Guards Red, you know you want it. And if it's a cab, get it and I'll buy it from you a year later.

Otherwise, I'd go Cobalt.

The guards red seem to fit the lines of the car really well.. But I'd still take artic silver regardless.

I'm having trouble deciding whether to go with Cobalt Blue or GT Silver. I stopped by the dealership and they had cars in both colors. Cobalt blue is nowhere as stunning in person as the pictures shown in the other "Cobalt blue" thread.

That is because its not in direct sun light

Also, the pictures in that other thread were pshopped I believe... so they are exaggerated a little.

I realize that...and I saw Cobalt blue under direct sunlight too and it's not that much different than under cloudy conditions. I also believe that GT silver is a timeless color too. I've convinced myself now haven't I?

Exactly - Cobalt is very disappointing compared to the publicity shots. Porsche need a bright, vibrant blue like Lamborghini have.
