Default Poll: Carrera Red Natural Leather

So, I recently posted my 991 order, which included red leather. Many opinions were shared, all of which were valuable.

But, it made me realize red leather has a polarizing effect. I'm interested in people's opinions. Here's the poll:

1. Love the Carrera Red Natural leather/would order it/have it.
2. Admire it, but just couldn't do it.
3. Hate it, or really don't appreciate it.

Put me down for #1.

Also, please comment on what exterior color(s) you think it looks best with (e.g., GT Silver)

1 works for me.

Exterior colors- silvers, blacks, Carrara White. Maybe not greens and yellows.

I have a platinum silver/carerra red 991S with deviating black carpets and GT silver belts/full deviating stitching on order for a Feb delivery. I love the red. I think it really makes the car feel even more special.

1.5 I really admire it and think I could pull the trigger on it. Maybe tone it down a little with black carpet. Best exterior color partners; silver and black with white in the running......

2. not so sure I could pull the trigger on it.

Love silver and gray (old gt silver especially) I'd go dark brown, cocoa, espresso, whatever they're calling them now or black. Boring, maybe; classic and classy nonetheless.

#2 for me. I think it's really very nice. Platinum silver and red, hmmm just exquisite. I am somewhat boring, conservative though when it comes to my own car. At some point, I may go crazy

Crazy would be platinum silver, red. Or a blue (riv or mexico) with a lightish interior. That would have to be my long term keeper.

Red leather is outstanding if A) the exterior color complements it and B) the carpets/stitching are black.
