Leather Con. Looks great really gives a nice finish. I was up in the air but went with Carbon Con. Thought it would look nice with black and would be a more durable con. But do what you can justify. Only one chance to get the Turbo S right

Car sounds great. Keep me in loop if you hear anything about delve date.

Congrats

GJ, the dealer told me the delivery date will be in May. I'll report any updates. Incidentally, this dealer, in Northerrn Va., received six turbo s builds - three each of coupe and cab. Two may be remaining unsold, I believe one of each.

Does your dealer have any ideal how many Turbo S will be built and how many of each style.

My dealer got one coupe first then said he talked them out of a Cab. 6 wow must be a large dealer

not meaning to go OT, but did you know Porsche is discontinuing the malachite green and nordic gold for next year? I remember you saying you loved that color!

yes I found that out when I ordered Turbo S went with Ice Blue .

Wife really liked Ice Blue for some reason I am already thinking should have paid for color to match but for some reason she loved the Black and Blue Int.

I really like the leather center console. Unfortunately leather seat backs and leather visors really work as well.

My dealer told me the leather visors, and especially leather seat backs, are nice but not worth the money: $550 and $1870, respectively.

Have leather visors and seat backs in natural brown on my 2008 Turbo. Just my opinion, but I dislike painted plastic (seat backs) and other trim. For me, the visors are well worth the additional cost; strictly personal preference...it may be worthwhile to complement the visors with leather on the dome light and the headliner (do not like the standard alcantara in black which darkens the interior and may conflict with other interior pieces). Order what is right for you...without any optional trim, it will be an incredible car.

You sure about that? Chattanooga is about a 6 hour drive from Memphis, and it's still in TN. You must really drive fast...

i think rear center console in leather is a must. should be standard. it's ridiculous the standard is plastic. if you are going with deviated stitching, then it's a double must, so you can get the deviated stitching to flow. i also think door finishers in leather is a good option. not as noticable as the center console, but another area where the plastic makes the car look cheap.
