Thanks for putting this together. As always black, silver and white are the front runners. I knew yellow was less popular, just didn't know it was the least popular. Similar with guards red. I can only assume that the bolder colors are shied away from when picking the TTS.

I have a Ferrari to be flashy, the TTS will be my daily driver, so I went with the classic but conservative GT Silver.

I’d have to agree - popularity has its pros and cons - at least a Racing Yellow Cab can be considered rare

When I had an allocation and was thinking of spec'ng one, I suggested to my SA, Racing yellow. He said that he had never seen one. That tempted me but I opted for the easy way and took the Python that San Diego had on the showroom floor.

I was also surprised to learn that my neighbor across the street stopped by and told me he got the coupe in python green. He got leather to sample in Nutmeg. I haven't seen it yet but it may look pretty cool, certainly a one-off.

Also, I noticed that my Vin is not in list so it must take a few months to have them update the list.

Python was my first choice....wifey shot me down - she was all about "porsche is a conservative car"... (0-60 2.7sec = conservative) -- so Carmine Red was where we ended up -- Paint or leather to sample is a bit of a stretch for me...i like to leave it to the car company, but i haven't been in the Porsche or exotic car world very long....just an s2000, corvette z06, and now the TTS - stock colors are fine...unless they open the book on the other colors they allow for the 12k price tag......theres nothing wrong with looking....
