To me, the biggest flaw in Porsche's options portfolio is that all of the aluminum stuff is aluminum-look, not real aluminum. If they offered real aluminum, I'd be all over it - it's timeless, it's a great contrast, and it wears well (a hell of a lot better than painted plastic). Even my FX45 has real aluminum in it....

I still love the classic Porsche design though - it will look great in 3 years or 30 years.

In general, I don't like wood in sports cars... But I do think it looks amazing in Porsches because they have such beautiful interiors. Although I don't think I would ever get it because I love carbon fiber soo much!

I totally agree, I hate that plastic crap! Hopefully they will start offering real aluminum soon, because that's the only way I would ever consider the aluminum options from Porsche.

Thanks for the pictures.

That brown looking interior with the wood look azz ugly though. Looks like cheap panel board from the 70's.
