I disagree,

Have you seen the pastel yellow in person? It looks good. The Blue interior also looks good, our 1st 993 had a Blue interior.

I like it, but no surprise there for anybody that knows me .. . Classic Euro aesthetics and $8K+ in Exclusive options including Midnight Blue leather covered center dash, instrument cluster and gauge rings and body color matching yellow leather covered gauge faces that are hand silkscreened with gauge graphics and factory painted hardbacks. However, look at the dirt and dust in the interior not to mention the drivers seat cover pulled out of the hardback channel. If I was the owner paying this consignment dealer to clean/prep my car for sale as part of their service for the big commission they charge, they would be so freakin' fired ..

I love the yellow, but my mind just can't get around the blue with it. I guess I'm just a bit too conservative for it.

With black interior, it would be gone by now.

I love it.... But that's me and I have admittedly unusual taste.

I can't say I'm a fan of the colour combo (I like yellow exteriors and I don't mind blue interiors) -but it kind of makes me think of a kid's throw up after having grape juice and banana pancakes. That being said, I can over-look the colours thanks to the straight line vacuuming technique employed by only the best used car dealers. But the truth is they had me at "Bad Credit OK!"... Oh, and have they removed the backs of the fog lights or painted the insides yellow?

I actually like the color combo. Blue/yellow work well together (ask Van Gogh). That said, this particular blue interior has seen better days...

The tail of the "S" on the engine hatch cover is MIA.

wow! pastel yellow gauge faces...I need those for my pastel yellow car.
I'm surprised the msrp is only 73156 with sport seats and fancy dash.

I have seen less attractive combinations but I'd nix the yellow accents inside in favor of matching the black/charcoal trim. It's unusual enough to 'pop' on it's own, the yellow pushes it over the top..

... Sportseats were only $365 upcharge each and it appears no charge for the painted backs! Pretty 'out of character' for Porsche ..
