Default 997 TT Colors?

What color combination is everyone ordering their 997TT's in?

I ordered Black on Black. Couldn't decide between that or Silver?

Go ahead, be one of the 10%.....you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a silver or black Turbo Carrera.....

This is my LAST black Pcar I agree way to hard to keep clean. I would get another black car if I was not using it every day for work. Nothing looks better than a beautiful black Pcar.

The new blue (forget the name) that is currently available only on the Cayenne Turbo S would be a nice choice IMHO.

I'm going with Slate Gray ext with black int or maybe cocoa. Alternative would be GT silver/blk. I have silver now and I'd like something different. Agree with the dead cat statement. Love the slate, but GT silver might be cool. I need to see one in the sun to decide. Also, I would like to see Meteor Gray befor deciding. I have till late summer before ordering so maybe there will be some of the colors around to compare (except Meteor- won't be out till after Aug)

I ordered GT Metallic Silver with Black/Terracotta interior...lots of carbon and some leather trim. I have had a 997S in Arctic Silver (I think that's the color most of the new TT's are in the photos) with Stone Grey interior and have a 997S Cab in Carrera White/Blue Metropole with Sea Blue interior so thought I'd go with the darker silver and some wild interior this time.

cableguy, a black Porsche is georgous but mine gets dusty just looking at it. My black 987S is not a daily driver and it stays in the garage with a cover but I still spend more time cleaning it than I do driving it.

I would also stay away from Black. I have a Black Benz and love the car 5 minutes after I wash it, but after that it's dirty. Also, you will always have scratch marks on it. You get them from washing and drying the car.

Black isn't a color, it's a hobby.

What do you think of GT Silver with Grey? Is that too boaring? I'd prefer more contrasting inerior in Silver.
