Default Graphite Blue Discontinued?
Heard today for two different sources that Graphite Blue will no longer be offered. Anyone else hear this?

I love Graphite Blue. I bet it will be offered as PTS for the 992

PS - I also like standard Black, Miami Blue, Saffron Yellow, Chalk, GT Silver etc....to many choices....lol

My guess would be nothing until 992 production.

Ahhh damn...it's my favorite standard color! Was gonna get the 2RS in that color if they'd have allowed PTS.

One day I’m hoping to secure a GT3 allocation. In the interim I play with the configurator,
and I always end up with the graphite blue. It is such an elegant color. I’m surprised they’re pulling it out. I would have thought it’s very popular.

I test drove with this color before ordering. The color is so bad I was worried I would not like the drive. I was surprised to see a Nissan Maxima in Metallic Blue today.. Have no idea how that came about.

Car Color is very personal thing. For me, I thought Graphite Blue looked awesome on the configurator and in pictures. When I saw it in person I didn’t like it.
