I was thinking today that the 986 has an enormous amount of interior options and combinations depending on year and model. One thing that I cannot really determine is why and when the full width center vents gave way to the less integrated looking half width center vents? Is it year based? Or is it dependent on if the car has cupholders? I don't think I've seen any 996 with the ellipse-shaped vents. Were they available on any 996 models? Similarly, it seems like the ellipse shaped vents disappeared on the later 986s as well. Anyone have information about this?
