No thanks. I don't like it.

 

Just the thing when car has been sitting in the sun all day - metal on the steering wheel thumb rests !

 

looks like gemballa got a hold of it

 

yuk what a disappointment, the interior looks like chrysler 300m this is the way a porsche interior should if you like luxury porsches

 

With those wheels they should make wheels optional

 

yuk....hate those alloys.Big bucks to be made for the aftermarket manufacturers like Techart,etc i guess.

 

They must think it is an infiniti.... with that clock... That's their trademark...

Those wheels are hidious.... Although with how often ESK(Eric) and I change wheels they would be off in a heartbeat....

Yeah, I will be keeping mine until the 998 is out...

 

Speaking of the devil, did I mention I bought a new set of wheels for my TT? Champion Monolite 5 spokes (not sure of the model #).

BTW, I agree. THE CLOCK SUCKS!

 

The shifter is right out of the VW Jetta/Passat parts bin.

 

I think porsche is starting to become a real company, and starting to do things that will cut costs to increase profits. I think the partering with VW shows more of this. I think they should move back to limited productions. It seems to be every good small company trys to go big.

People didn't pay 100K+ for porsches because there were a lot of them. People bought them because they were unique, different and built with quality.

MWEELS

 

I'm thinking that *this* is the way a Porsche's interior was meant to look...

 

Even worse: I guess that's silver painted plastic...

If they put a clock there on every 997 (not only as an option or so)... then I'm done with Porsche.

SERIOUSLY!

 

I think doing away with the cheap black plastic that is standard on most P-cars is good. Maybe on a Boxster or base 911, but they should give you something half-way decent on a Turbo. Maybe a no-cost option of CF, wood or painted? Mirrors look cool, wheels are bad and not likely production and it is hard to get the full sense of the cars proportions because it's not parked in the open. Time will tell ...

 

My '04tt is looking better and better every day! Boy do I not like the look of the new car.

 

The guage on the dash is not a clock but in fact a new guage designed by Porsche

Here is a close up!
