color choice. need some good opinion.

well, yellow and red is out of the question.
i had a yellow car and it was way 2 much attention that I needed (especially from the cops). Red is only reserved for Ferrari IMHO.

Then we have black - I swore never to buy black again. Every scratch shows up.

then we have silver - everyone and their mom has it.

I am left with these choices - seal gray atlas gray and white.

I am thinking of getting sample to color interior.
Now I know historically the white has one of the poorest resale value and also does not show the lines of the car very well.

Does anyone think it's a mistake to get white with red interior.

My next choice would be seal gray with red interior- which is leading by votes of various variable.

What color r u guys going with?

please advise.

Very hard to sell, tiring to live with and looks like crap after you've used it for awhile.

I vote grey with black interior or grey interior. I stopped at the dealer this afternoon on the way back from the beach(they were closed,but had 3 outside). The new 997 looks great in person. I am not ready to part with mine yet, but the car looks better than in the pictures.

How about Sea Blue for the interior. There have been a number of photos on this and other lists showing this color, and I think it looks great.

Cool

Silver is popular cause it's the easiest to keep clean.
You can't even tell it rained on it. It doesn't water spot.

Name someone's Mom who has a silver Porsche.

Arctic Silver/ Black with some carbon..
