Only seat heaters - from interior spy shots thread post #76:
Some of the interior shots have both seat heating and seat cooling - others have just seat heating. In the second case, the console looks like it doesn't have the button cutouts when there is no seat cooling. Could this mean Porsche is no longer installing our beloved blank buttons???
Oh - but wait - now look at the one with the row of 5 buttons under the touch screen - two of them have diamond shapes!
Could it be that "Diamonds are the new Blanks" ?

Diamond buttons can be configured to a variety of quick access functions. Very good decision!

^ You've got to be kidding - Mazda's mis-matched center vents have to be one of the worst new car interior designs out there, not to mention the me-too fake iPad.

this is the first new insight i've seen in weeks of re-hashing the same things over and over... I think you are right about the lack of blanks. There are clearly functions that some of these cars don't have (like front axle lift) yet none of them have blanks (my single largest annoyance in 991 interior).

Two real gauges, a mechanical handbrake, and a center console that isn't encrusted in buttons or studded with Big Gulps. They've got the new Panamera beat, despite the inelegant vents.
The Ipad sucks, but so does any screen in a car. BMW Z4 wins that battle.
The best way to integrate as screen is to hide it.
All you need is sticky backed velcro, and you can forget that screen even exists.
^ Above you raved about the dash...not the console, handbrake, or cup holders. You put a Miata or Spider interior...with features to match...into a $125-200k Porsche and not one person will buy it. Let's get real here.

Agreed completely. The flip up screen is about the only good thing there.
As for 100k cars, simplistic quality should rule Porsche interiors. The 996 was a break from that, though they eventually made a return to form.

What we want is not an exact replica of a Miata interior but rather the philosophy of the Miata interior.
Here's the interior of a 250k 488 GTB that has no problem selling incredibly well without gimmicky luxury car BS that Porsche loves sprinkling every car with now. Aside from the Italian over the stop styling the interior is no nonsense and incredibly functional. That's what a 992 interior should have been striving for but instead we get the interior of some silly SUV or luxo barge.
