The new car search has begun but it's not going well.
It looks like it's still fairly hard to get a Turbo. There are some out there but not really what I am looking for. Just out of curiosity, how does Meteor Gray, Slate Gray and Seal Gray compare? Is Seal Gray gone for 08?

Meteor is very nice, if you like Seal, you should like Meteor. Slate is darker and like Arling said has a deep brown tint. You should look into Atlas, it is such a dark deep gray! But meteor is VERY nice!

Just great Felix, a link to a car that has the color listed as "gray". 
If I had to guess, I would say Atlas Gray? What's the deal with buying a new car out of state, isn't there some kind of restriction for bringing it into CA or are they emissions legal for all states now?

Can't even tell if it has sport chrono because of the wheel. I really like Atlas if this is Atlas.

Shazam! Lots of eye candy on this site, thanks for the link Felix. For some reason, I like this angle!
The car looks great until this! The ad states the wheels were $10k and they look like they were painted flat black with a spray can.

I'm really happy with my slate TT. Close to Meteor but I think slate has a few more different hues to it depending on the light, while meteor is a bit more "consistent" if that makes sense.
slate is difficult to photograph but here are a couple.

Of the grays, IMHO, atlas (more blue/purple-ish) and slate (more brown-ish) are more striking than meteor...which kinda looks a little dull to me. I was all set to purchase an atlas gray turbo until Porsche made atlas a "special color" for 2008.
FWIW, my dealer, Napleton Porsche, has 2 turbo coupes in stock. A basalt black one and a GT silver one.
