Is that Carmine? I wish it was. (Get it?)

Seriously though, I'm assuming it's Carmine Red -- if so I love it to death. A great red without the orangey hue of Guards, yet, without the brown/purple leanings of other reds like Arena and whatever that current burgundy on the Panamera is.

If it's actually Guards, then the shadows and/or camera settings are making it look great!

I'm pretty certain its carmine - sorry it was in the shade, and the camera on my Nexus 5 isnt up too much ... I have to say I don't love the interior color (luxor) the Carrera S wheels looked really good in black...

Carmine red is super sexy. I went with GT silver as I didn't want all the flash associated with red cars

I think the CL wheels make the car look a whole lot better. In my opinion. Nice pics and thanks for sharing.

Lots of Porsche's at Alice's the first Saturday AM of the even numbered months. It is a group breakfast called the Boxster Bunch but open to all Porsche drivers.

Great to know! I'm planning on May already... if my GTS ever arrives

There's also the first Saturday coffee and donuts at EASY in Emeryville. Older Porsches there though.

The dash looks dark, is that the 2-tone Black/Luxor ?

+1

The "less is more" rear badge is nice too like we've discussed before. Doing PORSCHE with GTS below would be tasty too.

Black headlights and washer sprayers are a nice touch. I can't get used to the front parking sensors in the front grills though.
