Some photos. Love the color - the options, especially the sport design wheels, litronic headlights, and the painted roll bar / trim + aero package and sport exhaust. Car sounds amazing above 5.5k rpm... Had the IMS upgraded and the car is fully sorted. I really like the Nephrite Green interior (it has plenty of black and silver accents and contrast throughout). Very happy with the addition so far.

Nice!
there was a white one with that interior about a year ago in Phoenix. It sold really cheap the first time around, maybe because of the green, then came up again with a huge markup. Kind of wish I’d jumped on it.

And a couple more with a proper camera.
Put a solid 100 miles on the car today. Awesome exhaust note, lots of fun, happy I bought it!

Well, well it doesn't look too bad that green colour!
Silver is a "quiet" colour and helps to keep the whole package less dramatic and "odd" than one would think.
I think I have moved from considering the green interior semi ugly to now consering it "unusual, but not without charme".

It is oddly sporting, at least with the right package of options and the mix of the colors (there is plenty of black and silver in the interior to offset). I am of course biased but I went into it originally assuming it was a near never, not going to consider, ugh, yeck, meh... and it changed to "wow, love the car as a whole... including with the interior color..."
Really do love the car as a whole too. Driving it every moment I get and it has such great balance... a truly great sports car based on my first few days impressions. Of course have driven other Caymans and Boxsters of various generations but wow, do I ever prefer this over the very latest iterations. Night and day better driving experience and a design that is aging spectacularly well.
