Meteor takes the early lead... no thoughts? I think meteor is an elegant color, but midnight looks bad-*** as well. tough to pick a color for the 997, it looks great in several colors.

Have a midnight blue w/ stone grey. I've seen the midnight blue w/ black/sand and it looks very, very, rich.

I like it, but part of me feels that midnight/beige-black may be the safer of the two choices in terms of how i like it in the long run. need to see these combos in person.

I like the grey/tan combo personally, and don't care for midnight. The natural brown is beautiful, but the sand is nice too.

On a targa, I would go with midnite blue because it will bring out the chrome molding along the roof a lot more. The best color though would be that peach/gold used in all the marketing collateral on the website.

I voted for Midnight Blue and the Midnight Blue/Sand Beige-Black color combination. I have seen the Midnight Blue/Sand Beige (without the Black) combination in person and I agree with D.D., it is a very rich looking combo.

I have not seen the Meteor/Natural Brown combo in person but I have seen the Natural Brown interior with a Black exterior, and the Natural Brown is stunning. IMO, there are too many Black/Silver/Gray cars on the road (not just P-cars) and I prefer something that dosen't look like it just came out of a Black and White movie. Just my personal preference.

911 buyers today are a conservative bunch,--even overseas. It wasn't always the case. The natural brown is a rich interior. But just too rich for the conservative tastes of so many today.
