Cobalt Blue/Grey Cayman S
Was at my local dealer today (picked up the 968 after it's service) and they had a new Cayman in Cobalt Blue with grey interior. The car also had the option to paint the lower front spoiler to match bodycolor....very nice.
Always been a fan of Cobalt Blue, but on the Cayman it was spectacular.
My wife (who doesn't really love my cars the way I do) gave me a ride down and even she thought it was a great color for this car.

Actually, the 968 Cab (polar silver/black) was purchased last November for her. I just picked it up from the dealer today, so now her girlfriends can teach her how to drive a 6 speed.
I found the Cayman to be a bit small/claustrophobic after a while.
I doubt it would ever happen, but a modern targa version (like the 993/996 targas) would be interesting.

I find this to be true of all the 996/7, 986/7 and variants. My left arm is almost wedged against the door panel. With the lower seating position of the sport seats I get a little more elbow room as my forearm sits in the recessed area of the panel right above the arm rest. If I didn't feel like a Bonsai Kitten when driving one I would probably have bought one by now.
But, yeah I figured the Cobalt Blue with gray interior would look really good. Amazon Green paint-to-spec with a Cashmere color interior would be sweet too. I'm heading that way on Monday - I think I know which dealer you're talking about - so I'll get to check it out.

If you do head to Inskip, tell everyone there that I said "Hi". Very nice people down there.
My wife has a little card that says 'In case of emergency, call the Porsche dealership'.....that's where I usually can be found, sitting around talking about cars.
