I bought mine used and I don't know that I would have chosen Atlas Gray. But it is growing on me, especially in the sun.

Atlas really look more blue-ish than grey in almost all environments.

Seems that both colors tend to change tone in sun and shade. My Meteor Grey below.

The up charge for my wife's 06 C4S in Atlas Grey was $825.

I like the new stripe - goes great with the ADV1 wheels.

Meteor grey is a nice complementary color to alternative interior color choices like coccoa and natural brown too.

Weird to hear pro 997.2 sentiment in a thread on color choice. Time will tell if DFI causes the same carbon build up issues that BMW, Audi and others have seen in newer models. And of course X51 997.1S > base 997.2 in the power department

Back to colors, I like Atlas, but I'm not an impartial voter...

Wait until you see it in the rain, especially in the mountains or on the coast!

That package has to be unicorn territory. Atlas, natural brown leather and ceramic breaks. Can't be many of those rolling around.
