ps - My bro placed the order for me and he said that he saw a cayenne s in the showroom with the cognac/espresso interior... and it was absolutely gorgeous.. best interior by far. Could not get pics unfortunately.

Thoughts/comments?

Thanks

 

Wow, what is there to comment. I'm loving your very well optioned Cayenne. I see that I was able to convince you on the PDCC/PTV but not the Burm...that's okay. You have an awesome build.

My suggestions/questions:

1. Add rear side airbags.
2. Why 14 and not 18-way seats ?
3. How about ditching the skid plates, Porsche crest, compass display, Porsche entry and
drive and sports exhaust for the burmester.
4. Isnt having the privacy glass and the sport exhaust counter-productive ?
5. The soft ruffled look leather makes it feel "lexusy" in my opinion, do you like that look ?

You bro is killing us...can he take his camera and shoot some pics of the espr/cogn interior if it is not too much to ask. You live down under and the vehicle is ordered in Dubai ?? Care to explain.

You did very well Willy_Jo.

 

Thanks Woot. I actually ditched the Burmester and went for PTV, Porsche crest and compass instead. I'll be listening to mp3s on the iPod mostly so figured the Bose system should do. I think the stainless steel plates and also the sports exhaust looks really good on the new Cayenne.. love it. Rear air bags and Porsche entry and drive are standard options. I thought about lane change assistant as well but my bro has it in his car and says that it is not really useful because you end up doing head checks anyway. I found the 18 way seats to be a bit uncomfortable... intrusive side bolsters.. and i somehow like the look and feel of the ruffled natural leather. My bro lives in a different city from the showroom so it's a tough ask will try. And finally, I will be moving to Dubai soon, the family is already there. Works well for me.. here the Cayenne S base price is 160k Aussie dollars which is on par with the US dollar. Insane!

 

Nice explanation. I agree the stainless steel skid plates do make it look good.
