Polar silver with blue interior.

My wife said the green interior looked like there was something off with the camera. I agree it isn't my bag but if you threw me the keys I would be gratefull.

If you are having problems or concerns about it now, how will you feel after a year surrounded by that color?

My favorite color is blue. At first I wanted a blue car with a tan interior. Then I thought about it. When I drive the car, I see the inside, not the outside.

I wouldn't even consider the car due to the green interior, but does it really matter what I don't like?

If you are having mixed feelings about the green, I'd say forget it and never look back. It would "get to me", that color. I like silver with a blk interior. That's it. I'd never own any other color now that I have what I really want. The silver stays clean the longest and the black interior just can't get dirty. Spill grape juice on it, mess it up with pen marks, even magic marker from a Sharpie - no problem. The black interior swallows up all stains and marks like no light interior could handle.

Cheers,
Steve R

I'm strictly a condition v. price buyer. Rather enjoy my C4S now. Conversation piece among all the black interior cars when we're all lined up together.

I don't like it at all, but then again the only interior I like is black. In the end, obviously, it's your choice!

Having actually seen that color I can say that I like it. The black accents of
the 993 interior add contrast. The wrong interior/exterior combo would kill
my enthusiasm. Looks OK with black, though.

Viggo, I acually think it looks pretty good, particularly with the dark exterior. It's diffeent. But as others have stated, if you're not sure now, how will you feel in time? That said, adding a bit more black might do the trick!
I'm still partial o midntblue exterior but with a black interior rather than the blue of my car. I do think that a slate gray metallic/red(bright red) leather interior looks incredible!
Cheers, Tim.

Thanks for the input guys.. I wouldn't mind a special colour combo, this included. My girlfriend says she would never sit in a car like that, which means it's a no go . BTW that 993TT in the first post is local to me and after having replaced and sold all the extras (Turbo S wing, BBS race wheels, GT3 seats, techart active brake ducts, heigo rollbar etc) with the supplied OEM parts, these two cars would cost me about the same $$$$. But anyways, they are both out of the question now..

I could never buy a car with a Nephrite Green interior.

Black is beautiful. I have never seen a black interior that I didn't love.

One thing to consider about red and green interiors is that it limits the number of potential buyers if you ever plan to sell it.

True, black is always very nice hands down. And yes, these interiors definately will limit the number of potential buyers. It's also probably why it hasn't already sold.. Many valid points brought up here. I am keeping my eyes open.. We'll see what happends . But I do think it's nice to have something "different"..

I like it in the first car with the seats and all the carbon but too plain in the second.
