Hooniverse Alum Blake “Zeppelin Pilot” Rong recently penned a piece over on Kinja that set a number of automotive journalist cliches into list form. It’s a fun read, and one of my favorite parts was the inclusion of loving all things brown.
So, in his honor, I decided to track down some of the brown machines located around the floor of the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. Surprisingly, there were less brilliantly brown machines than I had expected… though that Porsche up top is a damn fine looker in this chocolate shade.


The lighting of this booth sucked. I can assure you that this is brown though, and not taupe or purple-ish, or something else.

This brown was almost drool worthy because it’s clearly inspired by milk chocolate being poured from a vat. It’s dripping with brown.

How about a tougher shade of brown?

Perhaps you prefer some delicious espresso? Or would it be expresso? Actually, feel free to slap me because I hate when people say expresso. Either way, this warmly hued Huracan is rather fetching.
…and this is the space where I expected a lot more brown to appear. It’s sorely lacking from the show this year.
