I don't like "ANY" of the current colors on offer, at least not enough to be happy about, when paying over $100k for a car. I've been kicking around the idea of getting Frozen Berry, "just because"...w/silver wheels, black calipers.

Totally agree with you. Their color palette is really weak and disappointing, especially, as you point out, when you're paying this kind of money. I plan on getting mine wrapped. Then it'll be the color I want and cost a fraction of their ridiculous PTS gouge. Plus, I can change the color every few years if I choose and still come out ahead.

I've got a GT4 on order (but was originally chasing the Spyder).

Because of the poor color choices, I had 'relaxed into' Frozen Berry Metallic on the Spyder. However, I just couldn't do it on the GT4 order. For me, the black roof (or black interior with top down) on the Spyder 'softened' (or masculinized) the FBM enough that I got geeky excited about it on the Spyder. Thus my original GT4 configuration was FBM...which I changed after sleeping on it for 3 days...just too much FBM without the additional black elements of the Spyder.

...and YES, I also want to see real photos of both ASAP.

I think Oak Green Metallic is more grey. I want to see metallic in it but even on my desktop monitor I can’t definitively see that it’s metallic. I have a PTS Porsche Racing Green Metallic on order so I’ve spent way too much time looking at the metallic greens and that doesn’t look like any of them.

My guess is that it’s Irish Green non-metallic.

They won't even give you the list of colors that are available. It's confidential. My SA wouldn't send it to me. I had to do a zoom call and he held his phone up to the screen so I could look at the list. But I couldn't have the list.

You would think they would have a list of what colors are available at the PEC by the wall of color samples. But no.

Here you go. The video is of horrible quality and clearly whoever is in their marketing department doesn't know much about cars. Was laughing at what the voiceover is calling out.

So was at dealership this week and apparently 'Night Blue' is out and some new new non-metallic grey is in. This it is called 'storm'. A darker form of 'Crayon' similar to 'Nardo' on Audi.

An Oak Green Spyder with platinum wheels would look terrific.

CurbKiller,
Thank you for the FBM Spyder video. Even has the black calipers, platinum wheels, and painted interior trim that I would have specified. I would have left the roll bars in standard black. Hmmm...even watching this several times...I think my word is 'interesting' instead of 'awesome'...sometimes good when initial plans don't work out.

I'm so close to hitting my quota with Mary Kay that I'm cleaning out the garage to make room for mine.

Word salad for options. This car comes equipped with such great options as wheels, doors, an engine, and a place to put people.

The sad thing is I'm not sure you could really call LWBs power seats...... false advertising.
