Interesting quote from the article...

"Porsche isn't just taking old interior materials and simply putting them back in production, either. Textiles like corduroy, the houndstooth-esque Pepita, and even the psychedelic Pasha pattern will be redesigned with what Porsche calls "cutting-edge material characteristics" to ensure they hold up as well any new interior trimming."

I guess they are kind of admitting that the interior materials they have used in the past were substandard, even for the era.

Not sure how much confidence I have in an author that can't tell the difference between a 928 and a 911 targa.

Aside from textiles being better/more durable than decades before, today, vehicles must meet requirements for flammability, etc. Don't take it personally if you have an old car.

No idea how he can tell it's a Targa, but even I can tell that's not a pic of a 928.
