I like the sport steering wheel. I've only seen the other two.
Thanks Viken,

Default Antenna?
Viken,

Bravo once again. What's the "Rod Antenna" all about?

I like the Rod antenna but I'd get the thicker version

The guide says that the "Rod", is only for better AM reception.

I really like some of those wheels. The 18" carrera II wheels would look great on my 993...

Interesting that the optional wheels are basically all 19s. I have a Cayenne S with 19s, and the tire selection is very limited (no R compound tires at all).

Why would you want R-compounds for the Cayenne?

Default 997 Wheels
Thanks, as usual, for the great info. Glad to see Porsche is going to offer some 19" alternatives to that odd-looking '403' wheel.

Does anyone know what the functions are on the Multi-function wheel?

Thanks
