Sold my Caymans S, will get 2009 911 next year after the initial hype dies down

my Cayman S was atlas grey and it looked great even between washes

But atlas grey has gone up in price

considering 911 in white. 18" std wheels, Adap sport seats, PDK, Bluetooth and ipod and maybe vent seats if not too expensive

What do you guys think of 911 in White? or Black ( looks good in black but maintenance is going to be painful with all the swirl marks showing from automated car washes )

First of all. I would stay away automatic car washes

Can you get one in red? I've always liked 911s in red.

I had a Cayman S in Germany, nice car but not a Carrera. I think the white is easier to maintain, but the black looks great when clean. Personally the Gray's are easy to maintain looking clean even when dirty.

That sounds real sweet. I'd say get it in white. I currently have a cayman s in white and have booked a 2009 carrera s, will be planning to do a swap when the time comes. I think white is great. Easy to maintain, and has that classy neat look. Black needs a lot of maintaining however nothing beats it when it is washed.

I love my basalt black. Very easy to maintain, a 5 minute or less wipe down after every ride with a damp and dry microfiber towel keeps it looking like new.

+1 I have a C4 in Guards Red. It isn't subtle, but I like it more and more every day. I use the std 18" wheels for snows and have 19" turbo wheels for summer.
