My short list is between Sapphire Blue and Agate. SB will show the contrast of the black bits and think really pops. Agate looks more undercover gangster. Real first world problem, however can fully relate to your anguish, though am (today) sticking with SB; order locks in a month.
I have agate now and love it and happy to have GTS in same colour and where I'm from (small village in England) there is not a gangster in sight thank the lord and not an issue...!!!
Problem for me is I really the contrast with silver and feel the same way about they way the car looks in agate...

It looks really good to me. I think the Agate with the GTS interior package will be really sweet.
Only two issues.
1) Sterring wheel. As mentioned above. I would go with the SD wheel.
2) I would either add the side skirts painted or remove the rear painted.
Gook luck and congrats.

thanks Larry,
I currently have the MF steering wheel and have found it incredibly useful and saves fiddling around with buttons while driving so can keep eye on road!
PDCC again I have on current car and like the ride..its not a deal breaker though....
I love the gt silver and agate...and tbh I'm still torn but not for the black highlight reason as I like the way the car looks with the trim in agate....
I still have a little time...

Are you set on getting it with an automatic/dual clutch? I thought one of the benefits of this car was getting the 7MT to control the gears yourself. Just a thought.

I understand everyone is different but for me driving with nothing else to do other than concentrate on speed and cornering and hearing the sound of the engine change gear at terrific speed is the Best!!

Personally, I don't care for the SD steering wheel (had it on my 997) so don't feel like you have to drink the cool-aid!
Wow, money must not be an issue, what with the PDCC and PCCB and other, um, not-so-necessary options. Hey, it's your car, get what you want. I'm surprised though that you guys only get two years of warranty, that's a shame. I guess those of us in the USA really are spoiled.
What's up with that locator service? I'd never seen it before.
Congrats on the new car, whatever color it ends up as.

PCCB is not a go on this sort of car. And if you have to change (yes we have a GT3RS where we had to do) the cost is crazy. I really don't see ANY advantage on PCCB
PDCC is a lot more complicated. If you want optimal grip, but less feel for the drive it could be a go
Personnaly I am against as it makes the car (yes I have Pdk
) less playful and takes away too much of the weight transfer which you can use to have more fun...... which PDC and electric steering does already too much (taking away fun)

No, I am more amazed that a debate even takes place..?
Surely, both are great and you pays your money you takes your choice!!

Still in doubt about colour..... as I can change it until 5 weeks before production. Current order is on Rhodium but I saw a GT Silver at the showroom of the dealer......next to a Macan in Rhodium........
