Not trying to be a tool, just keeping it real. We had this combo on a Cayenne Turbo that we eventually traded because it never had showroom appeal enough to spark a single interest in buying it.
The colors didn't go well together, IMO. YMMV
I would tend to agree with this,.....problem is Porsche didn't leave people much alternatives for a black car interior. Luxor is a bit too light, while Espresso & Umber have too much of a "brown" tint for black IMO.

They need to bring back something like Natural Brown Leather,...with black carpet and headliner that was a fantastic combination.

Hey everybody, thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Eduardo--I've been following your Porsche Exclusive thread with interest and thanks very much for the two tone pics--I think that's a great look. Aterpins: love your Agate Cab with Espresso interior and platinum wheels (?). I was at the Porsche World Tour today and got to drive the Boxster the Panamera GTS and a couple of 911's--what a blast! I hit 105mph on one of the straightaways in a 911S. One of the Boxsters was platinum silver with espresso interior. I agree that agate and plat silver both look better with espresso than black does. So I have another month or so to decide...thanks all for giving more options to obsess over! peter

Have you decided? I've got GT Silver with Espresso interior 991-4S on order. Haven't found all weather floor mats in espresso color though...I think that'll be a challenge except one decides to get black mats...(which I won't in my color combo...)
