Please fix your description/order to Carrara White, instead of Carrera White, before Dan scolds you! Shhhh! And we won't tell...

Nice specs.

However, I am a little surprised you are going with a brown interior (Espresso) and a black top.

Congrats! In case you are looking for feedback, I would highly recommend the sport chrono, particularly with the pdk.

No more surprised than I was...until I found out that Red or Agate were the only other premium choices. I have been in a 2010 White S Coupe, with Black Standard Leather, for the past two years, and needed a change. Espresso, which I saw on the panemera, seemed the most Luxurious and tailored, plus it seemed darker than the Black full leather.

Wanted this to be more of a luxurious cruiser than a track car, hence the CAB.

As for lack of sports chrono, I had it n my 06 and wasnt a fan.I prefer the feel of the car without that feature. Aesthetically speaking having had both the dash looks cleaner as well imho, and with the new sport button, I anticipate that it might be similar with the PDK.

Didnt much care for a brown top, and if you go to see the Exclusive section of the P website, and see the white Carrera cab You can see why. what would have been fantastic would be if I could have gotten the interior cloth in brown.

The car was already slated for the dealers showroom, and when I came in last week and asked, He gave me the build slot...Great Guy! the allocation period whatever that means is X05 and its supposedly being built this week, and will be here at the end of April...or the begining of May.

Broke down and added Sport Chrono...Dynamic engine mounts and all...Hope that this is better than what I had on my 06 Tiptronic...
