A guy ordered a Miami Blue TTS and when it arrived, didn't take it as he hated the color in person. I have/had a sapphire blue Targa4GTS that I specc'd and it arrives/arrived this month and I backed out a couple of weeks ago for personal reasons. Not only that but to get it, they had to give up a TTS allocation to get the GTS as they didn't have one. Not defending anyone, just saying those things happen.
I just think the reality is sinking in that these cars are regularly seeing north of $30-40k in options which wasn't the norm before... I thought my spec was bloated at $164k lol
Mine is definitely bloated. But I'm ok with it It's my car (or will be), so why wouldn't I spec it how I want?

My 2 cents: All those considering Sport Classic Grey, I will warn you it is extremely similar to Chalk/Crayon Grey. Only difference is Chalk is slightly warmer tint (like Fashion Grey, but lighter) versus SCG which has a cooler tint.
Here is my SCG parked next to a Chalk 718 Cayman:
IMHO, not sure if it is worth the $12k PTS premium... When I ordered my PTS SCG 981 Spyder, Chalk/Crayon was not available, so it made sense for me. If Chalk was available back then, like it is now I don't think I would have specced SCG. Don't get me wrong, SCG a beautiful grey, but it's way too close to Chalk.
LOL. So, let me see. I ordered and insisted a PTS violet car, purple stitching, yellow seatbelts, carbon fiber everywhere, CC brakes, plus other options to drum up the cost to over 200K. It shows up at the dealership, and I say "Yuck, it's the most horrible combo I could have come up with, but I didn't think so at the time, so I want my deposit back", that would be OK? I always knew something was wrong with California. . No wonder they charge such high ADM's on desirable cars.
i’d totally buy that car.
and, in reality, that is exactly what will happen. So it sits there a couple months, no big deal, and they could always ask for adm... nothing wrong w CA, that $h!t works, no one is a$$ed out, and everyone gets a car except the lame that passed on it to begin w. I honestly don’t understand your perspective

i agree- it’s not worth the extra 8k, but I didn’t order mine in those colors
mostly I was just worried people wouldn’t see it when driving and be more likely to hit me. It’s urban camo to me, when I see it going down the road, it just disappears... stealthy as hell tho
