I agree... in person, GBM is stunning. But if it's fugly to someone that's okay... (we'll) I'll keep enjoying the GBM with pride.

And my Sapphire too... go head, kill these colors!

I see more blue today in the computer, yesterday was looking at it with the tablet. Still don't like it for a 911, but that is clearly personal

With GT Silver now reduced to the same price as Rhodium Silver ($720 option for metallics) they probably looked at which was being ordered more often.
I like Rhodium Silver . . . I looked at a Rhodium Silver car parked next to a GT Silver car out on a dealer's lot in the bright sunshine and the Rhodium Silver looked softer, like the early 356 Porsches. Rhodium Silver has a bluish tint to it compared the GT Silver looking more like a darker base coat under it and much coarser looking metallic. The Rhodium Silver just glows at night under artificial light. Sorry to see it go

I agree. I like both silvers but there is something about Rhodium silver, with that blue hue, which is really nice.

RIP graphite blue- it was beautiful, but too subtle for a skittle-color loving guy like me. If I was more subdued, I would have ordered that for sure. Silver, white, black- those colors are for the weak, or old. Having said that, GT silver is very classy.

When I got my Aqua Blue, I had no idea it was discontinued after 2013 MY. Makes the ownership experience even cooler to own a rare color.

holy cow! It'll be worth the wait, my Wife's new Macan is in Sapphire Blue and it's a STUNNING color in person. Here's a photo I took of the hood in daylight to help you with the wait...

Ordered my car in Rhodium Silver and have been real happy with the color. Seems classic Porsche for my taste.

I was hoping for some new colors this month, but it seems like it won’t happen until the 992 comes out. PTSRS on instagram has a few PAG test color cars rolling around, the one that looks like murano or Smyrna green is particularly lovely.
