Thanks to all for your congratulations. After 10 days of driving on the autobahn, in cities and in foggy, rainy conditions, here are a few impressions:
1. The car is rock solid in every situation, so easy to drive with confidence.
2. The interior is extremely comfortable and well designed. My wife and two children have all commented that they have never been in a more comfortable, relaxing car.
3, The car has created no obvious or unwanted attention. (Not sure if that is a compliment or not!). I would like to think it is because the color does not say "look at me", and because I drive it with consideration for others. In fact, I seem to be ignored completely, especially by smaller everyday sedan drivers who blast past me consistently at speeds often in excess of 125 MPH. I find it ironic that people supposedly resent SUVs or Porsches, but drive their everyday cars at high speeds and with clear impatience for others.
4. At high speeds, the car drinks a lot of fuel, but at normal speeds on back roads and in urban conditions, the consumption seems quite reasonable.
5. In automatic mode, the car is a bit unresponsive (even with the sport button in use). I am more and more using the manual/tiptronic wheel buttons.
6. At first I missed the thrill of walking up to a sports car ( I last had a Carrera 2S and a 996TT). A Cayenne is just not a 997 variant. But I have come to really love this car, both for its looks (I know many folks say its ugly) and its truly sophisticated power and design. Maybe I am just getting old, but for my family and me at this time in my Porsche ownership career, the car is superb.
7. What would I want differently? More precise responsiveness (a super sport function), and a sport exhaust option. But that would change the character of this superb car...
Here are more pics of our new Turbo S that we picked up in Leipzig last week. Fantastic car, wonderful color, a dream to cruise in during our trip through Germany, Switzerland and France. Factory pick up was perfect, and I will be happy to answer questions and give recommendations.
Good choice.

on my bonnet and when I tried to take it off a very sharp granual made a 10cm scratch
don't tell me how they did it (had to drop the car off) but the scratch is gone and believe me it is really gone (amazing
).
