I always thought Estoril was lighter than Voodoo, which to me, has a really rich tone. I would compare Estoril more to Riviera.

Shark blue is a nice color.

I think the front end of the 991.1 and the turbo + GT cars is a lot better looking than the base .2 cars. It's my least favorite design element on my car. The base .2 lower facia features slant down and in vs down and out on the .1 and special .2s and I think it makes it look much less sporty.



I've often contemplated putting a speedster front bumper on mine. As with all things P-Car it is extrordinarily expensive and complicated.

I can't help it that Porsche occasionally has poor taste.

I definitely saw Shark Blue on a Rav4 hybrid while walking the dog yesterday evening.

See, I was going to make a joke about Toyota's "Blue Flame," but I think it's a lot closer to Riviera and Miami than to Shark.

Voodoo blue

Same name as the porsche color but does that mean it is the same?

I think Clyde's right on that, though in isolation it certainly is reminiscent of any of the three.

I have no interest in RAV4s, but I'm glad Toyota is offering in them (and people seem to be buying them!) in a color other than silver, grey, or beige.
