1) Shark blue or Guards Red? Shark blue is a special and kind of cool color, and the fact that it was used as the GT3 launch color gives it some cachet. But I'm not going to lie, it's not my favorite blue, and I haven't seen it in person. If I ordered it, it would be a leap of faith that I'd eventually come to like it.

Guards red is classic, and $2500 cheaper. It's not particularly special, though, and I've got two other red(ish) cars.

Carmine is out because while I mildly prefer it to Guards, I don't prefer it $2500 worth. The other colors are all out, too, for various reasons--it's really down to Guards Red or Shark Blue.

1) Ventilated seats, yay or nay? Getting those means no alcantara seat centers, which may be better, actually, but I kind of like those for the same reason I like the cloth seats in the ZHP; they're part of what's special about the GTS. I think ventilated seats would be nice to have in a convertible, though.

Anyway, not going to say it's keeping me up nights, but it is, a little.

I vote Shark Blue over GR. Also get the ventilated seats.

shark blue. easy.

Yep, Shark Blue… If Carmine was an option it would certainly make the choice more difficult.

BTW, what is up with the headless torso in that shark blue photo?

I'd say Shark Blue. It does remind me of Estoril.

I do love Lava Orange, but it may not be different enough from GR to be worth paying for.

or Python Green if that's a possibility

I am drawn to that, too, even though it seems a little crazy.

I just am not feeling that green.

The orange is kind of neat but a little too safety cone for me.

I'd love to see shark blue in person but there's so little inventory around that it's hard to find.

It would look great with a blue top.

And to clyde's point...yes, I am also worried about it being trendy. Jaguar used a similar color recently, and Cadillac has, as well.
