the red leather is NICE, but the dash is too much. perhaps differentiated with black/grey?

I like it, though it'd be best with deviated dash and carpets. Looks a wee bit darker than can-can red.

Yes, would def be nicer with deviating carpet and bicolor dash treatment. Also noticed the vents are red as well and helps push it into the too much red zone.

Is the Cab Slate or Meteor? Agree - it needs deviating carpet and the trim strip in aluminum or body color and possibly dash top in black or natural gray. Is Carrera Red a natural leather?

In about 15 years that red leather will look great. After it develops a patina and some wear.

That's the right car for when a Lambo driver decides he wants a Porsche for a while...before he buys a Ferrari....then trades that for another Lambo.

Agree w/Points. You'd think ..any of these car companies would go back and look at old Jags, etc. Back when leather looked like leather not vinyl.

Best thing in the picture is the seat back.
