I like it- but then again I like bright colors.
My old car was Agate Grey and I got that just to see what it would be like. Got tired of it after a few months. Now I know...

We're looking again. The first line item on my CPO "build sheet" is ABS. Anything But Silver.

When taking Mrs. 911s input we are now down to Agate or White and PTS if the right 991s cab came along on the used market.

I think the Miami Blue is terrific and if I were in the market for a genuine new car that option would be one I have to seriously consider.

Saw a Riviera blue 991 cab in yesterday and even on a dull London day, it looked amazing. Love those bright colours.

I like miami blue targa 4s with brown top and brown in interior. With my option list it costs 120k pounds. For the same price I can buy turbo. So which one to choose? Help please

fine if you plan on keeping it forever, otherwise that's a color combo that will be hard to unload later IMO ...

With all due respect, I do not think you buy these cars for resale or for the next guy... you buy these cars because they give you pleasure. If you are building a new car, it should be exactly to your liking and specifications, not those of the next guy. We all work hard to earn the money it takes to buy these cars (presumably), so you should get maximum pleasure out of it.... just my two cents or my point of view... having said that, Miami blue is not for me... but that's why we have all these choices...:-)

I was not suggesting that he not buy it if he likes it, but the truth is some
cars resell better than others...

a blue car with brown ... great if you like cars that look like something large took a **** on it... YMMV

I'd support a MB car, or a car with brown int/top ... but together ... its not a common combination

Did Larry just go on record saying he'd support a car with a brown interior or top!?

I dont think so!

ok...

I *might* concede that at times brown might be attractive ... but NEVER in conjunction with either blue, yellow, red or any other "primary" color ... perhaps with the exception of green ...

I personally think it only really works well with other neutral colors like white, black, sliver, grey etc ...

I can not think any colour combination oher than brown with this colour. Even in fashion turquoise goes very well with brown. Only thing for 120K buying a fashionable porsche targa or go for 991 turbo.

That sounds great, but most people don't keep their car as long as they expected at purchase. They often move on the next shiny penny.

BTW, I don't like that Miami Blue and I'd tend to agree with Larry on bad brown color combos, but...in a strange way I think that Miami blue with a medium brown interior (not dark/not light) may just look awesome.
