Hi ecentrik - someone else out there who feels everyman and his dog has silver or grey! I wanted Orient red metallic - so they stopped it! I've seen Carmon red - on dealer's forecourt -bit dark for me. Hopefully new car, new colours. Isn't Carmon red currently a "standard" metallic choice? I've thought about seal grey / blue interior / blue roof but not sure about the combination. Cobalt blue / Zenith blue nice but GBP1500! Orient red not even on special list! Hope the price for new Boxster - even with 280bhp not too much of an increase on current car. I guess with Z4 (even if it is awful) and new SLK (tart cart) they can't ramp the price too much.
