I've seen the third generation Q and the second generation G in this color, but this is the first I've seen of the J in this color.

I will reserve judgment until I see it in person - but I do like it in these pictures.

That might have been a new color for 97. I have only sen 2 or 3 in that color on ebay in the past 6 months. Dont know if I like it or not.

It's beautiful in person.

I've seen one or 2 J's in that color and several 2nd gen Q's (97-01)... It's a popular color here in AZ.

i prefer black, but that color is still sharp. will hide scratches and swirl marks a world better than black, so its a good alternative. I think the only interior color is brown/tan with that exterior color...thats what turned me off of it.

You know, black looks great on hearses and state department limousines, but it is boring on real cars. There are bery few black Ferraris because it is a dull color (or more accurately, the absolute lack thereof) and Ferraris are not dull cars. The only thing more boring is a black interior.__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t

Hmmmm.

I think almost ANY car looks better in black. Of course, in AZ there are very few black (or dark colored) vehicles....

My favorite color on a car is a really deep, dark red (like burgundy berry, like my car is)....... I was really lucky to find my Q in this color...... She looks absolutely stunning after a wash/wax......

Did anyone notice that the car didn't have the "J30" badge on the trunk lid? Wonder why.... Owner removed it... wreck?

Good pick up Carlos, you know I had looked at the picture looking for the t emblem, but figured it just wasnt visible - but youre right it seems it isnt there. That is interseting.

I assumed it wasnt a t b/c of the wheels and b/c it wasnt mentioned (and it would probably be a selling point).

whoa...i went back to those pics to see about the emblems, when i looked at the engine pics....

i am pretty sure my (94) throttle cover plate doesnt have that extra cutout with the round valve thingie...what is that??

anyone else have that on their J? looks like a big fuel pressure regulator or EGR valve...i cant imagine what that is...maybe some OBD-II thing? anyone know?

Yep - I have seen several here in Fresno, California. I believe it was available on the last 3 years of production. I call it light cellery, and I have only seen it with a very light creamy leather interior.

I have a t model and they sometimes fall off. I have lost mine twice, once to the bonding tape wearing off and the other from kids pulling it off.

Also, this color is pretty popular in Texas. There are alot of these pea green J's in Dallas. The color is a little weird but i have to say it is a nice color. Eye catching even.

My J is burgundy and I hate the color. Shows scratches and swirl marks easily. I hadn't owned a burgundy car before but since I have I won't own another one. Burgundy color that is.
