While it's not the shirt color I instinctively reach for on the rack, I think your car looks great. On the other hand, many years ago I was given a super deal on a used MB 450 SLC in Aztec Gold (very similar) with black interior. Shortly thereafter, it became a black on black!

I have an arctic silver c2s and I am sick of silver. My last 4 cars were silver and I am just burned out. I am a bit color blind but see blues very well and I am thinking of ordering or finding a Mexico Blue car. I always thought that is a cool color but like I said I am color challenged. One of my 356's is sky blue with red interior. Most people think this a wierd combo but it looks really good in person.

I checked into this very recently; if you are looking for a 997.2 C2S coupe in Mexico Blue, there are none to be had nationwide at this time. Your only option is to order one.

Dave,
Thanks for the information. I have been searching a bit and have found nothing either. I heard there was one recently in San Diego at Pioneer but it was a 4s and is not there anymore anyway according to their inventory.

Pardon me for changing the color, but I saw an interesting car today. C2S in Metallic Brown with brown natural leather and wood accents on the steering wheel and gear shift. I gotta tell you, it was very rich looking. I didn't think wood belonged in a sports car, but I've seen in in GT's, too.

There is/was a 2s coupe at Pioneer in Baltic Blue; sticker was around $108k...just came in a couple of weeks ago. According to their current website info, it is still in stock.

We all know it; it's already been said. The lines are classic, so well-proportioned and they're just a piece of art that looks delightful in virtually every color! I swear, if I could, I'd park it in the living room each night!

White by far is my favorite in this car, just so clean and pure....followed by Silver, Grey, Black....very conservative... but again this car does look amazing in all colors!

+1. I only own white cars (almost). Love the crisp and clean look. So Carrera White was the only choice when I was buying my used 997S Cab. I had to have one shipped from Florida to get what I wanted. I'm amazed how many people comment when stopped at a light how great it looks (I already knew that!). White is relative rare (at least around here) and with the black bits and pieces it really pops.
