996TT Perception

996TT Perception
Let’s discuss how prudent is 996TT for business?
How do you think clients perceive you?
Mine is yellow and I must say I sometimes feel I might be shooting myself in a foot with the executives who drive Audi’s A6 TDI.
If I see a guy in a great car, I always think; good for you man, but I get the feeling that 996TT can create more envy and denials than opportunities?
Chime in, experiences, thought…

It's hard to get respect in a yellow car, unless you're driving a lambo it seems. Don't get me wrong, he has an amazing car, but, he chose a "look at me colour" on a car that little people understand to be great. He wants attention for the colour of his car and doesn't seem to be getting it.

I think it does good for our business. My business partner drops that I own one every chance he can get. Porsche = success. We are a Internet / Marketing Agency and our clients want success. Who wants to go with a loser?
Now I can see the opposite effect depending on your business. If you are in the paper business or some other consumable, people dont care and will just think they are overpaying for example.
My 2 cents.
BTW, yellow is HOT!

Yeah right Audi A6 TDI (black) and not being envious because of a 996TT colour? So you would prefer the Audi? Comon dude!

My only point is, had you picked another colour, IMO, you'd be getting the respect/jealousy you are looking for. I can't be jealous of a guy driving a 996 Turbo, black, silver or grey is where you should be for that.
Yellow has it's place, but it isn't with respect for the car, it's with fun on the PCH, or driving down Hollywood Blvd. yellin look at me.

And ok, what would you think if a (perfectly professional businessman top in its field) rolls in with a yellow 911?
How would you judge?

I can tell you where I work that folks who drive Porsche aren't exactly well liked. I have seen a few in the parking lot including one who's tag read something like "paid cash" and there's noticeable resentment when they're mentioned around the water cooler. I am a contractor and I work with Govt. folks. When they see a nice car like this hackles raise - especially with a personalized tag that's so in your face. I have been very quiet about my desire to own one as a result and make sure to note that I'm going to buy used if I do mention it at all. Mercedes, Lexus, and some other nice marques are noted too but not to the same degree of scrutiny as they're more common. Many folks knew my Supra too but I didn't ever hear grumbling other than it rattled windows when I'd leave. Considering what many new cars go for and prices for used 911 I think this resentment is a little silly but perceptions are what they are.....
