I'll keep that one in mind as basis for justification of expensive options towards the grand chancellor exchequer aka wife. "but it will cost so much more next year, just imagine how much this will boost resale value!"

I am not sure. I wonder if they redid the pricing on packages. Because when I use to do my c2s configuration it was 135k. Now its 127k. Not sure why it is different since the GTS came out.

- USB jack in the central storage compartment for iPod
- MultiFunction wheel w/ sport wheel's paddles
- Head up display (BMW did a great job on theirs)
- Hybrid tech w/ electric motor(s) for more punch on rolling starts (I'll even sacrifice a suitcase worth of frunk space)
- Something, anything to fill out the central console button blanks

A 90 day delivery guarantee and make many of the options (PSE, leather, 18 way seats, sports chrono, etc) standard.

Or at least honor all the PTS builds they handed out in June.
Macan steering wheel.
Love the camera F/R idea, especially the activate on motion part. Our security cameras at home do that, inside and outside.
If they aren't going to make ordering deviated options simpler, at least load them all into the Configurator (and show up in 3D), so you have an idea of what you want/will get BEFORE going into the dealer to order.

I like the OP's dashcam idea, although I'm a little concerned about LEO or insurance trying to confiscate the data in a single car accident on an on-ramp...

FWIW, I had HUD on my Corvette and found it very distracting. Useful for being on the track, I suppose, to monitor oil temps and maybe RPMs, but on the road, I found that I fixated on it too often. And I don't track anymore.

Great ideas!

Yeah, it would be a 2-edged sword. Video information can be used by you or against you. The question would be for each individual is it more likely to help you or harm you? And can you legally delete data that you did not want exposed in court? (if your name is not Lois Lerner)

I read that the 991.2 will have the updated steering wheel of the Mecan/918.

I will +1 the MT in all versions of the car.
