I finally figured out why Lava Red was cancelled

[vvv90]

Well, I was actually kicking around getting Lava Red on a C a year ago. I thought it would look cool and in pics it does.


But I gotta admit I saw one in person for the first time from about 20-30 feet away.

IT LOOKS BROWN!

And I'm not color blind at all....Sadly, It looked brown.

If that's the case I know why it got nixxed.

They still make brown cars? Hmm. I've never even seen a picture of a red C, let along Lava Red.

I know, like I said, it looks GREAT in pics. Maybe the sun wasn't hitting it like in that thread but I gotta tell you when I first looked at it I was like HOLY SCHNIKES, why did that dude paint his 300 brown. (If had 22's, I thought it was custom)

NOPE, it was the lava red I realized...Not custom.

I didn't want to be the one to say this... but maybe you're just a racist. There. I said it. I feel better getting that off my chest.

Thanks for the link, I had just done a search myself. To be honest, I don't think even the pics look all that nice. There's something about earth tones and the 300C... they just don't match. I really can't envision any other colors on it other than the stock black, blue, silver, and white. All the other colors seem strange to see on such a car.

I'm not racist.....I hate everyone equally.

My dad picked up an 85 airbag Tempo in 88 at the Govt. auction. It was poo poo brown, shaped like a terd but it ran like stink for many years, my younger brother drove it to UVA for 4 years and it may still be running.

Reminds me of my buddies **** brown 86 Mercury Topaz that he drove all through college. What a POS. But it did it's job.

I thought that the Deep Lava Red would be a great color, till I saw one for real. I was not at all impressed, but for those who like it, more power to them.
When I first heard that the color had been discontinued, I thought, "fine, now how about the Satin Jade." Neither one of those colors ever inpressed me, at least not in a positive way.

Agreed, but I would also have to add that magnesium color...just too blah.
