Kinja'd!!!

Nice car, horrible color. They also have a matching Yukon XL. Obviously not factory paint, as even GM at its nadir would never have produced anything this tacky.

I have seen another car this same color recently. It was an E39 528i, complete with zebra print appliqué inside. Like I said, no taste whatsoever.

There’s an early R230 SL in my area in a similar color, with a white top. Older guy drives it.

Counterpoint: I like it. Bright colors on attractive cars without any other offensive mods or super blingy wheels? Totally approve

This color has it’s place, like on a Ford Festiva or other cheap car. It just seems a little out of place here IMHO.

I normally pass by these cars at 2 something in the morning so I never noticed the yellow until today. Yeah, no...

On a different note, words cannot describe how mean XLR’s look in black.

Yep, sports cars are supposed to be flashy. The color is fine. Not a fan of the pinstriping, but that’s a different issue.

Bright colors have a place on the high end too. Whether the XLR is that place is debatable.

They do have graphics, but in an awesome display of foresight they were dealer installed only. So if you didn’t want them, you didn’t have to get them.

that is what I was thinking - I actually love that color, (BMW, Porsche, Subaru, Ford Focus, etc) but it doesn’t suit that Cadi quite as well.

Probably. It’s one of the few edgy Cadillacs that I actually like, but then again, I like the styling of my Mazda5 and prefer the targa to a regular 911 so my views on styling may be suspect...

Anyone who says the targa 911 isn’t the best 911 is wrong.
