I've just been on the config to spec a Carrera T and the colours available have been reduced massively. No racing yellow, shark blue, Ruby, python etc etc. Same for the GTS including no Aventurine green which is now a £3234 option on the Panamera. Used to be just a standard metallic at around £1000.

I wonder why so many colours (all the good ones in my opinion) have been removed?

Try buying an Audi - would Sir like a grey one with black seats, a black one with grey seats, or a grey one with grey seats....

I have generally found the colour choice quite poor.

That is why I ended up with black :D

So you pay extra for the PTS.

As said above, Audi are terrible now.

Yip, Mercedes no better, looks like they are buying black/silver from the same paint manufacturer 🙈

With Land Rover, the more you pay the less choice you get. My V8 Defender came with a choice of black, grey or white. Much more choice lower down the range.

It just seems strange that they have removed so many good colours in one go.

And Racing yellow, python and shark blue aren't even listed as PTS

For a T, racing yellow has to be offered! To lure me in they still have an image of a T in racing yellow to click on to get to the configurator but then it's not even offered 😡

All very strange 🤷

If you choose Ice Gray Met, it’s £2207, yet only £741 on the Macan 4 🤔
Of course you could go for Speed Yellow at £7880 🙈

PTS in vogue at the mo, currently watching England with their new PTS St George flag emblem 🤣🤣

Bit confused. Ruby and Python are still there. Were Racing Yellow, Shark Blue and Aventurine ever options on the Macan?
