Default "First ever" Porsche ordered

Too much lurking here so I pulled the plug today. 991 C2S in Platinum Silver/Espresso. Chrono, PDK, PSE, full leather, Bose, etc. Will replace the "etc" with actual options once dealer confirms the order. I found the option sheet to be a bit confusing but the dealer was impressed that I knew so much about the car. This forum allowed me that knowledge and I sincerely thank you.

Thanks. I was all set with the Platinun and then I saw Agate Grey. Now I am confused!

It is all very personal but in my opinion espresso looks better with agate silver.

It is all personal taste, but I think your original spec is spot on. i would not change a thing !

I personally like the greater contrast of the exterior and interior with your first choice. Both colors complement the 991 shape, but every time I see my car I like the way platinum silver picks up the light.

Then again, I haven't yet seen one that didn't look great in any color other than some of the "tuner" cars that call to mind orange dyed hair, too much eye makeup and a nose ring.

Thank you David! Probably sometime late October although the dealer is scurrying around trying to locate one.
