Yeah - but that picture. Its kind of like when you go out to a friend's party and are excited to bring your new solid 8-9 girlfriend. You walk into the party with her draped on your arm, you are smiling ear to ear, and then your best friend says, "Hey - I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend, you might recognize her - she's been in a couple of movies. John, meet Charlize."

Only if you don't think of Charlize like I do. I considered using Gisele but I personally don't consider her a 10 (or at least not a 10+). I am sure Bo Derek would have gone over most people's head (since we aren't in the over 40 thread). Should I have used Megan Fox instead?

I agree that Megan Fox is a solid 8.

Indeed Porsche had more time and money to validate their car colour-palette. I prefer Neptune blue similar above the alternative GR colours.

Surprisingly Neptune (Blue/Magenta shifted) on the 86 looks better to my eye than Miami (green/teal shit) on the Porsche.

Different strokes - obviously. But I think that Porsche is drop dead gorgeous. It almost makes the Neptune look "ordinary" in comparison. Not meant to be a dig on Neptune - I have one built and waiting at a dock in Japan as we speak - but that color is pretty wow to me (not to mention the car itself).

Agreed. Miami blue wows me every time I see it IRL. |

Having seen both, I'm delighted to say that I also find Neptune Blue better.

i dropped by a dealership recently and got a quick look at a neptune GR86 and a silver GR86.
-I think the redesign actually makes the car look a little bigger than the first gen (I dont think it is in anyway larger) -The extended duckbill spoiler doesnt look as awkwardly big and long in person than in photos. So im ok with it. -Neptune looks good on this car, i couldnt say the same about it on the first gen (it looked good in some angles and didnt look right in others) |
