Nice combo, love the umber/tartufo interior choice.
Anthracite is too dark for the brown tartufo tones as the natural olive may be too light.
Walnut would be my choice which belnds the best with the tartufo.

If I am not mistaken, the brushed aluminium package comes standard on the turbo. Might not be a bad idea to leave it that way unless you really like a wood interior. I am ordering an espresso/cognac but paying additional $$ for the brushed aluminium package since it is a Cayenne S.

Yes you are right it does come with brushed aluminum but I have always been partial to wood interior... right now i am at Tartufo / Umber with Anthracite wood interior and steering wheel.

comment please!!

High gloss black with a thin strip of aluminium vs chrome (not sure if alum or chrome) is standard trim.

The thin strip is chrome, which looks a little odd next to the brushed aluminum imo. Still with a black interior like ours I think the brushed aluminum helps lighten the car up a little.

I opted for the piano black in my 'S', with full leather... I haven't seen a car spec's like that in person but I think it's going to look great, especially with the contrasting chrome strip.

I heard the natural olive in amazing quality, but it's not glossy... looks almost raw from what I'm told.

I've seen the anthracite and the dark wood in person and the dark wood looks much better IMO.

Standard trim on a turbo does not have any gloss black. Only aluminium trim that is broader than nonturbo vehicles (just go to one of the dealer websites) Greg we are talking about non turbos and in those I agree replacing black portion with aluminium does not make sense with that small rim of chrome beside it.
