Why are there only these few exterior colors for Macan?

I wish Porsche would make all the black plastic go away -- the crinkled up mess of unfinished plastic has gotten out of control on the Macan especially. At least paint it properly like any reliable automaker should. ...and dont' get me started on the useless side blades. I don't need plastic ballast hanging off the doors, thank you very much Porsche.

I did it piecemeal so I am afraid to add up the cost but it was well worth it in the end. The one part I actually haven't swapped/painted is the side blades. I had them ready to install but on a black car, I felt those were needed to pull the eye down a bit. What I did do was add a black plastic dye so that the finish is a much richer dark plastic than the standard grey color that is not fitting with a car at this price point.

Wishing didn't work for me so in my first few months of ownership I just took it upon myself to professionally paint or source paintable, OE-looking metal covers for nearly every plastic exterior part.
