I am referencing the color in this ad on cars.com

I do not see any color called "Auburn" on the website, only a "Carmine Red"

Is that an oversight or is it not available? I think it is neat but I hate the all beige interior of this vehicle and the non panormaic roof.

edit: also, I have a moral objection to paying for anything from B(L)ose...

I think Auburn was replaced with Mahogany for the 2014 models..

Needsdecaf

You are correct, it was.

And no loss. Auburn was pretty awful in the flesh.

DrJay

Thanks.

I thought Auburn looked better in person than in pics, but definitely wouldn't be my first choice.

DrJay

Does anyone here have any pics of the Mahogany color on a Cayenne?

I saw a Targa that color today. Or close to it. Looked great in person.

Needsdecaf

Hasn't been built yet.

I actually saw one on the street the other day in Toronto.. should've snapped a photo. Thought it was really strange because none of them are supposed to have been built yet like what Needsdecaf said. Much, much deeper and richer brown than the Umber.

DrJay

Huh. I suppose I will have to go to the dealer and see if they have the color plate in.

Red was initially my first choice, followed by blue. But during the configuration, I discovered that auburn was as close as they had available (short of that $3000 Carmine rip-off). But online, it looked to have crossed too far over into brown territory. So I decided to take a trip and look at the color plates. Once I saw the auburn up close and personal, I quickly went with the Dark Blue Metallic.

Yes it's definitely more brown than red. Looks like root beer in person.

Needsdecaf

Auburn? Disagree. Not very brown at all.

Auburn more of a metallic orangey-red.

Red's one of those colours that different people perceive very differently in terms of intensity, even those who aren't colourblind. So I wouldn't be surprised if both of you are right :P

I'm in the Greg/XR4 camp on the brown-ness of it.

I liked it online and it was my top choice until I took the sample plate out in the sun. DBM pretty much became my default choice at that point since I didn't want another Black car and I don't like any of the other colors.

Porsche needs to steal BMW's color people. BMW has a history of some really good colors (specifically in the blues and reds). For Porsche the good color options are more of the exception than the rule to me.
