    That name pretty much sums it up. The colour looks very unflattering when the car isn't super clean. I pray to god what we'll never have to see a Cayenne in that colour.

    I agree with you Rossi.
    The 997 in this color looks unusual , but not ugly by any stretch of the imagination.

    I painted my mum's kitchen this colour in 1991 - back then it was the "in" colour.

    If anyone buys this colour and gets stone chips - mail me and I'll send you a bottle of "touch up" paint as I think I still have some in my garage.

    Lol. Seriously though, that colour has no business on a Porsche. It might make a Fiat 500 or a Mini Cooper look cute as a biscuit but doesn't have a place in the world of sports cars.

    I respect everyone's opinion, in fact, when talking about colours, there are no right choices, everyone has their own taste.....but how can you already dislike this colour, withou even seeing it for real???, I mean, this is not an extravagant colour that really wakes up attention, its a sporty colour, and i think it will look great , specially with the rims in black or gunmetal....

    I'm not defending the colour, but I cant understand why most of you guys, dislike already this colour....I mean....its not pink or purple !!!, lol

    by the way, tomorrow (Thursday), what would be the final count down for official pics???....2/3days ???

    Re: 997 facelift

    Hmmm, don't think porsche is pushing back the date just because of a leaked pdf.
    BTW, that color isn't too bad, (the creme) th problem is that it doesn't go well with the color of the rims... whatever color you choose, it will alwayz look awkward.

    thanks rantanplan !!!

    will the rear lights be all red?, and why is the rear center, covered with that white plastic?, 9964s red stripe???

    I also love those wheels, they look very nice !!!

    I knew that caffe latte colour would be nice !

    btw man, you should have pulled off those stickers at the rear lights, like that we finish with all the mystery !!LOL

    That white tape does not look like it is covering any "Red Stripe". It looks like it is just plastered over the model designation.
