Colors

I saw cream with cinnamon interior at pebble Beach concourse - looked stunning but probably suited my wife more than me

Out of the combos you have listed, I personally like the Ruby Red / Beige car. Cream White would be my second choice, although I think the full red interior might be a bit 'loud'...

Ok -- strictly personal preference, no flame please , and I am NOT critical of anyone who might have one of the 3 choices!

1. Cream white/full red. Might be a little too effeminate. Perhaps best for a Cadillac, from the 50's? Not my idea of sports car color.
2. Teracotta is a love/hate leather. You either hate this or love this color. Unless mixed half and half with black leather (the "deviated" option?), this is another interior that is rather loud and might be hurtful to the eyes. I have always TRIED to like Teracotta.
3. Ruby red/beige: Strong and beautiful to me. My choice BY FAR of the 3 cars listed. Stunning, drop dead gorgeous, and yummy.

In the end your question is very difficult because if you like black exterior, you are not going to take the ruby red car even if you don't like teracotta that much? And if you like teracotta, then my opinion is totally useless.
Kidding aside, if you are a seasoned veteran, then never mind, but if you are new to Porsche colors, make very sure you look at the red and teracotta interiors repeatedly and know for sure that you could tolerate these colors.

I'm with Can on this one...Ruby/Beige would be a stunner.

We have a white Audi in our home fleet, and it's a ***** to clean. Just so hard. And cream white - eh - not for me. Black is a great clean color, it's just never clean.

But beyond what we all think, have you seen each of the combos in person? Does your heart beat faster around one of them more than the others?

Play out this scenario: if you were driving down the road in the white one, and the ruby one was coming the other way, would you wish......?
