Ugly rims, ugly chrome window surround, ugly wooden steering wheel, ugly side mirrors... While I "get" the historic references they are trying to make, the execution is horrible... When do they learn? They should hire Iain to configure a special yet tasteful car for things like this...

You guys are too hard on the cosmetics. I like the wheels, the pepita seats, and I even like the wood stuff.
For a 1 millionth car, one needs to tie together all the different ages of 911.
I think it does that rather well. But, ... I'm old enough to remember the very first 911s.

It grates with me that they fitted such special options: plenty of people would have loved to have specced things like pepita seats in their cars but were told: no way. Then they put them in such a special model. Feels like them flipping the bird to the customers somehow - yes, it's possible - we're just not going to sell you one.

?? But Dave, surely if they allowed these special bits in any bog-standard Carrera, they would no longer be special? And there goes the whole idea of doing the lucrative special parts bin cars.... oops I mean special editions.

Yes, it is Oak green . And the wood inside combined with that beige leather is a rare option . Works well all together even if I would of never chosen that spec for myself
