    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.


    Re: 997 facelift

    Gents, do you really think it looks that bad?

    So what do you think about this one...

    Re: 997 facelift

    another view...

    Re: 997 facelift

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

    I really love it, and I think its going to look great when seeing for real, very sporty, and different to the rest !!
    Talking about this colour, it will go in my top of the list for our order !!

    Reminds me too much of 1980s kitchen supplies and appliances.

    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

    I would gauess by Thursday late night or Friday we should be able to see some official pictures.

    Unless Porsche got pissed off at the PDF doc that leaked out and are changing the date .

    Re: 997 facelift

    So is the Carrera Classic wheel the new standard one?

    Re: 997 facelift

    AARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............I WANT TO SEE THE RED STRIP..........AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

    Re: 997 facelift

    And where is the damm aqua blue?

    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.

    Re: 997 facelift

    the offwhite or taxi white or whatever u call it actually looks nice in reality. A very nice change to the carrarawhite which was simply killed over here...
    here some pics made yesterday walking by the lot at porsche. its already full of facelifts!

    Re: 997 facelift

    another one..

    Re: 997 facelift

    and one with pretty nice new wheels..the one next to the targa on the left...

    Re: 997 facelift

    I like the wheels on the Targa!
    Actually , I love those wheels on any of the Porsche models.

    Re: 997 facelift

    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

    Re: 997 facelift

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

    Re: 997 facelift

    whats with the black thing under the rear lights - is this also tape or disguise?
