I live very close to Stevens Creek Porsche, but I can't even bring myself to see their GT3 because of my dislike of their sales staff. Maybe I will check it out when I stop by to get the new Le Mans T shirt.
As promised by Barbara Boeckenhoff (Manager, Porsche Exclusive - Personal Design PCNA), today I received the following information from Melissa Witek, whom we all have to thank for her dedicated service to customers on issues of PTS & 'Exclusive' options. I also want to thank Ms. Barbara Boeckenhoff for her assistance in these matters and arranging for my visit with 'Porsche Exclusive' in Germany.
I have decided not to attempt any analysis of it, but reported just as I received it. Like Nietzsche, I am trying to be philosophical about it!

PS I depart tomorrow for Germany and have a tour of the factory on Thursday July 16th and a luncheon & afternoon session with 'Porsche Exclusive' executives on a Friday July 17th. I will report on those at a later date. I am also trying to arrange for a tour of the Porsche Leipzig production facility on Monday, July 27th.

Same here. My love for Fashion Grey is incredible, but I can't do it.
Although, I will be in there for service on one of my cars tomorrow morning... So, I suppose I will see it (and will just waive off sales people as I'm there for service only). Will snap pics if I don't get too disgusted by their sales staff.
I saw the car in person at Stevens Creek. Sales staff totally ignored me (thankfully). I own a Suzuka Grey Audi and the colors are nothing alike. The Suzuka is very similar to Carrara White Metallic. The Fashion Grey is very beige / sand-colored (some brown / yellow in it).
ah. i've yet to see a Suzuka Grey car in person and it seems like another one that is hard to capture well in pictures. a side by side with Fashion Grey would be cool to see.

i've seen Nardo Grey in person and i would say it is much darker than Fashion Grey. i prefer Nardo Grey, but both are pretty unique.
edit: saw this RS6 in the parking lot by Neuschwanstein Castle last October

Let's remember 'Susuka Grey' is a metallic & 'Modegrau' is a solid/uni. Apples & Oranges.

Nice RS6 Avant. Beautiful details by adding the 'yellow' color elements! Shame that Audi doesn't import them into the US.
I had a 2014 Audi RS5 and agonized over color. So looked at everything in person. Suzuka Gray is basically white. Nothing like Fashion gray. Best Porsche match is Carrara white metallic basically a metallic white. I thought using the term "gray" in Susuka Gray was very misleading.

yea, that car was really nice. the lot attendant came over and asked me why i was taking pictures of "that boring wagon" and not the Ferrari that was also in the lot. i told him "because red Ferraris are boring".
it's definitely too bad that Audi hasn't been sending the Avants to the US. i see they are talking about maybe sending the next gen RS5 Sportback though. i think those cars look bad and they don't give you the space advantage of the Avant, so they're a lose-lose to me.

Looks like the one at Stevens Creek is now under deposit.
I believe the IMSA GT3 pace car is a PTS signal green car.
There were reports on this thread earlier, at the Imsa/Tudor Watkins Glen race, that one of 'our' PTS gt3s in 'Signal Green' served as a pace car...and we have a photo of it on the parking lot.
But does anyone have more information on this car, what dealer it was sold by, its original owner or a photo of it on the track being used as a 'pace car'?
