Dark Teal did not sell well at all and will likely be discontinued indefinitely.

Carmona was a hot seller for a while and may return under another name. Arena was it's predecessor and also did well. Orient was the in between color, and did not do as well. I would bet there will be a burgundy metallic of some iteration.

I agree with you Dr.G, I've never have seen Forest Green except in photos, I was hoping to order Carmona Red, but I would consider Forest Green just to be different!

I saw an '07 997 C2 Cab in Forest Green with Sand Beige interior at Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte. It is really a very rich looking color. This one was absolutely beautiful and relatively unique.

I don't know why the Porsche community in general dosen't seem to like green P-cars. Maybe it is because some of the earlier green colors were too different ("off" colors, pastel colors).

I'm really torn between getting the exterior color I want vs. getting the interior I want. I would love a terracotta/black interior. I would also love a cobalt car. Just not both. I have to decide which is the more important aspect of the car. Green with terracotta/black would probably be phenomenal.

I'm not sure about that combination. Maybe it would lok better in person than how I "visualize" that combo.

IMO, Forest Green and Natural Brown would be AWESOME!
