Color me confused.

Speaking of which, had the rep for that Terracotta interior TT cab send me picks...yeah, too red, and not complimented well by the supple leather...it looked like worn out lady parts.

2009's were the only year with the Mezger and the .2 interior updates.

You said 'lady parts'

Still looking for a PTS 997S or GTS manual (no Red or Black) in the sub $70k range if anybody has any leads

More objectively, the "best" year for a 997TT would be a .2 version because of the improved engine that made more power, didn't have coolant pipes/camshaft issues, and had other nice updates, but the Mezger Mystique definitely counts for something and the 09 is the "best" year for the .1s.

Not too hard to believe considering it's a rebuilt title.

Yes I missed that when I first looked at it and copied the link.

I was not looking at that car for myself anyway due to the color.

Because it is a GT not a true sports car.

And your point is? We're talking about sport seats, not GT2 buckets here...

That a lot of people who ordered them wanted them for their daily commute as they sip their Starbucks. They may have even had a larger circumference than most and needed ease or ingress/egress.
