Thank you for the welcome back. In reply to your posts, the color is actually "Amaranth Red Metallic", a color I had never heard of until I saw this car. Under certain light conditions, it can easily be mistaken for other reds, particularly carmine, but to my eye, carmine has a little more orange in it. The option list is short: PDK, 20-inch Carrera 2 wheels, infotainment package with Bose sound system, convenience package (basically two-zone AC and heated seats), multi-function steering wheel, and rear parking assist. That's it, but of course the main point of this car is the driving experience, the sound, and the open-top possibilities for the nice weather. Those are standard in all of these cars!
I did know about the reflections from light-colored interiors (my previous Boxster had sand beige upholstery as well), so I was already well prepared with a set of polarized sunglasses. In fact, you can see the reflection in the picture of the interior that I posted above.
Now, let the last vestiges of cold weather disappear into history, and let's get out there in the warmth and sun!
