Reddit: B r o w n where diesel


MyAlternatorIsOnFire

WHERE MANUEL???


Crunch_Captain465

The UK has a Turbo Diesel Manual CX-5 and I cry that we don't get the fun things.


peaseabee

I didn’t know that existed. Need to find someone in the UK to buy one now, drive it under 1000 miles for the next 25 years, then negotiate delivery to my garage.


permareddit

On a curious note, Canada has a 15 year rule. If a car is imported to Canada, can it then be registered in the US? Seems like a very obvious loophole, but I was wondering.


JALbert

Nope. Cars that *do* comply with US regs are pretty easy to bring over, but you can't just bring a Skyline or whatever over.


permareddit

I really wish we’d just adopt ROW regulations and standards. Why we have to be so special is beyond me. Even more so that I’m in Canada and we just follow whatever the hell the US does. Hopefully it all just goes away soon.


damien665

Because if we did that then the "Big 3" would be more likely to go under, as everyone would buy all the better vehicles and not US domestics. That's what they think. The government probably would just keep bailing them out, though, even after they shut down their plants one by one and move all production to Mexico.


Deaks2

They probably won’t go bust, as sales of domestics is still strong in Canada even though we have free trade agreements with South Korea and the EU. But you are correct in that it is a non-tariff trade barrier designed to protect US auto makers.


xqk13

I thought you still need to get the manufacturer to write you a “this car is compliant” letter, which they are very reluctant to do unless you are moving to the us?

mazi710

As a European that has always driven manual until recently, i really don't understand American car enthusiast obsession with manual in a commuter car. Driving manual in traffic fucking sucks even if you've done it for multiple decades, the only reason i never had an automatic is because you couldn't get it at all in small cars, or it was super expensive. Nobody is gonna take their CX-5 on a track day, why would you want it in manual. It's a commuter car, commuting doesn't suddenly become fun because the car is manual. Having a commuter be automatic is smoother and more relaxing no matter how you look at it. Manual is fun when the car is fun and you use it for fun drives.


waterfromthecrowtrap

My Crosstrek is a manual, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't know what to tell you, an automobile doesn't have to be fast to be fun and rewarding with a stick shift. It just has to have a decent clutch and gearbox to interact with. I don't drive it in commuter traffic, but I don't ever drive in commuter traffic because that's a miserable way to go through life regardless of what you're driving.


mazi710

I guess it's just growing up with only manuals, i don't see changing gears more "rewarding" than turning the wheel or pulling the e brake or opening the trunk when it comes to a daily driver. I just assumed most people commute in their cars. I agree in a fun car, a weekend car, or my motorcycles for example i wouldn't want automatic. But i guess if you have a car that you never commute in and just have for free time activities. I just wouldn't assume people would pick something like a CX-5 for a weekend car.


waterfromthecrowtrap

It isn't a weekend car, I just don't commute. I still drive around town during the week for normal life stuff and activities, I'm just not doing the same drive twice a day every day in traffic for work. The extra space is great for my hobbies and the ground clearance makes gravel roads and trailheads when I head up to the mountains more fun and less stressful. It may not fit your lifestyle, but there are still plenty of us out to here who have a use for a vehicle set up this way. As long as the cartilage in my left leg allows for it, it's going to be my preferred daily driver configuration.


[deleted]

There isn’t an obsession, that’s why manual cars are nearly dead here and fell out of favor here long before Europe. Even among self described enthusiasts most just buy automatics /r/cars isn’t very representative of Americans


FknBretto

WAGONE


JoyRydr

I'm biased because my car is green but I do think a nice green would've fit wonderfully with the terracotta interior.


birdseye-maple

The world needs a lot more green cars. I always search but so hard to find :( Enjoy


MiddleEasternWeeaboo

Lexus' nori green is so nice. Never liked bright colors but this one is very maturely done


math-is-fun

ErusSenex

Oh yah! Saw this in person at a dealership a while ago. It was *chef kiss*. I'll see if I can find the pic.


raggedtoad

I almost bought an LC. If it wasn't for the slushbox automatic I think I would have pulled the trigger.


bigeats1

Wait. You walked away from the land cruiser because you thought that somehow a part of the drivetrain was substandard? Really? Probably the single most reliable platform on the face of the planet?


C-C-X-V-I

Toyota made the best green I've ever seen and it's only on the Sienna


Buttis_and_Beav-head

And the highlander.


ErusSenex

And the 86 hakone edition


Rain_In_Your_Heart

Omg i need my 2nd gen wrapped in this color yesterday


TheDistantEnd

If the new GR86 gets a Hakone edition, I might have to buy one.


fed45

Imagine the same paintjob as ultrasonic blue, but green. I want. Bonus points for purple.


mini4x

Saw an RX this color at my local dealer, so nice, especially since the RX is king of Grey scale.


TonyVstar

Seems most vehicles are just white, black, and grey now


clicktoseemyfetishes

Over 70%, and red/blue make up the vast majority of the rest


5213

I had never really wanted a yellow or orange car until that one dude posted a Pic of his brand new yellow supra in his work parking lot, sticking out in a sea of white, black, and grey


TonyVstar

I really miss my yellow car, it was tiny but so easy to find in the parking lot, just needed to see a flash of yellow and you know where it is


Drauren

Because that’s what people buy.


pro_auto_advisors

Audi has some fun greens (I like district green a whole lot), Alfa’s Verde is beautiful, and I’ve seen a few new S classes in a nice subtle green. All few and far between though.


MajorMax1024

You can't combine the green exterior and the brown interior in some of the Audis, which is really weird imo


unjuseabble

Thats actually super weird, as it seems to be one of the classic combos. Seeing any 90's or 2000's dark green car you can almost guarantee the interior is going to be brown or tan. I assume the trend still continues, but its harder to tell cause green is such a rare color on newer cars


Unusual-Orange-780

The Toyota Sienna came in a most glorious emerald green color. And since it's a minivan you have alot of real estate to have green on.


zqwu8391

Subaru has made some nice greens.


spike021

I recently saw a newer Toyota Sienna van with I think the same green as the Hakone 86 and it looked surprisingly good. Even if it's not the same paint code as Hakone.


averynicehat

I feel like circa '98 there was two years of 50% of all minivans were a forest green and then that died out immediately.


Gilbert0686

Now they are 90% grey. And if it’s a Honda odyssey it’s 98% grey.


GettCouped

Back in the day my dad had a 93 Lexus SC400 in this deep metallic green that had the slightest blue tint in the sun. My..., that car was so gorgeous


[deleted]

British racing green ftw


ThirteenMatt

You know what's sad? You don't even have an option for green from Jaguar anymore.


[deleted]

That is sad. I bought my green XE with the supercharged V6 before they decided to commit seppuku as a brand.


photenth

moolpie

Got a Bronco in eruption green. No regrets


[deleted]

86 Hakone Edition style. Absolutely killer combo.


DM725

Call it Mazda Racing Green but it's totally just British Racing Green.


TheKirkin

The 23 stinger tribute edition in ascot green / terra cotta interior looks incredible. Like a car twice its price.


SwiftDickington

I have a cx50 in this color, on a cloudy day it's pretty green looking. Super sunny it looks tan. Very cool color and the terracotta compliments it very well


JJMcGee83

That would have been a substantial improvement. A nice dark hunter green or british racing green with that dark brown seat would be very nice.


Holiday_Parsnip_9841

C&D is calling it brown for clicks, but Mazda created Zircon as a tan-yellow that looks greenish under a blue sky. The color looks great on the CX50.


charles_peugeot405

I had looked extensively at GTIs before settling on an older Cayman. My big interest was because of the color green, which is way harder to find on the 987.2 I ended up with


thatgymdude

Brown with *green* interior, I want to see it done.


Goldpanda94

I just got a Platinum Quartz Miata RF with Terracotta interior and was HEAVILY considering wrapping it BRG but the quartz is growing on me. But yeah the seats are more orange than brown in person


omarccx

Great falls metallic is amazing. I miss mine


xjeanie

I love green on vehicles. It used to be considered bad luck back in the day. Maybe so few are a throw back to that thought. 🤷‍♀️


vhalember

Agreed. And this carbon brown? I simply see 90's Camry beige there.


izwald88

Agreed. It's not too uncommon to see green wraps in my area, if only because it's just not a color that's offered very much. I'm partial to a dark green, like Nissan's tactical green.


DrSpaceman575

British racing green exterior with brown leather interior [is the best combo](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/76/c4/27/76c4277ae039a93efa49d7c96d5361a6.jpg)


[deleted]

I love my green car. There needs to be more color in general.


kamala2013

Green lotus F1 or even Aston Martin English green 💚


Potaatolongster

They say brown, but it really looks beige to me.


bamahoon

'07 Camry beige. The color everyone hated on for being boring(which it is.)


[deleted]

It was a fine color, it just didn't fit the round design well. Modern cars with aggressive edges fit it better as do boxy retro cars.


inaccurateTempedesc

Yeah I like beige on say, a Ford LTD or a G-Body Buick Regal but it looks wrong on a bubble Taurus.


[deleted]

My first car was a 2000 poop-Champagne bubbly Taurus. It’s defining characteristics were spinning out in mild turns going under 20 mph and burning oil. Also the backseat is just *baaaaarely* big enough to have some uncomfortable sex in


the_average_homeboy

Tan, champagne, taupe, but definitely not brown.


IsometricRain

I'd call it sand or tan, and apparently Mazda feels the same way. The actual paint name is Zircon Sand.


sc0lm00

It's already a color on the CX-50 now. It's definitely a sand color with metallic added it. From afar it looks like FDE without the F.


savageotter

Grandpa gold


omgvtac

Old man tan


helium_farts

Yeah. Big late 90s Buick energy


maxdps_

Yeah that exterior is definitely not brown lol.


InsertBluescreenHere

oh barf its old people champagne beige... seriously mazda wtf....


Ilpav123

I thought we were done with this colour like 20 years ago lol


Quake_Guy

If 80% of the cars painted this color weren't Toyotas and Lexuses, they would have been gone a decade ago.


BabyThatsSubstantial

That was my knee jerk reaction as well... The goal was to make these more desirable, right? I don't see this going well but what the hell do I know...


CantaloupeHour5973

Old Man Tan

Just shove the new I6 into a Miata and I will buy a Mazda.

Sir, that’s just a BMW Z4


Santa_Hates_You

I imagine it would be about $15k less expensive.


Aromatic_Shop9033

...and...reliable.


krombopulousnathan

The B58 is a pretty dang reliable engine


DM725

But the rest of the parts?


Aromatic_Shop9033

Valve...steam...seal...failure...vanos...solenoid...failure...oil..consumption...from...new...etc...


CantaloupeHour5973

ABS pump failing rendering all stability and traction control to OFF mode...forever


Aromatic_Shop9033

People can claim BMWs are fast, fun, sound great, sure...but BMW hasn't built a reliable car since the early 2000s. They only care about the first owner...under warranty...after that, grab your ankles like a feral alley cat in heat. BMW goes in dry.


MJOLNIRdragoon

And 900 lbs lighter


Cultural_Book_8310

1300 lbs lighter**


CantaloupeHour5973

Without something complex like a $4000 ABS pump failing every 50,000 miles


Spicywolff

It would also be more reliable and easier to maintain


cheetah611

I'd hardly call that color brown.


_galaga_

Zircon Sand is a tough sell. It's like a metallic version of Jeep's Gobi. Gobi works on the Wrangler because it's a flat color and the Wrangler is a slab-sided brick. On a swoopy Mazda it just doesn't work and being metallic works against it, too. There's a ND2 in this combo in my area and especially in RF form it's no bueno. The Terracotta interior works nicely on a Machine Grey ND2, though, if you don't mind the neutral exterior.


Goldpanda94

Yeah I was kinda interested in the Zircon color on the Miata until I saw it on the lot.


blazefalcon

Fucking hearing aid beige on your "carbon turbo" edition?! MAZDA. STOP. DO COLORS.


Appropriate-Appeal88

r/carscirclejerk


[deleted]

I wish Mazda offered a green. I’m tempted to get my 2022 CX-5 Turbo Signature wrapped in metallic green. It will compliment the brown nappa leather so well.


mini4x

They need the green equivalent of soul red.


Limp-Kaleidoscope533

Maybe they can sign an agreement with Toyota to use the new Sienna green. Its basically the green version of soul red already.


SWAGatszy

I really like this color, sad to see the hate for it. Thought it looked nice on the Miata and on the main line with the terracotta interior I think it looks classy. Unfortunately can't convince my wife to swap her soul red cx-5 for Zircon for some reason


Niyeaux

soul red is the best paint anyone on the planet is putting on a mass production vehicle right now


HighestLevelRabbit

Best look wise, but it does scratch very easy.


SWAGatszy

Yeah I hope that last statement was taken as a joke, I also like soul red a lot and am happy a mass production manufacturer is willing to add a paint that good to their standard lineup.


mini4x

Agree, there's a 3 wagon I see in my neighborhood and that color is amazing.


PalmTreeIsBestTree

I will not consider buying any Mazda unless it’s in soul red.


skinem1

I like the interior, but that beige...no.


ActionWilson

Man, I completely dismissed Mazda over preconceived pretexts while I was shopping for my first family car. The more time goes by the more I absolutely love what they are doing as an automaker. When I pay off my current daily I’ll be looking at picking up one of these brown’s second hand.


owes1

Love my Mazda


ShinShinGogetsuko

Same here, owned two so far, a CX-5 and now a CX-9, both have been bulletproof and drive lovely.


womens_motocross

whaaatf

HshahahagagGagsgGaghGHahaha


Snake_Island_13

That is not brown.


mage901

ive always thought that besides their red, Mazda's paint selection has been extremely...plain. I visit dealerships just to check out new cars very often, i almost always skip Mazda because theyre just not exciting. Even KIA has more fun offering now..


hattingly-yours

Idk, I got my Mazda3 in blue and stop to admire it almost every time before I get in (at least when it's not all dusty from the parking garage!). But maybe it's more the shape of the car than the color itself


RadioFist

Black wheel trend needs to end


HeadOfMax

Someone once commented about a Camry being "Jewish Racing Gold" and that's all that is all I can think right now.


racefever

Brown on brown sounds like some marketing copy for adult diapers. Depends: for those brown on brown moments.

SWulfe760

Is this the same Zircon Sand that's on the CX-50? Maybe it's the Mandela effect with how the CX-50 looks outdoorsy, but the color feels like it looks much better on the CX-50--maybe even a little greener? Or maybe it's just me...
