Many of faithful BOVB readers have reported that, since reading the BOVB, they tend to see Orange vehicles (OVs) everywhere. The same has been true for me since launching the blog in January 2009.
But it seems like the past two or three months have revealed another trend: auto manufacturers are producing more Orange cars, trucks and SUVs. At least that's what it seems like.
Sadly, they are not making OVs in Tennessee Orange. Rather it's a metallicy kindof Orange. It's an Orange I would enjoy seeing every once in a while, but not every friggin day, like I am now.
And it seems like all the mfgs are doing it: GM, Honda, etc etc.
Pictured here are two examples that I photographed in the past few days. One is a Saturn SUV, the other a Honda Fit. I could produce many more. The question is: what made the carmakers to do this? Has market research shown people want more OVs?
Whatever it is, we here in the Orange Nation appreciate their efforts but want them to scale it back just a bit. Afterall, too much of a good thing -- even when it's Orange -- is never good.
