that's funny

The only reason I have a black Cayenne is because the titanium edition was only availabe in 4 colors and without a doubt, black was my first choice among them. And I have to admit, everytime I buy a black car, I think to myself I thought I would never buy another black car... I think the Cayenne is my fourth one

Way to go Jeff I knew you had one more change in ya... Come on Steve its your turn! Went to the dealer myself today just to go over my order and check out a few things. Everything stands and no changes were made. I also found out I go pushed back a few days again my estimated completion date is now 4/1/08 and I hope thats not an April Fools Joke!

Ah come on! Real me have black!!

Hell, I had a black car prior, then the red Lexus SC430, now back to black.

As AC/DC once said "BACK IN BLACK"

And it's not a hobby, it's an obsession.

The black S2 was beautiful - stunning when polished and waxed - for about an hour. C4S is Great White!

Hey, wait a minute.

Steve changed his order.
Not me. I'm like a rock.

(for the record, most of my changes have been on this forum....not on the order sheet. )

When ever I start thinking of another color I go look at my black beauty and smile. I understand your decision but just remember there may be a part of you that cries when you see another Porsche but it's black!

I have exactly the same problem. Figured I should go to something easier to care for, but every time I see my cleaned car, I love it so much I don't want to let go. I try not to sweat the small stuff like a few swirl marks etc. It is a car for god's sake. As long as it look good from 10 feet away I'm happy.

Eric, I'm glad somebody's seen this in person, and thinks it looks good. The leather samples are big, but there's no way to get the whole effect of the interior with just a leather sample, and dark grey natural leather is one rare bird. I saw it with Slate Grey, and it looked great. I think it will be even better with Meteor Grey.

Dark natural grey is pretty close to black, right?

I checked out samples of Natural Grey and Black (2 ft x 3 ft) in the sun and in the shade this past weekend and they are nearly identical. Depending on the light incidence, one looks a bit more grey than the other. However, that doesn't mean you just picked the Natural Grey.

If someone mixed them up in front of me and told me to pick which one is NG, I wouldn't be able to tell unless they let me feel them (NG is softer).

Hauser - the beauty of being a p-car owner, is that you can drink any flavor koolaid you prefer.....
