Changed By: Laz Change Date: January 01, 2011 11:21AM I think the Panamera connection is
that Platinum's warmth (?) is more evocative of a burnished, wood-grain luxury and elegance, as contrasted with the more machine-like neutral silvers for the sports cars. Meteor Grey is nice, and I might eventually go with it next time around, but Seal Grey is more to my liking. It works well with a blue interior, whereas Meteor with blue would probably clash. And as I've said before, GT Silver, which is apparently neutral/cold and darker than Arctic (still available?) ought to be one of the $710 options.
By the way, it'd be great if Porsche offered Alcantara just for the top of the dash as it would help minimize reflections. (One reason I would stay away from the lighter interiors.) I got this idea from Ferraris having black felt or something on their dash tops many years ago.
