^ I've never understood this complaint about the 986/S Boxster interiors being cheap. It's the exact same interior you are getting in $100,000 911 GT3 or 911 Turbo. so for $50,000 you get the SAME interior as the $100K version. Not bad me thinks!

p.s.
The famous Boxster Concept car in 1993 came with an all new unique interior that is pretty close to the 986 interior. I have a concept brochure for the Boxster circa 1994 in the same silver and red scheme as my S and its really not all that different inside. Porsche decided not to use it in the 911 until 1999, some three years after the Boxster went on sale in Europe in 1996.
The 996 911's (S,C4,GT2,GT3, GT3RS & Turbo) all use a 986 Boxster 'concept' interior not the other way around.
