I like it cause its different. I however have an affinity for grey interiors. I'd not like it if it was tan or brown. Guess that's why there are so many choices. It probably would limit who you could sell it to if this poll and the responses are any indication. I'd be the only guy that would not be turned off by color combo.

the bad thing about wood is replacing it is expensive when you could easily find a car that already has carbon or even plain leather instead of the wood for a similar price.

The poll results thus far re-inforce the fact that we all have different tastes. To me that is butt ugly. The exterior color is bad, the interior color not great, and the wood in a Porsche is something I understand about as much as getting a tiptronic. All in all, I wouldn't pay money for that car.

Just sold a Classic Range Rover with Green paint and beige interio,r that car was perfect in green but not so much on this 996. Also the grey interior is a poor match in my opinion. But its your $ dood, buy what sings to you.

Green over gray looks fine. I just don't like the wood. Carbon or aluminum would be a lot better.

What he said. That color on a 911 makes me sad.

Regarding the wood . . . I am a wood fan, but not with a cool (gray) interior color. Wood with natural brown looks super (IMHO).

Love the exterior, hate the interior. No option for that.

I actually like the color combo, but the wood needs to be changed out for sure. I remember seeing the Ad, doesn't it have some crazy low mileage?

I think the Oak Green doesn't have any pop or life to it. Not my taste, but color is SO subjective. Wood? NO.

Those complaining about the "ugly" color that doesn't look right on a 911 must have very short memories.
