Joining the Panamera family...white GTS

After many sleepless nights debating the sale of my 997s and range rover I finally pulled the trigger...the GTS arrived in Boston from Germany this weekend and being shipped down to NJ...should be driving end of the week and can't wait...was time for a new ride...

Went with Carrera White
Full Black Leather interior
20" 911 turbo Wheels
Lane change assist
Rear camera
Sirius XM
Rear and side window shades
14 way power seat

Can't wait to hear that exhaust in person!

Will post pics when I get it

I drove one a Friday and fell in love with it (well for a sedan). After reviewing in greater detail last night my wife noticed its only a four seater! : (

We need to haul the parents/in-laws when in town visiting along with our daughter. Drove a Cayenne earlier in the week; we had it for 24 hours...2012 S...I hate to say it, but we were not impressed with it at all.

PS: Congrats! The one we built online was white with black Turbo wheels as well...its going to look sweet with just a light window tint!

Ok...so I go to pick up car and I see platinum silver GTS with turbo rims. Black alcaterra interior and sports steering wheel...holy sh*t I fell in love so I ask pretty please can I have that GTS...after a few left hooks I got it. First impression it I honestly hard to explain the sound. Almost embarrassing at first. It is so loud when you start it my 8 month old started crying. And thats when I fell in love ( and yes I felt bad for my baby for a nano second) I wish I could give more driving details but I took it home put in garage and had to travel. I go to sleep dreaming of the sound it makes when leaving a red light and every head snaps in your direction cause of the rumble...the DRL had a few kids taking pics out their window...to be honest I was a little timid on the ride home. I'll get pics up in a few days, but holy sh*t Xmas came early.........

Radical move! You are lucky they let you make the change.

WOW! She is beautiful!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed. Wife is leaning back in the Pana direction. She wants a white one....I just need to talk her into the GTS over an S. She loves the alcaterra interior. However, the one I drove had ventilated seats which I really found to be quite comfortable. Also, I'm not sure if the GTS comes in white...well certainly not worth a $9K+ upcharge IMO.

Congratulations!
