The Nissan Murano:
Orange or copper has been a staple since its introduction for the 2003 model year. The current generation of Nissan’s midsize two-row crossover keeps that going with “Pacific Sunset,” a rich multilayer orange. It’s metallic and has noticeable thickness to the clear coat. In a market segment aimed directly at empty-nest Boomers and Xers, the Murano only really competes with Ford’s Edge, which has typical shades of beige, gray, and blue. The orange really stands out:
if brown is more your thing, try the Java Metallic, a bronzed gray more than brown. It still looks good and stands out from the monochrome shades of crossovers that dominate the market.

I wish the random-ass wrinkles on the body panels would fall out.

You owned that thing for like six minutes though, proving you hate fun.

On one hand I sold the orange dadmobile to buy a 500-horsepower land missile that likes to go everywhere sideways, but on the other hand you are 100% correct, because the real reason I sold it is even less fun than my usual taste in vehicular coloration.

I’m not even drunk and I have no idea what’s going on.

As Zoidberg has unkindly pointed out, I did not own it very long, but it was nice to look at while I did.
