Help with new Targa Colors
Good Morning!
Ive never owned a 911 before and to be honest I prefer the size and style of the early 1970's, but Im not ready to do a classic weekend under the car thing and the new 911 is not exactly a bad looking car, just a bit big and GT ish. However, the Targa is very good looking and so I have decided on it, although tempted by the new AM vantage, but maybe best wait until they iron out early issues they may well have with this very new car. So I accept the targa is not going to give me the same thrills as my caterham, very few cars will, not even a Cayman GT4, but anyway.. on to the point.
These are my two build options and I would appreciate opinions on Color Combos, but preferably from those having seen the actual colors in person as they look quite different than on the configurator. I guess I am looking mainly at the color of the roof and interior. I think a blue roof goes well with a blue/grey exterior and a brown roof goes well with crayon, which is almost a creamy extremely light brown color. In terms of the options, well thats just personal choice and wont effect me too much. I was thinking distance control, but as someone once said, for less than about 15k miles a year, I dont think its worth it and dont think it will interest on resale that much. Rear wheel steering is another thing that I thought of, but for a targa, hardly necessary and the turning circle at low speeds is reduced only very slightly, maybe 7%. Sports exhaust on a targa, again a luxury I wont use much, I have enough exhaust noise on the caterham with no radio.
in terms of the roof, yes black is a safe bet, but a bit boring.... I just wonder how many would be put off by these combinations, I think they go well....
And for your interest, in the UK< there are no discounts to be had at all, they can sell double the cars they actually do.
