Any scoop on new colors for 2006? Also, thinking about GT Silver with Terracotta interior. Dealer doesn't have any Terracottas in stock to check out-tough to pull the trigger on an unusual color without seeing it. Looking for a unique color combo.

Here is a unique interior color combo... maybe too unique? This was posted on another site.

Is that Ronald McDonald's Porsche?

I saw a Carerra GT in GT Silver with terracotta interior and it looked fabulous. One note of caution: it is an unusual combination and might affect resale value.

I have seen a few 997's with Terracotta interiors......and one word of caution......in sunlight its a pretty bright and "distinctive" color. I do like it though......but I don't know if I would get it. It is one color you REALLY need to see in person first......it shows so much different in each photo.

A dealer near me recently had an Artic Silver on Terracotta S (picture below)........either GT or Artic match great with it........so does Slate Grey and Black. Have also seen a midnight blue on terracotta....and didn't like that as much.

For 2006 I've heard that there will be a bi-color Terracotta/Black interior combo......and that should be something to think about also.

One color that is very under used IMO is Dark Teal.......hardly anyone ever sees or orders this color, but every time I see it in person it looks stunning......and so do most others.

Thanks for the pic MikeN. Don't think I need to see Terracotta in person now. That pic did it---it's not for me--too much of a "look at me" statement.

I've seen Terracotta in person and sat in it (in a Carrera GT) (unfortunately the dealer took the keys before letting me in the car). It can look nice and its distinctive (its not quite as bright as it shows in the picture above), BUT I think its something you could easily tire of before long and I also think it would hurt resale. The natural gray and natural brown interiors and leather are really nice - more expensive, but if I ever ordered a car I would seriously consider them.

No new colors for 2006. At least that's what my guy told me several weeks ago when I finalized my order (i.e was about to pass the point of "no changes).

Interior color? IMHO, Black is the only choice possible IF IF IF the bizzy-ness of all the disperate interior components bother you. There's just TOO MUCH going on inside that car with the speaker covers, the trims, the transitions, the contours, the materials, the lines-shapes-textures.

Black tones the whole visual circus down.

Just something to think about.
