I'm not sure if the interior is the 991 TTS' problem or its pricetag. The interior is okay-ish for the Carrera models, but when you step up to Turbo and Turbo S pricerange, one expects something much better than a simple Boxster-interior. It's all well fitted and build, but it looks bland and dated. It's a EUR 200k+ car, so it needs to have an interior that looks and feels like a EUR 200k+ interior, not like a EUR 50k interior....
I can very well understand what the guy that RC met, was thinking. Getting out the beautifully designed 458 interior and looking into the 991... That must have been a huge disappointemt.
Porsche makes wonderful cars, but with the prices they are asking for their cars now, people expect a lot more than just a good performing and handling sportscar. They really need to step up their game, because the group of purist enthusiasts only gets smaller and smaller and a model like the Porsche 911 cannot survive solely on the purists. Yes, the 911 may have become more of a GT, but that's a good thing. The average modern 911 spends 95% of its driving time on speed restricted roads and people that buy a 911 are used to luxury in other car(s) they own or have owned, so they expect the simple things like a backup camera, decent navi, adaptive CC, etc. to be normal things in such an expensive car. Even cheap, small cars have these options as standard nowadays, so people get used to it.
in other words... Porsche needs to step up or decrease their prices. The latter won't happen, so it needs to be the first option... Wake-up over there in Stuttgart! It's 2014, not 2004!
