Not sure I agree... they are two completely different colors, but color is VERY subjective. Shark is basically something between Riviera Blue and Voodoo. Miami on the other hand is a very unique color different than any other Porsche color. It will be very much like what happened with Chalk... it killed PTS demand for Fashion and Sport Classic Grey... I see the same thing happening with Shark... Riviera and Voodoo numbers will decline for PTS.

But I like that Miami is a blue with a lot of yellow in it. I always wished I got a Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3. Not for everyone for sure. I love the Cornflower Blue GTI, so I'm sure Shark blue will look pretty awesome as well.

Dash and centre console straight out of the 992, no surprise there.
Gear lever is interesting. Instead of a shaver, you get a real looking **** but not really real.
Over compensating prior ‘short coming’?
’Look at my stick now! Fit for a man in a GT3! The real 911!’
Is that race-Tex seat inserts? Or some other fabric?

if true, a fake manual shifter is truly porsche's 'jumping the shark' moment. for me, this might be the most ridiculous thing they have ever done. this takes 'fake tailpipes' and 'exhaust noise through the stereo' to a whole new level.

Why? Would you rather have the Cornflower? The Shark name is more aggressive. The VW blue would be more popular than a metallic light blue for a GT car.
Chalk was offered due to the Popularity of Fashion Grey on PTS, I'm sure Shark Blue (VW Cornflower) is offered based on the popularity of Riviera/Voodoo blue in PTS. GT Cars have a history of being bolder, brighter... versus conservative colors.
