I’m now considering dolomite to replace my sapphire gts
I would think that is very unlikely given it is the launch colour of the current Halo car to then put it on their almost bottom of the range car

That’s just what he said, I mentioned I was thinking of Miami blue and he mentioned they were expecting it to be dropped in favour of shark

I saw a Macan in Miami blue the other day, looked great.

They know nothing really - my exec says I know more than him!
Yes, one of the sales execs I was talking to at the time of my order in late 2018 regularly complain Porsche just did not give them enough advance info and that just lead to them doing the sort of speculation we do. In August 2018 some of them were saying no more 3 litre Macan's, 2019 Macan S due to have 4cyl Golf R engine

Noticed that my car was referred to when Night Blue mentioned.
I have to say that after having the car for a while, I like the colour more and more. It's v cool in the sunshine, with that glint making it a lot brighter and almost purple-y sometimes. Here's a few other pics

I had a look at the pictures you posted - thanks for making them available.
The colour seems to change depending on the light.
It appears to be a solid darker blue in the picture on your driveway, and a slightly lighter metallic blue in others.
BTW - I'm impressed at how you clean two cars at once! It takes me hours to clean just one!

It doesn't show available in Canada or US any longer.

Mamba Green is available but has been withdrawn from Europe builds.
