I would have definitely considered aqua, but sapphire wasn't on my radar.

Aqua is a great colour - I have a 2013 Boxster S in Aqua - but I can't see it being a big seller being on the PTS list.

Sadly the most recent PTS list indicates that aqua blue metallic is currently only available for the Panamera. For the 911, it's listed as "feasibility check necessary".

It will all be different for the RS.
Maybe the idiots will make white a $5000.00 PTS color for the RS again like they did in 2007

I've read that PTS costs $5,500 and can delay production by weeks or months.

I'm thinking Speed Yellow or Gulf Orange but $5,500 is really excessive. I can get a super nice wrap RS Orange for less than half that.

I pay more for a good wrap and they don't last long.
I hate to pay for paint that cost the same to put on just because they can.

I agree, but it is even worse when that paint color is free on all the other models.

How long you think a 3M wrap would last?

Yes, I'm also interested in hearing how long a wrap lasts. To me it's not only important for the color choice, but also to protect the paint underneath.
