I'm actually seriously pissed off right now with Porsche...
I chose the stonegrey because they said there was no white metallic available within reasonable time (that was roughly a month ago). Couple of weeks later there's a metallic white turbo S on the Frankfurt motorshow and that car looked absolutely awesome!
They just lied to me! And I'm not happy with that. I am really thinking of canceling the car so they can stick their 911 in a place where no light ever shines.

Excited! Ordered 50th Edition, slated for a nov / dec build and delivery in Jan. Exactly what I wanted and feel the wide body / powerkit and all the other features makes it a unique car so it works great for me and what I’m after. Ordered in Geyser Grey Metallic, manual 7sp, Black/Dark Silver, PDCC w/PASM, dimming mirrors, seat heating, luggage net, light design package, sunroof, Bose, multifunction steering, adaptive sports seats plus, fire extinguisher, Extended leather pkg,.

I've been to Zuffenhausen yesterday, had a nice conversation with two people from the exclusive department. They made their apologies and said it was not correct how they informed me, but they didn't have the right information at that point. The showcars are managed by a special team and they didn't take notice that the oryx white was already checked for feasibillty. (It wasn't on the PTS list). If that's true or not, I don't know of course, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and accepted their apologies.
Despite that, the color of my car coudn't be changed anymore. The only thing they could do is cancel the order and make a new one in oryx white and they should try to get that order on the same production date, so that it didn't have to go to the back of the line.
I asked them to cancel the car, which they did, but I didn't place a new order.
I'm gonna wait untill the Targa is introduced and then I will make my final decision on what car I will order. It may be a C4S, a Targa 4S or maybe even a Turbo. I just don't know right now... Didn't have these options when I made my decision to order a 991.
I know it will take more time agian, but since I've been waiting that long, those two or three months don't make the difference anymore. Still have my Boxster so I'm not P-car-less...
One thing is 90% sure... My car will be Oryx White Pearl (except when I decide to order a turbo... That will be a dark color)
Now back on-topic... And sorry for hi-jacking this thread.
