The shifter looks very meaty like the 944's were - I always liked that - I hate this steering wheel though ( which is diff again from the round insert 50's looking one)

 

looks slightly better without that FUGLY clock

 

It's not a clock - it is part of the sport chrono package - it folds down and hides away - it is a timer - chronograph

 

I am thinking now this wheel is for the Carrera 3.6 and the more rounded 50's look one is for the Carrera "S" 3.8

 

Are the order guides for these out yet??

 

I agree the steering wheel is a little awkward and I don't like how the top of the dash cants forward. Also, the doors seem a little angular from the pictures I've seen. I do like the alu-look PCM and I've seen the same treatment on the backs of the "S" seats, which looks good.

 

Gauges are nice too...more spaced out than 996

OTOH, that may mean more blocking of the oil temp and oil pressure gauges . On the 911s I had up through the 993 with their more spread out indiv instruments , the lateral two gauges were unreadable w/o moving my head far left or right.

 

Interior is too "Americanized" for my taste....like driving a (fill in any car name)

 

Two words...

Yuck!

 

Too Cayenneish.

 

No thanks...It's not for me.
