I have been a proud owner of a Slate Grey Metallic 997 Turbo since August/September time frame... Today I just learned, after a little questioning and research, that I have been the clueless owner of a Atlas Grey 997 Turbo!

 

hey, you got a grey turbo...don't worry...be happy

 

slate grey is nicer... too bad!

 

I bought it for the color. Apparently I didn't know what it was called though!

 

Atlas grey FTW!

 

Had I seen Atlas gray in person...would have owned it.

Nice colour choice!

 

That's funny.

 

Atlas is one of the coolest colors they have ever put out IMHO

 

All good!!!!!

 

I thought i was a proud owner of a Atlas Grey because my car looks like black but in my documents the car is listed as grey.
This week i found out it's Basalt Black (C9Z) and i have to change the documents of the car before the police catches me again.

in my defense, it looks greyish compared to a black merc. Maybe it needs a wash

 

I feel much better now knowing I'm not the only one! You figure you can trust what the dealer tells you!

 

It can gray in the dirt areas. It sure is pretty when you clean it up...lol

 

Its not that the dealer would be lying to you in this case, but just that they don't know any better. I find that when I am looking into a car, I do a lot of research on it. And when I go to the dealers to test drive it, they usually know less than I do. If they took the time to be more competent about the cars they are selling than they would have more of a following, since they would be so rare and special.
Anyway, gray is classy in whatever shade.

 

I'm interested in hearing about the color police in Portugal that w00zy mentioned

 

The car is black but the paperwork says it's grey. That's a problem specially because my car is imported from Germany but the chassis is ROW. The police may think it's stolen although all the numbers (VIN) are OK. They have reasons to apprehend the car for inspection.
I still have to change all the paperwork but i'm lazy
