So I was at Porsche Beachwood today

maybe I missed it, but why/what did you trade your targa for?

2019 C4 cab. Inbound on Primrose Ace. Didn't like having to stop to put Targa top up and down. After seeing the 992 reveal, decided to get another 991.2 before it was too late to order one to my specs.

I ended up cancelling PEC delivery due to time of year, but the rest of the build is correct. Was always afraid of a black car, but my S550 in Obsidian has had up well with PPF and Ceramic Pro. Doing a full PPF wrap after paint correction on this one though.
I like greens as full disclosure, but that Oak Green is beautiful in person. I would have skipped the houndstooth as well, but primarily because I like ventilated seats. I would have done plain Espresso, like Stout did on his. I don't like light colored interiors because I always manage to get them dirty. My '87 had Linen and I just gave up trying.

And no taste.
I like the green, but as a combo with everything else it's just too mad.
And it's a manual! I am one of the few who are manual guys, but I'm in the 10% of buyers. So now they need to find a unique buyer out of the 10% pool.....wow......that is going to be tough!!

PDK Worth Less

Abomination wtf?!? That car is phenomenal. Green with espresso is a gorgeous combo. Green always goes best with brown / tan. The brown top is a nice touch and the silver Targa bar should be mandatory on all dark colors. It livens up the car so much, beside being a wonderful throwback to the narrow body aircooleds. Silver Targa bar with silver wheels and dark body is the perfect Targa color scheme. If I had the money I'd be on a plane already.

As others have already commented, loved it until I saw the interior. Pepita centers are a classy ($$$) upgrade, but not with that interior color.
BUT, someone will buy it and love it.

this right here........uff. Someone really got it wrong. Would have been fine without the off color top and the houndstooth. Those seats with the black piping alone would have been lovely.

Responding to Bud Taylor, I agree with your future depreciation "analysis" on this vehicle. However, I was not opining on the PDK vs. MT discussion as it has been discussed ad nauseam on this forum and others. There is clearly a time and place for both. Merely pointing out that somehow a Targa GTS MSRP can get to $217k WITHOUT that option.
I currently have a PDK. Traffic is too congested on Long Island and one needs to concentrate on dodging the ubiquitous potholes. Recently consolidated my ZO6 MT and 997 GTS PDK for a 991.2 GTS PDK.

If this car had full espresso interior, even with the houndstooth, it would be georgeous.
But that cognac ruins it. Too light, too many shades.
