Nice blue. Is that black or blue grill? Is it standard?

I am going with white. I think the black looks sharper, but my husband's Tahoe is black and it looks dirty after a ride home from the car wash.

My VW Touareg is white, it is the first white car that I have owned, and I am surprised how much I like it.

I find the silvers/greys really blah, am not a fan of green, and have a weird 'thing' that luxury/expensive cars shouldn't be the color of smarties (smarties--the chocolate ones in Canada--like m&m's).

Porsches are designed by prodigious German engineers, they dont base the colors on smarties!

Or do they?


And thanks for teaching me my fact for the day, never realized there are no smarties in USA (insert joke here), confirmed on Wikipedia!

Correct me if I am wrong Zorba, but I seem to remember there was a candy called "smarties" in Cali, but it was just a candy, not bright coloured candy shells and no chocolate?

I sort of like the high visibility colours on sport cars and even some SUVs, but I would not be likely to own one.

To me black is king. ....but to each his own. That why they have a colour palette to choose from. Go with whatever tickles your fancy.

I am debating on dark blue , the new mahogany or silver. Whichever color, I am adding the painted wheel arches. I can not stand that black strip over the wheels.

Speed21, the 911 in your profile pic is a nice silver or is it grey?

It's very easy once you've seen both of your color choices in person

I should have stated that I have no problem with sports cars matching smarties, just not luxury cars or SUV's. Just a thing I have. Although it isn't across the board always and forever, it is just a general feeling I have.

And thanks for teaching me my fact for the day, never realized there are no smarties in USA (insert joke here), confirmed on Wikipedia!
I know, right. I miss smarties sometimes. M&M's just don't cut it.

Yes, that's correct. We have those in Canada too they are called 'Rockets'.

Yep, 'Rockets'!
