Yup, the dealer is Paul Miller in Parsippany. Have worked with Norman Mandell there on my past two cars. My buddy is a leasing broker and so I let him be the "go-between" so he could promote himself a bit, though I paid no mark-up to him for going through a broker.
I took some pics of the interior last night. The lighting isn't great as the car was in my garage. Hope to take more exterior and interior pics under better conditions soon. Also getting a tint done on Friday (35% on my side and rear windows, same as I had on my C2S).

I'm interested in why you say the LEDs are better than then bi-xenons? It seems in the US they are limited to the same light output and you lose the (what I think are cool) LED strip DRLs and instead get four bright dots, which I just don't think look good.
I would love to hear what you think the differences are...?
Of course it's really frustrating that even cheap cars like the new Miata have LEDs standard yet Porsche charges a fortune for them.... Grrrrr

Hi all - in honor of my 40th birthday back in September, I decided to take advantage of the PFS 12-month pull-ahead program and I placed an order for a 991 Turbo. Specs are as follows: Agate Grey, Leather Interior in Black/ Garnet Red, Sport Chrono, Sunroof in Glass, LED Headlights, Premium Package Plus, 18-way seats, Power Folding Mirrors, Smokers Package, Porsche Crest on Headrests, and Colored Wheel Center Caps. I picked up my new car from the dealer yesterday. Although it was sad saying goodbye to my 2013 C2S 7MT (and a bit melancholy because I'm leaving the manual fold), I was ecstatic to welcome the new Turbo into my stable. Quick reactions after just a few drives . . . all I can say is wow. The PDK is telepathic. The car has incredible, otherworldly, thrust. It is just insanely quick. The 18-way seats are great; so much more supportive than the 14-way seats. The LED headlights are night and day better than the bi-xenons. For those on the fence, get them. The sound is pretty good for a forced induction engine, but candidly, coming from a C2S with PSE, it's not the same. The leather interior (especially in the two-tone variant) is stunning. It's such a major upgrade over the standard interior I had in my C2S. Some iPhone pics I took at the dealer are attached. More to come.
Want to hear something nuts (not to be creepy)? I was at the dealer the day you took the Turbo at Paul Miller. I remember it. I was there buying the 2015 Cayenne S as my daily driver (drive a Ferrari F430 Spider as fun car). Congrats. Great looking car and even better in person.

I've been following your threads on your potential change and I figured that when you had narrowed your search down to three cars a few weeks ago, that you were close to striking a deal. Stay strong, my friend, and know that if you do succumb to your weakness, you'll wind up with an awesome beast of a car!

My Cayenne S is twin turbo. Very surprised that I don't feel the lag as much as I thought I would. The boost feature is cool. Do you feel a lag?
