Default I was wrong about lava...

I admittedly have been very critical of Lava Orange in the past. However, I've had a friend's 2016 Lava GT3 at my house for a couple weeks until he can come into town and pick it up. After seeing it in different lights, I think it's a fantastic color. Yes, there are a few occasions where it's a bit salmony, but in general (90%+ of the time) it has an amazing presence. Maybe it just looks better on the regular GT3, but I am really converted on the color. Here are a couple shots of it next to my riviera blue car. Also gives a great perspective on the silver vs. black LED. Oh - and my poor Macan Turbo must be terrified staring these two beasts in the eyes.

Honestly, the pics are a pretty fair representation of what the car looked like when I took the pics. There are a few times it looks a little dull but overall it's fabulous.

And yeah. I guess riviera is OK ;-)

Riviera is awesome. As far as LO, it's one of those colours difficult to appreciate in pics, but in person I like it.

Dare I say it, IMO LO looks nicer on a GT3 than on an RS. Why is that?

Btw, I'm going to try to make it down to amp on Monday but may not be able to bring my GT3.

lava with the black wheels looks great. i think its a color that can look great with the right options - i saw it on a targa w/ silver wheels and though blah. this looks pretty sharp w/ black wheels and lights.
also love your riviera!

Agreed! LO seems to actually look better on the GT3 than the RS.
