I actually like the paint color. I wouldn't order it with the wheels painted to match the body, but I like it overall.

I dunno, I kinda like it too but I think its the matched wheels that make it work for me (and I usually don't care for painted wheels).

I've actually seen that color on a 13 GTS with standard rims. It was in a showroom and quite frankly I liked it because it wasn't another brick in the wall. But, I buy unique unusal cars/SUVs so I am biased.

Well, unique on a car perhaps. But that color is not unusual in a baby diaper.

I feel like it would look more cohesive if the trim was aluminum and not black.. Considering the grill color.

This is Nordic Gold, one of the launch color when Cayenne GTS first came out.

I had precisely the same reaction. IIRC, that color was popular on AM Gremlins too.

The color is awesome!
It's the add ons that make it look bad. The silver grill and color matched wheels, etc!
Just not the right combination of tid bits.

A bit too much orange in that Gold for me.

Not my first choice but overall I don't think it looks too bad, could due with out the painted wheels though.
