Well after 4 years with the '12 CS we have decided to go with a '16 CTT. I could not believe that the earliest build date is November but it just goes to show you how limited or popular these cars are (this did not help with negotiations). Honestly I will say that the CS was the best car (dollar for dollar) I have ever bought so there are big shoes for the CTT. Anyhow here is the build, we have till end of September to make changes to the configuration. (still not 100% on White Metallic versus White) so opinions would help.

One of my must have options is the sport design package. I can't stand all the plastic black on the bottom and really don't understand why so many are not order with the kit. Assuming it's the $5k charge but even on the 911s it's night and day.

Also, if you are on the short side or have kids the 18 way is a pita to get in and out versus the 14 way seats. I've only had the 18 way on my last 2 958 but drove a loaner with 14 and liked it much more.

Just my 2cents and either way it's a awesome car.

 

Interesting, we have had 14s all along (great seat) and I sat in the '18 and didn't find them to be bother (will see how it plays out). Funny you mention the sport design, I actually think it makes the Cayenne look very "unSUV"... I love the contrasting black bits, I find it gives it a bit of toughness. Agreed on the 911s its a must, not so sure on these but thanks for the input. Any ideas on the white versus metallic white?

 

Haven't seen anything in person regarding the whites so don't really know. I would lean towards the newer white just because it's new to be honest.

Regarding the bottom trim I guess it depends on what look you are going for but you are absolutely correct the black does make it look more rugged.

Try the 18 way seats a bit before making your decision. With my twins the 18 way caused the rear to be nearly impossible to put 3 car seats in since the middle was useless.

 

Ahh ok excellent point on the rear car seats, we have 2 in there right now and wife sometimes sits in the middle - hoping this will still be possible? Your blessed with the 3, I am hoping that we keep it at the 2 boys, its busy enough!

 

Prior to my 2016 CTTS in Black
I had a 2014 CTTS in White. It was gorgeous..Would not choose metallic white as the brillance of the pure white is lost IMHO.
Since you did not choose black rims I guess thats not your desire, but it really gives the car the LOOK

 

Thanks so much, I really want black rims but the wife is dead against it (not fun). I agree that straight WHITE is the way to go and will most likely change it to that whoever we live in Canada so we will need another entire set of rims/wheels and will probably go with the 20s (in black) with winters
