A PDK would be a marriage breaker for *me*. I just can't, can't, can't wrap my brain around a roadster with an automatic-- I guess I'm a dinosaur. I've never owned an automatic (my wife's RDX is solely hers, thankyouverymuch), and don't intend to start now.

Long story short, she had an early-gen MT Miata. She got tired of it and decided that she was out of the MT game as every car she'd owned to date was a MT.

So, we sell the MT Miata and her MT Speed 3 and get her a nice Acura RDX-- her "little old lady" vehicle (in her words).

You see where this is going, don't you?

Barely a year later, it's "I *miss* my Miata, and automatics are *boring*."

So, now she has her MT Miata RF-GT and loves it.

So, a MT Boxster is definitely the way we're going to go.

For my sanity if no other reason!

Weirdly enough? She *likes* the grey.

I told her "No white, no black-- other than that, I don't care."

Porsche silvers are great. Mine is Dolomite Silver Metallic and I love it. GT Silver is also good. Azzurro Thetys is a great PTS color on the silver spectrum. Quartzite is OK.

Porsche metallic colors have a large quantity of small size flake or sparkle material which makes them gleam in the sun, more attractively imo than MB and BMW metallic colors.

PTS colors are uncommon to find in preowned cars.
