First = Arctic/Terra Cotta = Classic, IMHO!
Next one? Won't care as much what it looks like...my first drive in one and I had to "get" it.
The balance, the tip-in point (I just got it and am cracking up at the tendency to want to tip in early)...I just didn't "get" it until I drove it. (Then I got it.)
This is a real "driving machine" to me. Color is less important when it delivers on feel like this (or I am just telling myself that right now).
That said, I really love the silver and the way it looks with a color interior...
But I had a car with a black exterior for about a decade and didn't want a black Boxster...until I saw a 986forum member with a black hardtop! Oh, that looks good!
Now, how I feel about the driving feel/balance combined with the way the cars look on this forum and I don't want to count out any color.
(BTW, the Dangermobile has some really nice wheels...sorry for the OT.)
Now for the "fair and balanced" part of the review...as a previous owner of an Alfa (yes, the 986 feels SO much better) the italians know how to do red. And the Midnight Blue is a real sleeper to me on the Boxster (which is not bad for flying under the radar)...but I would like it with a dunkel brown vs. a light tan interior.
I'm just happy that I'm really digging the orange and on the Boxster now!
Attached is an image of me trying to look nonchalant the day I drove my Arctic Silver (Used) Boxster home.
