Aren’t those the turbo aero wheels on your car? Or is the car in your avatar not yours?
Permission to be embarrassed!

Yep, that's my car and I have those wheels. Senior moment on my part and thought the comment referred to the Sport Aero wheels.

Turbo Aero rock!

Good catch!

Mine had a Frozen Berry buddy at the grocery store the other day.

This is a funny cherry/berry post. I looked at the pic and thought: "Wow, I sure did misjudge frozenberry, that color looks absolutely stunning in real life." And then I spotted your little pink frozenberry buddy in the background, and quickly realized that I was looking at your car in the foreground, not the metallic berry flavored taycan!

I have (and like) the turbo aero wheels so was a bit surprised. Agree about the sport aero. Mission E painted in black look amazing (much better than they look on the configurator) and the RS spyders look great as well. But on the roads where I live I think 20in wheels are a safer bet. And a lot less money!

Mission E wheels are my favorite and thought I might change mine since I took dealer stock on the GTS and did not get to pick the specs. But after spending a couple of days with the turbo aero 20 inch wheels, I'm fine with them. They have enough of a RS Spyder look and the biggest downside is the lack of red caliper showing. But in a blacked out sedan, I think it's not too bad. (side markers swapped to clear after this photo was taken)

I did snap a closer pic!

Well, I do like the car's shape and wheels very much. As to color, I think that the car's owner might have a tough time with the test below.;)

PS If you see your Berry Buddy at the grocery again, maybe you can volunteer (for the good of the order) to take him/her car shopping next time around. Your ride is badass and he/she could learn a thing or two from you!

Pink is not for me but I’d never shame someone over their choice.

To be completely honest I don’t love Cherry either. The whole launch palette for Taycan is weird; perhaps they wanted them to differentiate from their normal line?

My kingdom for Guards Red…

Hey, no shame intended, people should select whatever color makes them happy and not give a damn what others think. I have a plain old black RWD with a limestone beige interior and see posts all over this forum advising that RWD is too slow, black is too boring and that beige is an old man color -- maybe they are right, but I'm still going to drive slow/black/beige Porsches because I like them. And, my opinion is that I don't like pink cars (at all) and would prefer not to see them on public roads, but if people want to drive them I am happy that they are happy with their choice.

Pink cars are a thing here. Mary Kay is based here and a sales award they can earn is a pink car.

It used to be a pink cadillac but I've seen other pink cars with Mary Kay stickers so, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never heard of Mary Kay but frozen berry is my second favourite colour on the Taycan list.
I only choose a monochrome car if I don't like any of the actual colours on offer, so I have had plenty of black, white, silver and grey cars over the years!
