Cream white is becoming more popular in Kuwait on P-cars.

I'd personally not buy one on two grounds:
1- I think it is a very feminine color. Proof: most buyers of Cream White in Kuwait are women.
2- Almost all Toyota Corolla taxi cabs in Kuwait are sporting a shade that is very very similar.

Wait... Get the combo you really have your heart set on.

I hope you are right. My wife chose the color. I am not 100% behind it. But I am taking a chance on her choice. She did tell me to order Ruby Red. but just couldn't get comfortable with the color of Int. I didn't want a total black Int. I have looked for pictures of Ice Blue I have yet to find one that I thought would be the actual color.

FWIW She did pick the color of my current car which I love. I wasn't sure of it but after seeing it I was glad we got it. But I want the Carbon Fiber. And Black is only color I have seen that I thought looked good. So the Black Blue Int works well with Ice Blue and Carbon works with Leather.

Of course once I press right pedal to floor it wont matter what color it is it will not look Feminine for too long as it runs off and leaves you in its dust

It's not feminine but it's not unique or limited. It is a new addition to the color range.

I agree it will be a new color. Wish I had a color that I could go for the paint to match. I am not a very good designer. Maybe. Next Time. Opps better not say that to loud. Yes dear is my last sports car wonder if she fell for it????? Boy is she dumb. Damn hope she doesn't read these posts LOL.

But I do doubt that I will ever see another Ice Blue Turbo S in my neck of the woods.

I believe the IBM will definitely be a low volume colour for Tubo S's to start with. There are not too many masochists, like me , prepared to wait 6 months longer for that colour.

Yes, it will be rare on 997. Interestingly, you can configure a Carrera or Cayman or even Boxter in IBM. I believe the exclusivity for Turbo S was only ever going to be until Sept build when it would be generally available on other Porsche models as a standard colour.

It's unique and limited in that you don't see many on the road...

Yes mhh, you are right about the IBM. My dealer offered me the opportunity to select a special colour FOC, plus goodies, and keep my original build slot but I'm sold on the IBM. Particulary since I selected the blue/black interior as well and IMO none of the special colours will complement this interior the way IBM does. So now the long wait.

Good point. The blue/black seats will definitely go best with IBM.
