The Kona is nice; I did have one brown car but not as nice as that. .
Funny how some cars look good in a particular color but others don't.
Mine would look hideous in yellow but I'd buy a yellow Corvette.

Years ago I bought modest/low priced used cars and color was secondary.

like burgundy. For me, this is car #25 and 7 of them have been blue
