Love the Nordic Gold. Great contrast with the interior.
Drive it in good health.

To me PDK is a negative, the car is driving you...I rather drive a sports car, auto's are for luxury cars. JMHO

It's always nice to see some lively colors back on the roads again!

Unique color, but a cool one. +1 for PDK comment. Normal only for cruising, SC for fun

+1 - if there would have been a Nordic Gold on the lot when I got my car, or any actual "colors" for that matter, it would have been a much harder decision - such a shame that dealers don't spice it up a bit with the "spec" cars.

When I was buying my car last Fall I could not find a Guards Red 997 in any of the 5 dealerships I visited. One sales guy told me there is no market in the Northeast for the nice colors like blue, red, gold, green etc. Most of the dealerships in this area stick to various grays and black. I was lucky to find a midnight metallic blue. My next Porsche will be Orange. I plan on ordering a new Pcar a few years into the 991 series.

Right, Midnight Blue is an "exotic" color here, Basalt Black is very adventurous, and Macadamia - oh, man, wild-and-crazy.....
