Wish it didn't have the chrome window trim but other than that it's a great color!

For the interested buyer, you could have a matching Panamera Too bad it's only a base model. Would look cool on the GTS.

curious as to why the door handle trim wasn't selected for deviated stitch as well...just doing the armrest looks odd. i would put the blame squarely on porsche for having such a goofy spec system for doing deviated stitch...i understand this is not a full leather so there should be only 2 codes to select versus the full leather which has 4 codes. i have no idea why porsche thinks people would only want one or the other (door handle vs door armrest) and introduce the risk of f-ing up a custom order.
/1st world problem rant

nice color though!

+1 you read my mind! - I dont really think that chrome trim has a place on a 911 anymore

Yes you and I are of a like mind on this... this particular car would look great with matte (or even high gloss) black trim... I might even put black instead of the platinum painted wheels (which look great) on it...

Agree with you guys, chrome trim looks ok on a classy, rich looking color car. On bright color cars, that are meant to be more sporty, got to go with the black trim.

amen, I think with a 'classic' color it makes sense, as it has the feel of an older, 'classic' 911, but with brighter colors, it makes the car look like a 'hot wheels' model IMO!

Hate it. Makes it look like a Viper wanting attention. There's a reason weird colors take forever to sell; no one wants them.

The upside of this is that those of us that love these colors typically get a deal on the car, so I guess everyone wins, including the color challenged dull, dull, dull CPA BMW drivers amongst the faithful...

Really depends on the car. Larry's Mexico Blue GT3 would command a premium I am sure.

truth be told, my car had been sitting in Monterey for about 4 months, and I managed to get them to discount it a fair bit, mostly because of all the extraneous leather options they had specced on it!

Well I think the days of that are gone, the popularity of PTS seems to have sky rocketed especially with the tough time getting allocations within the PTS window. I know the color is still personal preference, but I am #1 in the Mexico Blue fan club!
