If you read the entire thread it would seem that there are a number of GT4 launch colors that were teminated 3/28 ... one poster suggests that some of
these colors are no longer available across the model range

Interesting, wonder what the reasoning is... new colours to replace or discontinued due to lack of popularity?

Either way if this is true I'm happy... I get daily compliments on the colour of my car. If it becomes even rarer no complaints!

Vise - your car looks great. If they kill that color, they better have another nice blue coming.

I gotta think they'd offer something similar. I think the Sapphire Blue Metallic replaced the Aqua Blue Metallic in 2014.

Its the way they treat their blue colors...don't know if I am correct here but it seems to change every 3 years:

997.1 - Cobalt Blue
997.2 - Aqua Blue Metallic
991 - Sapphire Blue Metallic
991.2 - soon to be released shade of Blue
