    997 sighting: color problems, or an advantage?

    Sitting at the light minding my own business.

    Also stopped and facing me is an atlas grey 997.

    Even though I'm as hypoed up as the next guy here, I didn't even notice it til the side view as the light changed.

    I'm afraid the car looks kinda ordinary in that color from about a 20 degree angle.

    Any similar experiences?

    Something to think about: the car's styling from certain angles isn't overstated and kinda blends in (which is FINE with me!) the color you choose either reinforces this or not.

    when I saw the first one (couple days ago) which was going opposite direction from me looked very smooth, round and different it actually took me a second to realize that it was a 997 but looked good nevertheless.

    AFAIC, the more discrete and unobtrusive the car looks the better.
