"Pretty" is quite the understatement. I think the word you were looking for is "glorious".

Cobalt on an '05 S - that's going to be, or already is, something of a unicorn. even makes a gray interior look good!!

The 'GT3 Steering Wheel' looks very similar to my 996TT steering wheel... was there really a difference?

It looks just like my factory original steering wheel (different color though).

Maybe the grip is a bit larger?

That is a stunningly beautiful car. Posting a couple of pics from the ad so that everyone can see it after the link gets taken down by the dealer:

My last PCar was Ocean Blue with the grey graphite interior! The grey has a big tendancy to show marks. Will not own another grey graphite!

I saw this car in the "flesh" last week.
I'd love to have it, but too $$ for my budget.

well by those standards, an Aztek works (relatively) too... but is by no means preferred

Not sure what you mean by that - But I was referring to the heat - and how dark interiors turn into easy bake ovens. I laugh at the NE folks that come here with their triple black cars and exit looking like they just did 4 hard miles on the treadmill.

If you are talking about the aesthetic taste of Florida in general - then I'm not sure I can help you there.
