Just picked this up yesterday
My wife and I took a 10am flight to LA and picked this up yesterday. Drove 360 miles back home and smiled all the way home. This was on order since the end of last year. It was originally ordered as a TT and we changed the order to a TTS in February before the build started. Also, many thanks to the super team at the Porsche of Downtown LA for a great buying experience.

Basalt Black with Black and Titanium Interior.

Our family of 4 (my 10 yrs and 3yrs) just took a ride after I put in the car seat and everyone loves the car. All of you should see the expression on my 3 years old when I "stepped" on it. My children said that we can skip theme park roller coaster from now on.

Very nice. That interior two tone colour combination matches the exterior colour well. I have the same interior but with IBM exterior. My wife drives mine (carefully ) on an occasion.

Thanks for the kind words. Your original post was actually read by me for numerous times as inspiration. I have never seen this Black/Ti combo in dealer showroom before and was ordering sight unseen. I found the plain black may be too common (no offense to any black interiors out there). The black/creme may be impractical with young kids and since blk/ti is a Turbo S only combo, I decided to give it a try and both my wife and I are very pleasantly surprised.

I will post more pics of the two tone interior with the car seat installed. I bet you someone will use the car seat picture to convince his spouse that this is the perfect car for a family of 4. (I did ) And I am happy to help along.
