Nice car. Not too keen on the wheels, the color is great, but what blows me away is....what IS that stuff in the center panels of the seats?

Looks like perforated plastic.

Very nice total package though overall.

Yep I hate the new leather It is not only the seats but on the shift boot too...

These pictures make the wheels look good. They look more of an orange peel bad paint job in person.

The CGT silver is the best part of that car.

I think the turbo front bumper is a major plus too...

I actually wish they went with the GT3 front bumper. I think the GT3 bumper is much more stylishly flowing than the C4S/TT bumper. The GT2 front bumper in my opinion is a better iteration of the widebody front.

As I've said in the past I think the most beautiful combo would be the GT3 front bumper with the C4S/TT/GT2 rear bumper.

I agree the GT3 bumper is pretty damn cool. For the money I would just buy the GT3!

Sandoval....the only negative on the bumper is that they should have only painted the horizontals....painting the entire section amplifies the interior portion, sort of like the old warts of the early production turbos.

And Jas...the CGT Silver ain't much to sing about either. Yes, it's slightly different, and I liked it, but nothing really special about it, just has some other tints in it (pearl white and others).

I have a Cayenne S loaner, and the leather on the seats and armrests is much different than in my Carrera with full leather. The Cayenne leather is rougher and not as soft as the Carrera. It reminds me of the leather in my '89 944, which had partial leather seats--you could have easily mistaken it for plastic, or what did they call that fake leather back in the '60s? Hopefully this isn't the leather they'll use in future sports cars.

I actually think the wheels on the 40th anniv are pretty sweet..the rest of the package is basically like a rummaging thru the parts bin...
