I have to make up my mind as I have an October allocation for a MY2016 GTS. I can't decide which of the following builds I should go with in terms of the interior. Both cost around the same.
On one hand the communication package is exclusive and very cool except it seems a bit much and I think it may get boring or tired somehow. Many GTS pcars will have this down the road. My other build is sharp and I think a bit more laid back; I think I'd like this a lot and the ventilated seats are something I wish my 997 had.

Let me know what you think.
Red-stitch plus leather sport design steering wheel!
I'll take some, I have been remiss in not doing so since I got the car
I'll say! Get on it Larry!
For jets I have the same painted interior trim you're looking at but in Sapphire Blue of course. I'm extremely happy with it, turned out fantastic and I've gotten a ton of compliments. I really wanted the ventilated seats in place of alcantara too so no downside for me.
Here are a couple of pics and the link to my thread... made me realize that I need a few natural light photos of the interior too.
Whoa that looks really slick. Thank you for the photos!!!
No probs, happy to help. Another Rennlister recently posted pictures of his Carmine Red Targa GTS with the painted interior trim as well, worth a look to give you an even better idea.
Yes I saw that. L O V E the carmine red. Before it came out I almost initiated a C2S purchase that would have been PTS. I always missed my 97 San Marino Red prelude and would have chosen that color or something similar.
Either interior will be great. I prefer the GTS Interior Communication package since it differentiates the interior, and the GTS, a little more from a regular Carrera. Not to mention, it looks fantastic.

I'd love the GTS interior package - if it ditched the alcantara. I'm one of the old guys who thinks 1970's Buick velour every time I see alcantara.
I liked the GTS interior but after spending some time in various cars I just couldn't fall in love with Alcantara. Both the look and the feel. I have a Carmine Red Targa and I had the interior trim painted to match. It is freaking amazing, so much better in person than in any photos that I've seen. I didn't paint the trim around the center console, just the dash and door trim and I'm very happy with the decision. I have a post with a crappy interior photo taken by the SA but I'll take better photos and post soon.
For what it's worth, I am already in love with the ventilated seats. I drive mostly with the top down and the vented seats are really nice when the heat is beating down. After experiencing the leather vented seats there is no way I would go with Alcantara. But I will always be a little jealous of the red tach and the red stitching. But not enough to have done anything differently.

I've never owned a convertible car, but the texture of Alcantara would give me pause if I did. Seems like convertible interiors get pretty dirty/dusty, so I would prefer leather which is easier to keep clean. Then again I'm borderline clinical OCD, so YMMV. I also ordered the carmine GTS package for my coupe and it was a "must have" after seeing it in person -the stitching and seat belts with that carbon is next level. Has a very "rich" and luxurious overall feel IMO.
