What gets me is that it's a zero cost item for Porsche. If anything it might be slightly more expensive to color match exactly but whatever. I can see black interior having black stitching standard, though I'd prefer pebble/agate/etc. But beige absolutely needs a brown stitching, blue a gray stitching and platinum a black or dark gray. Wouldn't cost them one penny and would add a much higher level of finishing.

I meant the standard black interior could stay as is, but the other 3 standard interiors really need to have "deviated" stitching standard. Recently rode in a Malibu that had it :/

See though if you look at the 997 turbo, GT3, GT2, GTS they all came with white deviated stitching as standard. I'm not sure the full leather black interior on the 991 does the same. Well granted on the 997 you got it in certain places, but not all places.

The only value is the ride, feel, and practicality. They are the only game in town. No one does it like them. That's why they charge so much. I mean BMW, mercedes, audi, attempts to do it like porsche. But they can't. When you get in any porsche it's a completely different feeling in the way it drives than any other car. The one that feels comparable to me is the ferrari.

I'd also like to see two town interiors on the "other 3" interior colors. There's glare no matter what cause of the way the windshield is, so beige and platinum absolutely need a darker color standard. Blue just needs something to break up all that, well, blue.

On second thought, SHHHH! don't tell Porsche! They might start charging for all their stitching, deviated or not.

There seems to be nothing that can be done to prevent the glare of the windshield. Not only do I have a black interior, but I had the windows tinted as dark-as-legal. I still have a very distracting glare on the windshield.

Here is a sample video from my dash cam that shows the glare quite prominently.

+1 I have black leather interior and got the glare too. I don't know if there's much you can do to avoid the glare.
