First Macan I ever saw was on my dealer's floor and

a) cost $115,000, which absolutely blew my mind, and

b) was that exact combo, which allowed me to see my color interior combo before ordering.

I love my Basalt Black but I lust after Sapphire blue...if I order my next one, it will be sapphire blue. If I decide to go '14 or even '15 CPO Turbo S instead, my options are much more limited an most likely I will settle for black or silver instead (not many sapphire blues come up as CPO Turbo S, at least not over the past several months).

Sapphire blue (and aqua blue) are stunning colors!

Just to bring this full circle, I put a deposit down on my C2S cabrio in Agate & Black/Bordeaux. The pull for Sapphire was strong, but ultimately went for my favorite interior over exterior. It's what I'll be looking at when I'm driving.

Nice. What color top? A red one works with your combo.

Black. I'm not a fan of colored tops with perhaps the rare exception of a tan top on a two seater that has a tan interior.

Too bad. I was hoping you'd ignore the critics and get the Sapphire with the Black/Bordeaux. I guess mine will be one of a kind!

Enjoy the car, the colors you went with are great too!

It would be far less unique in the Porsche world, but Agate grey, Spyder wheels, and black/red interior, anyone?
I just stepped out of my C2S in agate with red seats and rest full black interior. This was before they did the 2 tone red/black interior which looks awesome in my book. So this was a full leather interior in black with deviated seats in red. I liked it as it was just a touch of red. Top up everything is normal top down a little pop. Now I'm in a MT Spyder - highly recommend the MT.

Think it's for sale over in Chicago now, but didn't post it on hot for sale as its not a deal in my books.

That looks fantastic! On an ordered car, should I add a small customization like colored seat Belts? I realize this just feeds the profit machine, but $500 isn't much for a finishing touch. I'm thinking silver to match the aluminum as well as the back of the 18-way seats or maybe Bordeaux red to match the seats. Thoughts, or just save the $500 and apply towards xpel and radar/laser installation?

I, too, started with an interior color and then worked around it. Here's the result:
