Aqua and cobalt are similar enough that I'm not sure I could tell them apart if they weren't parked nose to nose.

Here's an aqua GT3, which...I've got to be honest, that's just about the perfect thing.

I agree. But Aqua is what was available on the 987.2 IIRC.

We'd own one if we could have found one with a manual transmission.

Love Aqua. I give it a slight edge over cobalt. Both are awesome. If I run across one before I'm supposed to I might pull the trigger.

For now, it's just a damn sea of black 987.2S's.
