Wish they could use the supra paint that’s already in the factory…

you can get a black one and get it re-painted. that way you don't have to remove the engine to paint the inside of the engine bay

its not that much more expensive than an individual color would be and you can get something truly one of a kind

We've talked about it a few times in these threads, but even colors that are available outside of the US aren't available. Like Frozen Orange. Or... why can't I get a 30i with M Sports package painted with the Blue or metallic white? Doesn't make sense to me IMO. Outside of the US 20i can be painted with Frozen Gray. go figure.

That's why I get grumpy that sometimes I need to take a meeting on the road and have to drive around with the top up. don't care if it's an ugly day, but them NICE Good Temp days... GRRR!!!!!

That being said, having voice commands as a sole source of doing things is a terrible idea in any car. Think accessibility options for those hard of hearing or thick accents. My wife struggles with anything that requires voice. She has a verrrrry thick accent.

What happens when you have a Low Talker” in the car?

Might be a contract issue with Toyota.

Can't find any actual video or even pics of PB z4s. I'm learning PB with the cognac interior but also considering the white interior. Alternative is white with magma interior (I have white/red right now).

Apparently the Portimao Blue has been available in some countries since the G29 was introduced. I ran across this one on Facebook today, a 2019 model.

That might be Mediterranean blue.

The owner said it’s Portimao Blue but I suppose he could be mistaken.

This is Portimao. Hope this helps

Probably right. I’d hate to wrap. A car but I think I want something more unique. My previous m40i was black sapphire. Would love matte black or white.

How about some photos in the sunlight?

If they offered a G29 in this color, I'd sell my soul for it (well, at least my current G29).

Especially with a two tone black/yellow or blie/yellow (like the g80) interior would be absolutely top notch.

Also. This is what it would look like when painted (someone did in Germany)

Mediterranean Blue which is a few shades darker than Portimao and was available in regions on Sport (not MSport) models I believe.

You have to lookout that no one throws letters in it (in Germany the postal colour is yellow)

I have owned convertibles since 1994 and have had one rule no matter what the body color is. Never buy one with a black interior because the seats become too hot when the top is down. 😎
