Just had call from porsche and I’ve got a May build slot with delivery in June. Need to tie down spec this weekend though!
Anyone at the launch night(s) see the full leather vs standard trim? Trying to talk myself into paying the extra £2.3k for full leather trim
If its the same as the old car it transforms the cabin and money well spent. Anyone at the launch night(s) see the full leather vs standard trim? Trying to talk myself into paying the extra £2.3k for full leather trim

Presume you're going for black interior from the £2300? First Gen faux leather parts were pretty poor, I think thats where a lot of the hangups about partial leather come from. On the last Gen it improved significantly. Anyone at the launch night(s) see the full leather vs standard trim? Trying to talk myself into paying the extra £2.3k for full leather trim
My take is you can get away with partial on the black interior. But on the beige or two tone interiors its probably best to spec full leather.
Pop into the dealer and take a look. Or ask them to send you some pictures.
Went to the OPC preview a couple of days ago, not in the market for one but can't turn down some free booze and food.
Loved the looks, much better than the outgoing model which looks far too generic IMO. Sat in the Turbo, really nice interior especially the big pano roof but then checked out the price tag... £117k including options!
And some of those options you'd expect as standard on a £30k car, never mind a £100k one.
I might be interested in one 5-7 years down the line though, after someone has taken the mahoosive depreciation hit

Or more likely in 5-7 years you'll go for some more free food/booze and want the next one Loved the looks, much better than the outgoing model which looks far too generic IMO.

I'm a sucker for their wicked tricks
overnight my desire for the previous model disappears. I console myself by looking at my friends who display the same fickleness with their wives, thats even worse for the wallet 5to1 said:
Mine is also last week April. OPC haven't confirmed its entered into production, but unfortunately lack of communication is not surprising
To be fair I only got that info as I was in yesterday after getting a new battery fitted. Still cant make my mind up if I want to keep it or not. moonigan said:

The battery or the Cayenne Still cant make my mind up if I want to keep it or not. Presuming you mean the Cayenne, in similar position. Coming from low slung coupes, to 4 door coupes. Cant stand estates, so trying an SUV for practicality. But really not sure. With the production shut down hopefully I can give it a try and get out without a massive kick in the teeth should I not take to SUV land.
Just got back from a skiing holiday in Switzerland and saw a couple of new Cayenne’s out there. Someone very kindly parked a Turbo next to my 2017 car so I had a good look at them next to each other. The most noticeable difference to my eye is the slope of the rear hatch...it’s much more like the Macan on the new car with the roof having a noticeable slope to it. Good for styling/bad for practicality and rear vision I suspect.
The rear lights have the effect of making the rear look more agreesssive/sporty and I think the way the side radiator ducts at the front are more angled also improves the front.
Lots of small subtle styling differences have really freshened the design up.....but not enough to make me want to change.

The front spoiler is different on the turbo, almost looks like its grinning 
The backend does look much better though IMO. And the interior is a step up, which I personally didn't like from day one and hasn't got any better with age to my eyes.
As for the rest, I don't think you'd kick the old one out of bed if you like the new one. Not a massive change in design.
