 10:40 AM

another beautiful example

Arrrgh! The only thing missing is the three "M Sport" strips on the grill. Truly awful.
