Just a note the 330 rating is a combined highway/city rating. The highway rating on 21's I believe is something like 303, not massively... -

Since you can buy two R2's for the optioned-out price of the Macan... I'd take... One R2 and a couple of trips to Italy ;)

Orange is the best iPhone color for the 17 pro. Though if it came in Borealis, I would jump at getting one.

Not helpful for now but just in case for future reference: we have never had a vehicle that hides dirt as well as the Dune. (Seems...

Not an R2 color.

This is so accurate. It looks good (great if you like the color like me) when dirty and only looks a little better when clean.

El Cap in a landslide.

And because of the marine layer the town has a reputation for being grey and foggy.

CalDriver reacted to Millbarge's post in the thread Which R2 colors look best when dirty? with Like.
Agreed - historically silver and gray colors hide dirt best.

Not sure which is best, but I can anchor the WORST and that would be Borealis.. even just mild dirt makes it look hazy dirty.

I had a silver and then dark gray Audi A6 back-to-back. In Minnesota winters, Silver was definitely better at hiding dirt/dust.

Just embrace the dirt and get whatever color you prefer. A dirty car will always look dirty but a silver car will never look forest green.
