Default Mexico Blue?

Since this is a more common color in GT land, I thought I would ask you guys for input. My wife is looking at a Panamera S in PTS Mexico Blue. Trying to decide between that and a Carmine Red GTS. I love the Mexico Blue on the GT's, but do you think the Mexico Blue on a Pano will get old?

That looks great, and I think that's the first time I've ever said that about a Panamera.

If it were a Mexico Blue Panamera GTS it would be appropriate, on the S, not so much.

"...on the S, not so much"...

That was kind of how I was leaning. I would almost rather order a PTS Pano GTS in Dolphin Grey or something. I like the idea of a PTS color, but a PTS Mexico Blue in an S just seems maybe a bit off?

I had always thought it would look cool on a Panamera. Love Mexico Blue, but it has to be an aggressive spec and that car looks aggressive with the aerokit but I think they wasted a lot of useful options.

A Dolphin Grey GTS would look awesome!

I love blues! Seems like a miss on this car though - no sport chrono plus? no sport exhaust? Otherwise, the options seem pretty good. would be better on a GTS.

I think Slate Gray metallic on a Pana with black wheels would be a real looker.

My sense is that the Panemera has a bit too much sheet metal for that color, especially if it's not a GTS or Turbo.

Ok, so far it is 2 for the mexico blue / 4 against. I would swap the wheels black wheels if I bought the car - but it looks like based on this feedback I may just order a PTS 2013 Fashion Grey GTS!

I tried to convince my wife just to get a GT3 RS so we could have two, but she didn't think "bench" seating for the kids was a good idea.

Dolphin Grey! ... you might as well order it with "desert disruptive pattern" camouflage! - I think DG would look like someone had primer coated the whole car prior to a re-spray!



If you can custom order a GTS ... do that ... and Euro Delivery!
