no dog in that hunt, but that's not how I read the thread on RL and their website...

My car came equipped with the Porsche telephone module and handset in the console compartment.

Total waste and very 80'ish. Requires a separate sim card to operate.

The car was equipped otherwise as I previously ordered for my '14. except that the '15 has sat radio--which I do enjoy.

I has the rear view camera installed by Nav-TV at their FL shop and it is a great "option".

Default My options were not MY options!

Well, I gor GR and wanted white. It was the last allocation and already built so my wait was only 3 day which is a huge plus. I do like the GR a lot with the CCB. Im just patial to white. Suppose we could trade

The options that most impressed me are:
1) PCCB - best brakes I've ever owned and driven period, happy to pay for the increase consumable costs as the benefits are worth it to me
2) LWB - much better than any other seat options, the seat choices were always the biggest disappointment for me vs other cars and these fixed that
3) LED Headlights - fantastic for night time driving on dark country roads. High beam makes you feel very safe and confident vs the deer/animal risk. My regret is that you shouldn't have to pay for LED lights these days.

Mine came already optioned and the side skirt is painted GR. Thought I wouldn't like but now that I see it in person it looks good. Glad I have it. The front skirt and rear exhaust area will still be all black. Should look great!

i tried the China configurator before, i notice you can't have buckets?

I have no regrets but in terms of options I debated:

Light design: I actually like it, but probably wouldn't know what I would be missing if I passed.

Satellite radio: I ordered and then wanted to cancel it, but it was too late. I actually really like the integration and am glad I have it now. The roof bump doesn't bother me anymore and I think the feature of the system outweighs the downside of the antenna.

Lift: don't have it and glad I don't at this point with my limited mileage so far. I may change my mind on this, but I fear the lift's long term reliability.

Color: agate and love it. Almost went dark blue and I'm sure I'd probably be as happy if I did.

I'm sure Porsche is listening. These type of threads are marketing gold, unpaid visceral opinions publicly stated. Now, let's hope they deliver for the next model.

What do you mean the brakes are laminated CCB?
