I saw a Sonora e90...

I saw a brand new Sonora 330i, with Beige interior, in the parking garage over the weekend. I always had that perception that I wouldn't like it, but after seeing it in the metal for the first time I have to say that it is really really awful!

Electric Red is my second least favorite color and it is a far far far better than Sonora, IMO.

I saw a Sonora E91 at my dealer some time ago. I still go back and forth on it. It was actually a color we considered for our E91, but without a live example I was too afraid that it would be "golder" than we wanted. I thought it looked okay indoors, but if the sun catches it I think it would be too bright gold for my taste.

Sonora is ok, I wouldn't buy it, but it is tolerable. My least fav is barrique red..... its like a sh1tty brown!!

Hey, what the heck were you doing in Rehoboth in February? Little chilly for a stroll on the boardwalk isn't it?

Actually, my favorite time to go down there is winter/off season. Congrats on your forthcoming car!

Me too! I like to go in Sept right after the closing summer fest (forget what it's called).

I'm not a sonora fan either. I've never had a brown or gold car. Lots of grays or silvers, a white, a black, a dark blue, a few reds... and okay, I'll admit it, I had two purple-ish cars in the late 90's.

i haven't seen it in person but it looks awfully disgusting in pictures. whoever gets that color will definitely be unique...
