Indeed!

I've seen pics of the inside of a 997 and the steering wheel and general trimmings are close to the Cayenne's :-(

Sorry but I can't remember where I saw those pics so I can't point you to them.

The new interior is looking pretty awful. Let's hope these are just prototypes.

Someone's already come out with an upgrade kit for 986/996.

Omygawd!

That clock atop the dashboard looks as if it is out of Halfords!

The 645 is looking more and more attractive!

Well, it appears to be a guage of some sort, but i doubt its going to be in the production car. They are probably just monitoring something while testing.

While I realize it's hard to draw conclusions based on these photos, my problems with this interior are

1. the steering wheel buttons - okay in an SUV, but seem too busy for a sportscar. I don't care for 'em in BMW sedans either.

2. the bulky center console - I have GT3 console delete in my Boxster and it really improved the interior legroom. I don't see how it's possible with this setup. That center console looks rather permanent. Who knows, maybe not.

3. The rectangular vents look VW, but that's a matter of taste.
