• Strange. I saw a dark metallic brown new new new Beetle in Switzerland the other day as I set off for a bike ride, and spent the whole ride trying to work out what thought process ends up with 'I want a dark brown Beetle' other than 'I want something that looks like a big poo on a roller skate'.

  • I think it's one of those 'retro' colours that don't really translate well from their vintage origins onto newer versions.

    The bronze colour Porsche used for the 911 is another.
