Agreed. I think that Miami was probably a popular colour for the OPCs to order their showroom/demo 718s in too. :)

My Cayman was Agate, current SD is VG. I liked Agate, but it could look a bit 'brown' in some lights? Prefer VG now.

All I can say is V Grey with an Agate Grey interior suits me (+ the Good Lady) after spending loads of time visiting various OPC's to view as many colour combinations as possible! Some colours looked good at the dealers - but could I live with them day to day + some looked different in showroom to when seen outside!

I guess only you can really decide what's best for you - but well worth seeing as many options as you can before lock down.

Good luck !
Thanks! Yes agate interior is a no brainer for me, I loved it in my Cayman and will definitely be having it in a Macan! I am thinking Volcano with satin platinum wheels will look very stealthy and while looking sharp, will not stand out too much!

I notice nobody has yet suggested silver, which is actually becoming rarer on newer cars and I have yet to see a silver Macan... ever!!

Just an educated guess based on years of painful experience!

I changed my 2015 agate grey SD for a 2018 Volcano grey SD and prefer VG to agate. Agate does have a brownish tinge in certain daylight conditions.
2021. Macan 2.0 Gentian. 12/21
2019. 718 Boxster T Carrara white.
2018. Macan SD Volcano.
2005. 987.1 Boxster S. Black.
2015 . Macan SD . Agate grey.
2014. Macan SD . Jet black.
2012. 981 Boxster PDK . Agate.
2010. 987.2 Cayman PDK. Aqua.
