Is Aqua Blue that bad?

Looking around for a good deal on a PDK 997 and I couldn't help but notice that the market is awash with aqua/stone 09's. They are heavily discounted. Also quite a few of the greens. Is the Aqua really that bad or did they just overproduce them?

It's a beautiful 911 color. The world is awash in 911 gray/black cars.

I just talked to a dealer and he told me that it is launch car color of the 09 cabs- that explains the number of them on the market. Still would like opinions...

I am a fan of Aqua Blue as well. I believe it looks great on a cab (e.g. Boxster, 911 cab.)

Yep, aqua blue looks great to me. I promised myself that my next 911 will be either Blue or Red.

This car (^) was the runner up when I was buying my TT. Beautiful specimen, indeed! Although, I decided to go with a virgin carrara white/black instead. The dealer can CPO that car as well for about 3k -- this can be an excellent buy if somebody is shopping.

I have seen those aqua cabs and many of them are PDK cars without sport chrono . That's why so many are left .It's not the color but the poop option combination.

The green cars also are so abundant . The options on the green car are pretty good but the color never took off .

It's hard for dealerships to sell a launch car where each dealership was given four of the same car . Especially if the options aren't great . The base 997 white also had no chrono with 4 cars at each dealership.

The 05 997S launch car in black with ceramics is the best launch car I have ever seen .

Looks great but it will grow old on you after 3 months. A little too blue. I have midnight blue which is not a striking but enjoyable year after year.

It is also of note that every one here that loves the blue owns every color but blue. Nuf said

Makes sense. I just looked through the option spec- no sports chrono but ventilated seats? The '05 launch cars had PCCB's and adaptive sport seats which made them special.

I love Aqua/Cobalt Blue. Would have been my first choice of color, but it's so hard to find on any P-car, let alone on a Targa!
