Carrara white
What are thoughts on this color for a regular coupe? I like it but wonder whether it is too plain unless a cabrio, GT3 etc. I think the old 996 coupes better suited metallics but the curves of the 997 do seem to suit a solid color well. The one I'm looking it has a black interior and the classic 19's and seems quite elegant without being bling or flashy.
The white does seem to exaggerate the bulbousness of the rear of the car though compared with metallic paints or black.

Crap, I posted this in the wrong forum - used to have a 996 so force of habit I suppose

I agree - saw one in the mall the other day, the white with the large rims looks really sharp! Remember, white is the new Silver!

White is such a great color on a 911...my favorite is the GT3 in white, but I think it looks great on the 996 and the 997.

No arguments from me - I love white Porsches.

I didn't like my Alpine White 944 though. It has to be a pure white for me to like it!

My '89 Carrerra-4 was white and I loved it for 8 years - Easier to keep clean as a daily driver and I thought it always elegantly simple.

+10. White is excellent, especially a 4S.
