I too was undecided about ordering MB but when my lock date was nearing i had to make a decision . I change on the last day to MB. I think with the black accents and black wheels I think it looks good. I hope to here next on the ship number and delivery date. I was told that by my SA.

I would also put Satin Black Vinyl or CF Vinyl on the roof. I think it would look killer and help even more breaking up the MB

ive seen a number of Turbo S in Miami Blue, both Cab and Coupe. They look stunning. I personally have never seen the green that others have mentioned in MB. For my GT3.2 it was down to Miami vs Carmine. my kids begged me to get MB, but I went with Carmine. The more pics I see online of new GT3s in MB make me think I chose poorly....

No you did not. I took out my CR GT4 late yesterday afternoon and I am still in love with the color. Just a very elegant rich red. Changes hues on you which is an added bonus. Not too excited that they wanted $4000 for the color but if you want the best red on the market today - you got it

This is a good representation of MB. I personally don't care for it that much (I know I don't like the yellow belts)

The green tint comes out more when it is under the lights in the showroom, but when outside in the sun it looks more blue - and that's where it will spend more time. Unless you're in the UK like me and you won't get too much sun, lol

Wow... I have a MB car, and I'm looking at these photos at a professionally color-calibrated calibrated monitor, and it's nothing like my car. This looks over-exposed and with incorrect white balance. Another proof that anyone considering this color needs to see it in person (also both sunlight and cloudy day).

From left to right, these cars are: Riviera, Miami, Mexico....

This is the most accurate pic of all posted recently. It's noticeably "greener" than the other two colors in sunlight but not all the way to turquoise. It's probably 50/50 between baby powder blue and turquoise. In the cloudy/diffused light, the difference is slightly smaller - green kind of fades.

I like MB because of freshness, as Mexico is too "powdery" for me, but these colors are definitely not interchangeable, and those who like Mexico will not necessarily like MB.

MB is a color that u need to see in the flesh before ordering. I saw a GT3.2 at the factory ready to ship in MB. It certainly stood out. Not for me though.

I've ordered Miami Blue in Manual with as many black accents as I could including door handles. Should look the goods when she arrives end of the year.

I am curious how people would perceive MB if that colour was PTS and Riviera or Mexico standard colours.
Honest comments please

Blues for me vodoo, maritime and cobalt. I would need to see samples in person to decide. Would probably end up with cobalt or maritime since both are more rare than vodoo
