BUT It has a nasty resale value
Same with green and blue
My friend who works at Lexus said his manager took off 4k on this trade in because the car was green!
The orange/copper is PIMP though!

Damn, I wish my car was IMOLA. Can't wait to see it in person, but I have always thought that it looked better than any other bronze that other manufacturer's have (like the 350z that looks horrible in their bronze).

Repainting the S Hurt the Resale Value on the Green S.

Sometimes Color hurts resale but not much on a Factory Painted S2000 IMHO.

Mods and/or a crappy repaint will hurt trade in value the most at a dealership.

A Nice Custom Paint Job will add Value, but the added value is much lower than the Cost to have it done.

We had IOP in the UK for 3 years. The resale got hit on every car I ever saw for sale. One reason I didn't go for one!
Same goes for the Lime Green that was only around for 2 years!

Yay! Imola Orange Pearl! I'll be sueing Motor Trend for emotional distress if that rumor is false though...

Oh the other hand, I myself don't really care about the resale value. I mean, if it's my car and I happen to like that color very very much, then so be it! Why should we think into the future? Maybe Mercedes-Benz is going to offer a hot pink paint job on their S-Class model in 2010 that is is extremely popular. We never know!
