Bingo. PDK, especially in the Carreras gets old. It's engineering marvel and it has its place, but not in the T IMO.

Yep!

It's required in the US, however as I understand it, in the ROW, it's a no-cost option to add it back in.

Correct. All car next year require a reverse camera by law, making the need for the screen to be there.

Nice video/advertisement by Petrolicious was just posted re: the 911T. Not a lot of new info but nice videography.

In the pic above, Left one (the GTS) is white. Right Cayenne is CWM. CWM is less yellow and with silver/blue undertone.

Now I’m really confused ...

I was too but went to check it out at OPC last weekend.
The left car (nearest camera) in that photo is regular white.

?? Neither. I saw various Panamera and 991 in and out of the showroom.

Came to the conclusion that:
1. Under artificial light, White looks on the warm side, CWM looks neutral.
2. In natural light White looks neutral, CWM looks light grey with blue tint (probably a reflection of the sky).

In any event, White is warmer than CWM. CWM is more grey than White.

As you can see in my avatar, I own the lightest grey PTS. CWM is too close so I'm going for White for my T.

For those that saw the car in person at the LA show, are the wheels color matched to the gray mirrors or are they the standard Platinum Satin?

Got it ... thanks again for the info ... maybe it's my ipad but I thought the car in your avatar was white.

I'm interested in this as well although I suspect it's the standard color. Is standard Platinum Satin? Doesn't look like the color is explicitly stated in the configurator.

That's why I asked too. When you build a standard car, the wheel color is listed as Platinum Satin, but the T configator doesn't say, unless you change them to Black Satin.

So, if you select the Carrera Sport Wheels, the color is explicitly stated as Platinum Silver. So I think the standard wheel is also the same color.

This is a quote from the standard equipment list on the configurator

"Wheels painted in Titanium Grey"

Here's my build for a late February or early March delivery. http://www.porsche-code.com/PJ95K4X7
Click on standard equipment and scroll to chassis and suspension.
