The 986 interior is much like the rest of the 996/986 styling as far as options. If you don't go for the upgrades it will look bare and cheap. Just like a 996 Carrera without 18-19" wheels and without the GT3 aero package, that Carrera just ends up looking really dull.
But with those over-priced Tequipment interior options the 986/996 cars look like a sports car should: well done but not overly done. When the 987 came out it did in fact look more expensive but it also looked more like a VW/Audi road car than the minimalist approach in traditional Porsche interiors. And now the 981 interior doesn't look even remotely like a sports car interior. More like something you would see in a Cruise Ship Captain's cockpit.
