The worst part of it all is that they put that soft touch on the plastic where the seat belt comes out over your shoulder. The seat belts make a total mess of that soft touch plastic. Some day I may actually do something about it!

I thought they would have learned their lesson with the 986, but they used it in the 987 too. It must be a german thing because I part out Audi S4's of the same generation and they have that crap on their interior's also. Does anyone know if the Germans are still slathering that crap allover the interiors of newer cars? I sure hope there's an end to it

IMO the 987 has it worse. The stuff in my '04 isn't too bad, still better than a period-equivalent Volkswagen. My '07 VW GTI did not really have issues with soft-touch at all - which was fantastic.
