Just put down the order for a GTS, March production.

Platinum Silver
Black Leather/Alcantara w/sports seats
20" 911 Turbo Wheels
Delete model designation
Porsche Entry & Drive
ParkAssist (f&R) w/Rev camera
Bose Stereo
Sat receiver w/HD radio
PDCC w/Torque Vectoring
Lugg Compart Retract Roll Cov

MSRP $123,540, sales price $116,127 or 6% discount. Very good dealership - they guarantee the engine and drivetrain for the life of the vehicle if you service with them.

I had a very tough time making the decision vs the new M5, but in the end, it came down to just a few items:

1. I don't need 560 Hp on the street.
2. I do need awd and the best handling, best sounding, most responsive luxury sedan I can get.
3. The GTS had pretty much everything I was looking for in the Panamera.
4. I was ready for something different after 130,000 miles in my E60 M5.

Looking forward to picking it up in a few months!

 

Saw one at an Auto Show a while back. Seems to have everything the Turbo has minus the engine. Enjoy!

 

Definitely. You must have been at the LA Auto Show? The GTS is at the Detroit show right now, and trying to figure out if I want to drive the 4 hours there or not.

For anyone who attends auto shows - here's a great tip I picked up from a buddy a few years ago. Register for the "Industry Preview", which is usually a couple days before the event is open to the public. You can register over the internet, and just need to be an 'industry person'. It's a pretty loose definition, and pretty much anyone can register if you're willing to pay an extra $30 or so.

I've done this a few times, and it's terrific. You completely avoid the crowds, and pretty much have every car to yourself if you spend a few minutes at the exhibit. Definitely worth it.

 

Congrats! I am going to have to wait until the summer to order mine. Debated getting the V6 and S, but I have some things to payoff, then I am going for it! In RED!
can't wait to see yours! good luck on the wait!

 

The red is killer. Definitely the color the car was designed for. I just don't want that much attention...

 

Congrats! You got a great discount. I was happy with the 3% I got... 6% is great! Mine is an early February production. I can't wait. I am sure this car will not let us down.

 

Congrats on your choice, I think you will love it. BTW you can choose any color you like, because this car doesnt blend in with any color. I have learned this after being naive about a gray color hiding the car, it doesnt.

The other day drove the Cayenne GTS and finally understood the difference between it and Cayenne turbo/s. I think it transfers also to the Panamera. The GTS is harder and definately made to feel more sportier. The turbos I know from tests get better acceleration figures in the Cayenne, but the GTS felt actually faster due to being very sporty, responsive, little noisier and agile, even for its size. I think the Panamera GTS will be a good choice for anyone liking the more sportscar side of the car.

 

Congrats. One option you might consider, unless it is standard in the GTS, is the Sport Chronos. Similar to the "M" button on the E60.

 

Definitely - Std. on the GTS.

 

Except the M button is good for 100+ hp.

 

congrats! now i wished i couldve waited 6 monthes more for GTS .... I ordered my S in June and delivered Oct .... its a fun car nontheless

 

conrats Wolverine...thinking about the GTS myself....one question, I dont want the GTS lettering in the headrests or on the side of the car as the porsche website shows...is it an option to order without?

 

Not that I can see. I'm sure they can put in the standard leather sport seats without the lettering. The only option I found for the alcantara seats is with the GTS lettering. You can do without the GTS lettering on the side though.

 

Oh my !!! Congratulations!!! I know you will love it.

 

The red lured me in! My build price is similar to yours. Just need the 'clock' and the money to move forward so I can order it. Of course, I can't wait for you to get yours, so I can dream! Congrats again!
