I know of a 93 GTS 5 speed cobalt blue with under 20k km...........

Canadian model, or Japanese, or ??? I'm liking what I'm reading about importing 1988-1995 Canadian cars

The one parted on ebay was parted because of a broken off alternator mounting point. Morons.

If it's the car I'm thinking about, the dash/pod/center console and door panels are in my '88 now. I wish I had been able to get the rest of it also.

My vote is for Cobalt, if I ever repaint my car it will be that.

I have to say Cobalt without a doubt although can you have someone paint it so it color shifts properly. That has been my biggest issue I talked to every expert they can match the color but getting it to color shift properly is tough. I even tried vette guys who do this kind of stuff often. So if I scratch my turbo I'm screwed.

I had heard the cobalt car blew the engine and they decide to part it out. I had been searching for that car for years I almost cried when I saw the parts on ebay.

Factual agree that Tahoe is a very rare colour indeed, however as Tony's question was about what one prefers between those two: Cobalt was and is my choice.

Cobalt colour on the left, Iris metallic colour on the right (mine) - 23rd July 2011 40 year Porsche Club Finland cars showing:

And the other way around, shown from the back:

Like RKD, I'm biased to Iris:

Ok so one Cobalt one Tahoe and one Iris you can mix and match 5 speeds and autos as you see fit.

I tried buying Dave's Iris blue before I purchased my amazon but he wouldn't budge for what is now reasonable money for a GTS.
