I think that the green looks good on a Boxster. White on a Box is almost a non color plus it blends in with the snow in winter. 2 thumbs up for the green- British racing green would be pretty awesome.

I like the green, it reminds me of the old Triumphs, MG's and Karmann Ghias.

Looks much better, soucorp

Green on a 986 just doesn't look right to me. Looks good on older models, though.

I've seen Gen1 Caymans in Forrest Green and came close to buying one that was Olive Green. I liked the Olive color but am most partial to that other green that was avail in 08.

My 00 S is green with black interior. I didnt like the color at first but it has grown on me. I haven't seen another in my area.

I like white color car. It's a neutral color and always in style. The resale of white cars are generally in higher demand and more valuable than other colors, from my experience.

The green and red interiors seem to fade out awfully fast, don't they?

At least the green interiors don't turn pink when they fade.

I love green cars with tan interiors. I hope you find one and baby the paint!

OMG!

Did the guy have a minor stroke when he was checking off the int color box? Can you imagine the Germans building it? "He wants WHAT color? Are you sure? Better double check."

No accounting for taste.

There is one on Craigslist in Louisville, KY. The car is actually in Lexington, Ky. Looks great with low mileage. May have black leather though.

Had Porsche racing green and tan on the 997.2S Launch:





I really like the green, but usually stick with red(s) for Boxsters. Just my preference, though. Thought about, but never did get, an ELPHABA vanity plate (would have been more appropriate with a black interior). Having had tan on the interior for both my previous Boxster and the 911, I don't know that I'd go back to tan -- didn't like how it showed wear and don't feel like keeping up with it or spray painting it. I'm hoping the black interior will age better, but time will tell. Also, having the current car as a 3rd car, it's less likely to see wear... so, I'm not sure the comparison will be valid.

I don't know...tan has held up well over the years and 23k miles.

Seems like I've always had black, so this was a nice change.
