Hakone may look better in warm daylight vs. the cool showroom LED's where I saw one that didn't do it any favors.

I think it looks great - but to each their own.

I do not think Toyota was going for a true 'British Racing Green' here.

That's where they fucked up. I still like it, though. A little spendy.

Just might be worth it if Subaru knew how to paint cars these days. Too much orange peel for me

The early 90's Toyota green had too much blue in it... I had a Mk1 VW Jetta that was Onyx Green Metallic, which was a nice green. My '94 Cherokee was Hunter Metallic Green as well...also a nice color...

I like green cars.

I drove a 2014 Corolla rental one time, it was green.

I didn't mind that shade of green, but on that car it just screamed rental car.

Im wondering if it might be the same green...its hard to tell (also no color codes yet) as a lot of the dark greens tend to look the same in pictures.

Also wondering if the Nori Green in the Lexus products looks better/worse...…

In the end...im not sure if I would like having a green car......

As you said hard to tell in pictures but what is available shows those are so radically different that even in pics they are not the same. I would not want in those shades. The green on the 86 looks great in pics and suits a sports car. Would look like crap on a sedan or suv.

Yep, it would make those vehicles look like military vehicles -

Something has been bugging me about this thread... Just worked it out... seeing 'British Racing Green' and 'Enjoyment' in the same sentence...
