I'd be raising hell with dealer GM over the careless and unacceptable way your car was handled.

Thats not even the closest to being dirty.

When the transporters have to pick these cars up, it can be snowing, raining, muddy....Port doesn't care, they have to pick it up when their time is called.
Not too long ago I found 2 german energy drink emptys in a new macan...

Really agree that the initial pictures show a pretty dirty car...

A bit of story: The car was left for one month at the Halifax port, then another 2-3 weeks at the train terminal in Montreal before been transport to the dealer. Who knows who got inside the car over there to move it.
In Montreal, during that 2 weeks, there was 3 pretty bad snow storm... so the picture I posted here were right when the car arrives at dealer, nothing was done on it yet beside removing the body wrapping. The plastic bags on passenger seats is the front lip that was sent inside the car so nobody breaks it when loading/unloading the car from truck.

Dealer is really top notch and I know the car will be prep with utmost care.
I am taking delivery next week, will post more pics of the "clean" car

The interior with the exception of some cool stitching was a bit underwhelming in my opinion. The exterior color is stunning but really struggled with the white wheels....

Finally, I got delivery tonight. Quite more impressive in the metal than on picture... the AzureBlue color and the wheels are amazing, but quite hard to render well on a photograph.

He should at least carry a shield around.

I think that white lettering would look t#ts on your Movie Star Neo @toph4242 Could do it easily with white plastidip.

Sadly for all the red white and blue touches, Porsche chose not to do seats in Chalk or at the least deviated seat centers in chalk, paired with graphite. But...
