Anybody has the 09 order guide for the GTS? Besides the pcm 3.0, I know that Canadian GTS 09 model will include macademia metallic as a new color. Anybody knows that it will be available for US too? If it is, I plan to order a 6 spd man in that color. I am still debating whether to get the pcm 3.0 but I'll need to learn more when more information is available.

The first thing I noticed when I got inside the 08's around here was that cheap plastic. That being said I'll spring for the full leather.
That's one of the reasons I was going to get the RR before considering the GTS was the interior.
Really, only front. Another 250 bucks for back. Oy.
I have to find the option for lube on this "options (to rape me) list"
I have been looking all over LA for a Pano roof at a dealer and I can't find one. I ordered it sight unseen. Does it open above the drivers head like a moon roof would? I can't tell from your pix.

The pano roof can be opened just like a regular sunroof or opened all the way which makes if feel like a convertible! It is awesome. There are 15 seperate settings even one where the glass can be opened only over the rear seats. It's very cool! Another must have option in my opinion.

Chuck, any idea of the complexity/cost involved in the after-the-fact leather upgrade? I have a 2009 GTS on order (Nordic Gold/Havanna Beige/6-speed manual; being built this month!) and tried to change from the standard interior to full leather a few weeks after placing the order, but was told it was too late since the order was already "in the system."
Also, for the Porsche crests in the rear headrest, do you replace the whole unit or just re-cover? I ordered it for the front, and thought it weird that it wasn't offered for the rear; especially in light of some of the goofier options they offer for the interior trim (does anyone really order "defroster trim and mirror attachment point in leather"?). Thanks!

As for the headrests, I'm replacing the whole unit. The fronts are actually a little larger than the stock rear headrests.

No discount here in NoVa 
! Well I should say what ever they took off the GTS they subtracted it from the trade in. So basically, I got about $1k off. That was in April. Maybe now with the gas $ issue they are give discounts but it also depends on the area. Im in the D.C. metro area = $$$$$$$$$$$.

^^^^^^^
I got mine in the SF Bay Area. Got the car at the end of May. Did a complete inventory searches for Northern California and came up with around 6 GTS's in my configuration (scattered around a couple dealers), and around 24 total in black. I played the "I can go here, there, over there, routine," and pushed for installation of black roof rails and all-weather mats.
The next step was negotiating the trade in of my 05' X5 4.4i.....did sort of the same thing. Printed up a sheet of all for sale on craigslist, and the edmunds and KBB highs to lows for value.
Besides my inner debate on what winter tires and size of rims to purchase....now I'm just trying to figure out how to get Sirius back into this car. I can live without Ipod, bluetooth, however, I just wish I could swap out the XM tuner with an old Sirius one, so I don't have to do the NAV-TV etc route? Will that work? Much appreciated to anyone that can help....

So I guess the people who say they can get close to cost really can't? Prices seem to be holding well. $2500 off is not a lot but better than nothing
Chuck - was it that much of a difference for you in the SUV to take a beating on the Range to go over the Cayenne? Maybe you didn't take a beating but it was a fast switch nonetheless. I have always liked the looks of the RR Sport and IMO is one of the best looking SUV's on the market - that said I wouldn't buy one for the service/reliability. It is also a PIG on wheels but then again the Cayenne has been called a PIG many times Maybe a Potbelly one but a PIG nonetheless
I am inching more and more into an 09 Sand White/Natural Gray. The only thing I don't like is why they can't get roof rails to work with the PANO.
