Yes!

My mom bought a Macan with a beige dash. What a nightmare. I don't even know why Porsche makes it.

Porsche even offers a warning in the configurator about light colored dashes.

Default my ideal 911

My ideal 911 would be a manual GT3 designed with a detachable rear wing as well as detachable front aero (which are really low on a GT3).
That way, you get a hardcore GTS look for a daily with detached wing, and the hardcore GT3 race car on the track with attached wing. Kinda like the 911R but one that could transform into a GT3 at will. You'd get two cars in one really.

If I bought a GT3, I'd want to drive it every day..but I can't see myself rolling up to Starbucks with that wing. So, I'm left with the next best thing..the GTS. Not a bad place to be.

I never thought the wing would be a problem when I got my GT3 but experience is the teacher that gives the test before the lesson. Not only did the wing make driving in traffic difficult, but over time I came to realize how silly it looks, even on a GT3, anywhere but on the track.

To the it's the 6MT that's the most revealing... So they listened and brought back a manual, but not just any manual, the 6 - like the R. I guess now we know what to make of the 7 speed box (Porsche, tell us what you really think about that 7th and how it affects the ergonomics of shifting, huh?)... if you want to drive fast and not worry about your shifts, you need a 6....Hmm...

I have Umber colored upper dash in my Cayenne. The reflections are much better than with the Luxor Beige color. Hardly noticeable at all. So you don't need black, but this one might be too light...

When I was a kid. Someone sold me a small scaled jaguar in racing green with the number 1 on the door for 1 dollar. Will never forget that moment. This reminds me of that. Nice build to the op. Must bring back a memorable moment for you.
