Originally I had posted I was getting rid of my Raptor for a BMW i3. Which was my intention but as an Oppo would do, I have several alerts setup for vehicles that come up for sale. Welp, I just placed a deposit down for this:

2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS in the same P eridot Metallic of the Cayman R I almost bought a couple years ago. Will be shipping my Raptor from TX to NC and back with the Cayenne.  CAN. NOT. WAIT.

That’s as schizophrenic as spending a year shopping convertible sports cars only to spontaneously come home with a luxobarge .

Funny how life happens. Congrats!

Can’t really tell from the photo — this is a yellow paint? Or is there some gold or green in there too?

Signed, a color-deficient AF oppo

I was considering that exact vehicle to replace my GX460. The color would have paired nicely with my girlfriend’ s Hypergreen Wrangler.

Not yet but it would take $35,500 as private sale to make it overcome the tax savings/shipping offset over me trading it in.

Gecko Green is far and above my favorite Wrangler color.

That’s a good color for Cayenne.

It is a very dynamic color. Most lighting is a bright green but it has a gold/silver/burgundy  metallic flake that has a yellow hue in direct sunlight. In person it has a depth to it that doesn’t come across in pictures.

So is 420hp NA V8 in a SUV.

I concur, tired of boring colors, when you are getting a GTS for some reason silver and black don’t do it justice.

Oh my. That is a color that should be more common... Was it 2010 you could get a stick in the GTS? Still, that looks badass.

Popular belief is that luxury SUV should have understated colors and that makes it such a good choice for this car. It’s ‘ wrong’ but it just works.

That’s right! I knew someone on here had a green SS at one point.

Wow, I never knew Porsche put that much power in these things. That’s SRT Grand Cherokee territory.

T hose are nice - no turbo issues and all the go fast goodies, (love the slightly lower ride stance too.) Watch for the county mounties - that thing is going to be a ticket magnet!

I’ve had many fast/eye-catching vehicles, my only speeding ticket was while  in college in my mom’s minivan. Now where is that wood to knock on...
