Default Graphite Blue metallic

I'm looking at a 911 (2017) that is Graphite Blue Metallic

From the people I've sampled most either love it or hate it. In person I was kind of underwhelmed by it. Online pics can look good or kind of "blah".

Definitely wouldn't be high on my list unless it was a hell of a deal / perfectly optioned for a used. Ordering new it wouldn't be in my top 3.

But color is one of those things that is HIGHLY personal. If you like it, go for it !!

Ha! I think I just looked at that car a couple weeks ago. Settled on night blue metallic (which was my first choice anyway).

I never heard of it, but based on the posted pictures think it is really very nice. Especially with the black trim. Actually I am very particular to car colors and generally do not care as much for metallic colors. For many years I would only buy a black, white or possibly red car. Some of the new Porsche colors are very nice though. I like this Graphite Blue although I cannot really see the metallic in the photos. Looks pretty subtle. I do own a Cayenne in Jet Black Metallic and I would have preferred the regular black but sometimes the right car comes along and color, unless you really dislike it, shouldn't be a deal breaker on an otherwise perfect car that is a good deal.

We are still undecided on the Graphite car...it's not an S...and I still don't know if the 17's have voice activated GPS, that and B/U camera are very important.
I'd also like a sport exhaust...
Sdo by the time we decide it'll probably get sold....
