Beautiful! ..until you open the door. I've never understood the appeal of "woodgrain" in a technologically superior sports car. That's like putting that fake vinyl top on a new Chevy sedan...

I like woodgrain, but the shape/style of the 911 interior doesn't suit it. It belongs in a saloon, with tan interior. Aston martin plays it well, maybe even an M5 with black interior could pull it off but that's pushing it.

I gotta agree on the wood, but my 3 favorite Porsche colors (in order) are forest green, cobalt blue, and zanzibar red (which they no longer offer), all on tan.

Not crazy about the green for a 911... more of a sedan color.

I kind of like the green, both Wimbledon and Rain Forest...the wood on this car is not to bad, but I agree not for me....could live with it though. Have you ever seen the Nephrite Green interior though?

That's a bad combo, but that interior - ok well maybe a less pastel version - would look pretty cool with a red or blue exterior.

Not bad in white. Check out this link and you can view all kinds of exterior and interior colors: http://www.whiteson.org/boxster/gallery/

No - it's still bad. I think the only colour that interior would be acceptible with is neon pink so people at least know you're being a joker!
