You said she wanted a sports car, yet she ended up with a tank, I like the colour, some matt black viper strips and anthracite wheels would set it off a treat.

At first I was thinking you were just using the "bought it for my finance" as an excuse to buy a green camaro......but then I realized in the one pic how close she parked to the white line so realized it must be for the lady..... j/k! sort of!

I like the color, just dont think it is a particularly V6 color. You need to maintain a low profile with a V6 and this might just attract people in Challengers and Mustangs racing from the stoplight.

FYI for your original post, it's a 3.6L V6, not a 3.2

It's not terribly slow. The stigma attached to the V6 muscle cars really hurts them a lot. It used to be that you'd see a V6 Stang or Maro and know it was dogshit slow. They're no screamers nowadays, but they're on a whole different level than they used to be.

I agree about the matte black. That would be a nice accent treatment for this color.

just for reference, if i bought a car for my girl it would look something like this:

PS- anyone can get a car, then the BANK comes and takes it away when you can't pay for it... The dealership gets their $$$... Sorry but the color is way to loud for a V6... Personally U should be driving that, in that color but a SS and she should have the 328i....

The color definitely attracts attention.
