While we're on the brown theme - 1. I actually really like Anthracite. and 2. opinions are like - well you know the saying.
The point here isn't to establish "truth" I was just curious how much opinions aligned or all were entirely unique...

Just more proof no one ever really grows up - what fun would that be?
And, having one of each, I can verify the PDK is not the worst transmission, but clearly not as "good" as the 6 speed in the Boxster.

Default And a close second...

Speed Yellow over Nephrite Green!




As bad as this looks, I have to confess to a soft spot for Nephrite; the first Boxster I ever drove, in 1996, was Arctic Silver/Nephrite, and I thought (still think) the soft green is a cool color. The problem with all Porsches till recently was that if you went with a strong interior color you got EVERY LAST SQUARE INCH of the car covered in that color. It was just too much, even in the excellent Boxster Red. BMW did such a better job in the late-nineties with this color, by using it moderately instead of making the car look like they loaded a paint gun with leather dye and sprayed every thing you could see.

Furthermore, I think the phrase you're looking for is, "I couldn't care less".
Ahhh, unless "I could care less" is followed by "but I don't think it's possible".

Easiest for resale and most popular... Black, White, and Silver. Are boring for some people too.

Then you throw in interior color combos to the exterior and things get really complicated!!!

You bet. Polarizing. Interesting the myriad of different yellows in existence. Some appeal to my senses. Others do not.

Examples. I prefer the P "Race" to "Speed" hue. I like both the The Defender 90 AA and M3 Dakar yellows but '97 Wrangler Yellow.......yechh.

Anyway, just personal pref.

I wish PTS was more reasonably priced. I would have opted for a no-metal Nightwatch Blue. Crazy beautiful when color sanded.....sorry off topic.

That price makes me a little sick to my stomach.
