The brown turbo will look a lot better when the new owner installs clear side markers... :-)

Default It's not easy being green...

Funny how Aston Martins, Bentleys and Jaguars look terrific in green, but Porsche's supposedly don't.

I saw an amazing Dark Olive 997 + Natural Brown at the Chicago Auto Show and it was very sharp.

The pics of the Malachite Green Turbo Cab in Christophorus look pretty good too.

I'll take either green for my next car - bored with black and bored with gray - but nix the wood and add some CF - and do a Natural Brown or Natural Gray interior.

Here is the 'corrected' shot of Black/Carrera Red:

Dealers just don't take good photos.

Eric - Agreed! The "original" pic in your first post (the 1st pic below) is way too bright compared to the sample of Carrera Red leather I saw at the dealership. The second pic you posted (the 2nd pic below) is a MUCH better likeness of the leather sample I saw at the dealership.

I like the Malachite Green a lot.

None of those colors really appeal to me. The green does have some potential, though!
