Hello All,
I am pleased to inform you that I will be making a trip to pick up this 2017 paint to sample Macan GTS, which I intend to drive back to San Diego tomorrow. The car is currently showcased at the dealership and a video clip of the same is attached below. I would like to express my gratitude to the Macanforum community for extending their support & wisdom in assisting me with the selection process of potential Macans. Your support is much appreciated.
Thank you all.

The 911 looks small next to it. I really like the Lava Orange.

OP said his car is a 2017. Don’t think it was on the same ship as yours.

Thank you, I was worried that it will be too bold, I think I am getting used to it.

Feels great to know that it looks brand-new , it is 2017.

I have a red 2023 Macan. I love my color, but I also love your orange Macan

 

[VtHobbit]

Beautiful color...congratulations! I am partial to fun colors for Porsches, but the Lava Orange is really stunning. I have seen it on 911s. Enjoy!

Hey, be nice! I will admit the Orange is pretty cool!

It appears that you have gone Green . I recall discussing my pursuit of a green Macan in a previous thread here, which was had a paint-to-sample finish according to the build sheet. However, the specific shade, whether it was Python or Viper Green, remained undetermined due to the deal falling through prior to confirmation.

This is a striking vehicle indeed. A GT3 RS would undoubtedly make an impressive statement in any color, but the color red particularly complements it well.

Sorry Austin.....wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings. Your car is obviously fantastic looking too but I guess I was drawn to the unique color on that Macan! FYI back when Audi introduced the Q8 in Dragon Orange I thought it was a fantastic looking car but my wife wouln't have anything to do with an orange car! Maybe she's right?

I love it!

This is very subjective, but I prefer the front and rear design of that car better than the new model. On the new car, I'm not a fan of the rear light bar and I hate the circle in the front grille (almost like a '51 studebaker, which I've seen in history books).

 

[santastico]

I would not buy a SUV in orange myself but I have to say that Lava Orange looks a thousand times nicer than Papaya. I sae several Papaya Macan Base at my dealer as they use as loaners and the orange looks like a burnt orange with way too many sparkles on the paint. Again, it is personal preference but I think Lava is the way to go if you want something different. Now, I can’t understand why so many orange cars have red break calipers. That’s not a good color combination.

Good to see another Orange Macan.
