Re: 992
blueflame:ISUK:I wonder why Porsche still require the tennis ball sized front sensor for the active cruise control I bought a VW T-Toc Design a couple of weeks back to replace our Panda 4x4 as a little run around. It has active cruise but there is no large visible sensor for the VW system which works very effectively.
I was shocked at how much equipment is standard on this car that Porsche get away with charging silly money for, considering they are both brands from the same group. It has really hit home how much buyers are gouged by Porsche. The T Roc has the following equipment as standard for a UK list price of around £21,700 -
Park assist front and rear (£665)
Folding door mirrors (£210)
Active cruise control with emergency braking (£1,557)
Lane change assist (£488)
Auto dimming mirrors with rain sensor (£387)
Privacy glass (£249)
Diamond finish wheels (£1,010)
Interior light package (£312)The figures in brackets are the prices Porsche charge in the UK for these options on a 991.2 which comes to £4,878
They do it to milk the cash cow and for customers like me...I wouldn´t order nothing of your list, so I would save over 4.000...

Auto dimming mirrors are nearly essential in the States with all the SUVs and trucks on the road.
