Default Impulse Red and Sapphire Blue

I am taking the new Macan module and these are the two colors not showing up on the configurator as yet. The Sapphire Blue is a standard upgrade color and the Impulse Red Metallic is the same price as the Aurum Metallic paint. I assume these will both be available shortly on the main web site to specify.

Correct and both should be offered here as an option. They also have the diesel in the module which will be a longer wait if it makes it here....

The color palette Porsche offers for the USA is disappointing. The Macan desperately needs a deep dark green or a luscious deep burgundy included on the palette.

Let's review

-- standard black: a timeless classic, but not for everyone. more specifically, black is gorgeous when wet but unlivable if you reside in a hot desert or if you don't wash your car.
-- standard white: BOOOORING. Makes all vans and SUVs look like Frigidaires. Also highlights the relatively unsavory black plastic fascia elements
-- jet black metallic: see standard black
-- rhodium silver metallic, agate grey metallic, palladium metallic: see standard white
-- mohagany metallic -- might be fine in the rest of the world, but in the USA it will be referred to as either Zune Brown or Turd.
-- dark blue metallic: meh. not a very compelling shade of blue.

What was Porsche thinking???

From what I've heard, Color to Sample will become available in 2015. Not sure if that is true though...

I agree on the dark green and especially on the dark red metallic (Arena red would be a perfect color for the Macan). These colors should be available for all Porsches (even if I personally don't like any green colors really...). To me, all SUVs look best in less flashy colors. I prefer black, grey, silver or white, since I would use it as my business car.

However, choice of color is very personal, but Porsche in general hasn't got a very large color palette when it comes to standard colors.
