I disagree. It is Black/Terra.

I'm going to go with Edgy01 on this one - I think it's the Natural Brown Leather/Black 2 tone interior.
If so, this is a beautiful car.
I like the wheels too!

I'm a bit miffed that the Boxster Spyder doesn't offer Natural Brown Leather - it's my favorite choice and is giving me pause where I otherwise would be slavering over it.

Does anyone know if they will continue to offer it for the 2011 model year? (perhaps with more choices?)

Lovely car and my preferred colour / leather combination. But the seal grey / black leather is neat looking too.

Let us know what your first impressions of driving it are.

I have driven a '06 standard Carrera and liked it so this one can only be better. Leaving now to go get it.

Anyways, these are the pictures they sent me, I will be sure to get some more later for you guys! Falling asleep tonight will be hard....

Great car and great timing - I cannot wait to start driving my car every day again. Thankfully it seems weather finally settled and all this season events will start very soon.

Although I agree that the OP's interior looks like Natural Brown/Black leather, my recollection is that Natural Brown is not available in the 2-tone combo. I thought it was only sand beige, terracotta, and stone gray that were available in 2 tone.

Make that stone gray. I like all the 2-tone combos a lot.
