    Cobalt blue 997TT & Ruby Red C4S

    Stopped by my dealership and they had two new cars in the showroom. A 997TT in Cobalt Blue with blue top. The interior really stood out. Not exactly my style but interesting still.

    I never quite like the Sycamore wood trim. Makassar would work much better with black/sand. In any case, the console and door packages are too much. Leather is much better, not to mention cheaper.

    Ruby Red on the other hand... reminds me of Arena Red, which reminds me of the legendary 993 TT.

    I think Ruby Red actually looked brighter than Arena Red. But I actually liked it much more than I thought I would. Definitely more than Carmona Red.

    IMO the grey/silver PCM facia does not match very well witht he above interiors. PCM in leather perhaps?

    Here's the "supple leather" option (right?). That and the "burgandy" console make this int. look very Caddy or MB, IMO. Do we all agree that supple leather doesn't work in this already problematic interior?

    It's just the BOSE subwoofer. It is located in the back in the coupé, but in the passenger footwell in the cabriolet and targa.

    Well now I finally know why the Bose is only offered with leather (CVZ) in the coupe. Thanks

    That Ruby is hot. Don't care for the interior on either car though.

    Saw several Ruby Red cars at the factory recently. The photo is close, but still a bit too orange. The color is darker and more red in person...

    imo the interior of the tt looks like an 8o year olds car but still stands out and gives the car a classic look. but still looks nice. the ruby red looks good i would love to see it on the tt... nice pics
