Amplify Orange vs. Sebring Orange PICS!
 
Amplify on the left. I much prefer it over my 21 Sebring Orange on the right.

Both very nice but neither touches DSM.

Color is one of those things humans most disagree about. I love true oranges, like Sebring, and what Porsche calls "Lava" but I really disliked all the "rusty" ones like DSOM. Depending upon the lighting, Amplify looks too washed out to me.

So true! Makes you appreciate how hard it is for manufacturer to introduce a new hue. Still doesn’t explain Caffeine Brown though….

@CamsC8 thank you for posting these pics. I like both oranges. I have a AO being built this month and was scared that I wouldn’t like it, it just looks like SO was a red based orange and AO is a yellow based color. Both look great and I would be happy with either one. I do like that AO is not metallic.

my feelings exactly about AO, that’s why I’m switching to Torch Red.

Thanks for the side by side of the oranges. Earlier shots had me thinking the Amplify was brighter and I was a bit envious. The truth is just the opposite and I'm certainly glad my 2020 is the Sebring version. I like bright.

amplify looks much brighter to me.

Sebring Orange looks deeper to me and is the one I prefer. However it’s very subjective, I think both look great.

So why did they replace Sebring Orange? Was it not selling enough?

Focus groups.

interesting thread. SO by a mile is my choice. AO to me looks "cartoonish". Like it would have been in the movie "Cars". Just not a color I can take seriously.

I have seen both in person, and the SO has that deep orange, metallic content that just burns your eyes in bright sunshine, it is so bright. I have said this before. I saw SO in person 2 days before I had to lock my order selections and I was this close to changing from red mist...

i prefer darker tints of all colors (Red mist over torch red, elkhart lake blue over rapid blue, etc).

Robert13567 10-04-2021 10:36 PM

Like em both, but would like to see a pic in the sun

BMadden 10-04-2021 11:22 PM

Sebring looks much better to me.
