992 interior had the same effect btw, pics are awful. Felt excellent in person (other than the stupid shiny plastic on the center console which is awful. Felt like the cheap haptic plastic in caddy's but with no haptic buttons)
Good post.

As I said in my write-up - one of the reasons why I went 991.2 versus waiting for the 992 was the 992's interior. I do not like it (but being fair - from pictures). I think it was a mistake to not at least frame the digital gauges (which are from the 70's 911 Porsche), the tiny shifter that looks like a shaver was a mistake - and I feel the shiny plastic makes the car look too gadgety for a Porsche and somewhat cheap. I do like the 992 exterior though (mostly). Front and sides are great. Rear - I am not sure about the single tail light, I like the hips being more rounded, the rear window does not taper in like it does on the 991 so the extra width is not as noticeable, and the non-Turbo cars have the exhaust spaced out (which I believe looks better). I have a feeling the last of the analog gauges 911 may add some value in time.

I think most will be pleasantly surprised with 992 interior in person. It really did make the 991 feel a bit outdated. Even the nubbin shifter didn't bother me in the flesh... just the stupid plastic around it. Otherwise the interior felt very high quality.
