Looks awesome. Wish I could have made it down to Goodwood yesterday

Looks lovely, would be stunning on a 991.

Mid Sussex OPC have a 997 Gt3 in this colour, it is stunning !

The wife loves Aqua Blue. I'm not convinced and neither was the salesman. He reckons they have problems shifting them on. That doesn't bother me from a resale perspective (after all, it's my car for me) but I wonder why it's hard to shift on. What am I missing? Is it a bit effete?

looks very similar to Colbolt

Which dealer is this? I had Reading and Cardiff say the same

If its not black, silver or grey then that's a pretty standard response in my experience.

Wasn't it just? Some awesome motors around though. I saw a blue FF, 964RS, 993RSR, 288GTO, 599GTO, MP4 12C to name just a few and I got so bored with queueing I actually left without getting out of the car!

Salesmen's advice is all around how easy they think it will be to shift on the second hand market, and rather than being difficult to sell per se I reckon they are advising against as they don't know whether or not they will be easy to move. They pretty much know that black, silver, grey and possibly white will generally not scare punters off. I've not seen it on a 981 yet, but at the DN track day earlier this year one of the participants drove down in an Aqua Boxster Spyder (I didn't see it on track - I believe that the owner was renting) which was universally declared to be gorgeous by all that saw it. If the sun is shining I seriously doubt that you would have any trouble moving a Boxster in the colour.

Aqua is one of my fave colours from Porsche, looks stunning on the GT3

Agreed!

I really do like the look of the new Boxster and can't wait to see the Cayman.

Aqua is much deeper than Cobalt and a lot nicer. I've always had black or silver 911's up to now, but I'm enjoying the change, although I was put off my original choice of midnight blue when the dealer principal referred to it as 'doom blue'.
