Could You Live with a Cocoa Brown Interior?

[Craig T]

Could you guys live with a cocoa brown interior in a GT Silver car?

I found a great deal on a 40K miles 997TT. GT Silver is a great color, but i'm sure it's below market because of the brown. What do you think? I'm going to keep if for a while, but you never know. I don't want to be buried in it.

I have a chiffon Carrera w/ cocoa interior. It's one of the reasons I bought the car, unique.

I dig the interior.

I dig it.

I have always liked the unique colour combos. My 87' is Carmine red. The haters call it pink but I love it.

I had a slate(ish) grey 2006 997S with the same interior.
I LOVED it. Not quite black, not going to show stains like tan. Especially the carpet.
It is very classy in person. The interior color was my favorite thing on that car.
It basically looks like the color leather is supposed to look.

To me it is a HUGE positive! HUGE!!!!

Quite honestly, I think the colour is great, and I don't know many people that would disagree! I think the biggest problem is that now you don't know why it's priced below market!!!

I like it! Pretty stunning against the silver. I could live with that more than I could live with a brown exterior (not that there's anything wrong with that)!

U mean shyte Brown don't U? AKA known as SEPIA....

Brown and Silver DO NOT GO TOGETHER....The same kind of guy would wear Brown shoes with a Blue Suit...either he is colour blind, has no or bad taste...

It is hard to find a sucker....er I mean buyer for that colour combo...unless of course deeeeply discounted....

Red, Navy, Cream and Black all work.

Green, Yellow, Orange , Red, White, car, the Brown would work

There's nothing wrong with the colour combo but are you sure you want a convertible?

If you have to ask, I think you already know the answer.

That Brown exterior was known as SEPIA.. Porsche ever being cost conscious added Sepia to the roster of available colours when they found some left over from WW2 paint out in a shed in back of the Porsche factory in the early 60's. Let nothing go to waste is Porsches motto.

HHHMMM, good point! Not my thing, but maybe his?!

I'm not a huge fan of brown interiors but that looks great.

It's just a weekend cruiser. I'm not going to track it, and the weather here in Ventura County, CA is perfect for a cab.

Much the pity that you are not going to Track it, as the brown stains would not show when you scared yourself shyteless....

Looks like a very clean car. Nice leather. Doesn't set off the exterior, but it does not seem to clash. Needs to be sat in and driven.

Nah.... I have 3 Porsche Owners Club cup racing championships and 4 time trial championships. Been there done that. A track day now Is just going round in circles throwing tire money out the window.

[LEAKYSEALS951]

Now I miss my car!
The only downside to that interior is that it looked SOOOOO good, it made you really notice how cheesy the silver painted plastic was on everything else in the interior.

Somebody should make aluminium retrofit kits for it to replace the center console (and everything else) with something quality. Maybe a 2007 SIM card telephone delete option.

Knock it off. You sound very jealous. If you don't like his life, get one of your own.

[Nostril Cheese]

I like it as well.
