Default 2017 TT Special colour opinions plz

Was all set on carmine red. Now when I go on configurator I'm liking Miami blue more and more. I was going to get Carmine red, leather/ alcantara interior and red painted trim. But now I'm thinking go Miami! I don't like the blue painted trim with Miami. I'm thinking Miami with leather/ Alcantara seats and aluminum trim would suffice. Any comments? Suggestions?

Would love contrast stitching, deviated interior but don't see it as an option in Canadian configurator.

I like carmine But hate SUVs it kills me there are Cayennes running around in Carmine. I don't think there are too many Miami blue Cayennes.

If you want unique and bold, definitely go with Miami. There are a LOT of red cars out there but rarely a really good looking blue. The only down side to having one of the really special colors is that you are always noticed/noticable/remembered.
AS my son said " we need a white car in case we ever need to go somewhere incognito..."

I think that the new Graphite Blue is the sleeper of the bunch (of course, I haven't seen it in the flesh yet).
If you want red, Carmine is one of the nicest reds I have ever seen.

I'm pretty set on Carmine red with 18 way seats in black with alcantara centres. I'm painting the trim Carmine red so it does not look so boring inside.

I've tried the same its Miami but blue painted trim does not look as good as with Carmine. If someone was to get Miami what would be a good interior to go its it? I'm feeling only all black with aluminum suits it.

I like the graphite blue the best, then carmine, then Miami. All good choices. I would not do painted trim in any of them. Stock aluminum or graphite trim looks best IMO.

So this is the car I have imagined.
Im getting mixed feelings about the interior trim painted. I like it, some say go for silver/carbon
Hmmm...






I am reconsidering the alcantara seat centers as Im hearing the Alcantara wears terribly.

If you were on your third wife, you would be shopping for a used Prius, with some luck.

If you want some red accents, perhaps carbon fiber or anodized aluminum trim with red stitching ? Good luck

Would love red accents or stitching but cannot find them on the configurator. Dealer has access to what is on the web and I don not see any option for stitching

They're not on the web; only the dealer has access to that...that's how it was when I purchased my '16 TTS as well. You can spend 10-15K easily with the deviated stitching option, and then you'd look like an idiot. LOL

A few tastefully done deviated stitch options would be slick, but don't overdo it.

And BTW, I'm 58 and have an Agate Grey TTS...and had I been 30 now, would still chose that color combo. I have plenty of other cars that scream bright colors, but my 991 isn't that car...

i do like Agate especially with two-tone red/black interior.
You say the deviated stitching is $$$$? Damn I've already had it with all the extras. What would justify an extra $15k if it is just contrasting stitching?

My bad in the way I explained it...I meant "UP TO 10-15k". Spend only a few k on a tastefully done deviated stitch and you'll look good!
