Default Ordered! cayenne S 2011

After extensive research and comparing different options I conclude that in the class of the Cayenne SUV there is no comparison! (no X5, no Q7, no GL - nada...) The exterior and interior are stunning, but what really sold the car to me was the performance and handling once I test drove it.
Special thanks to Nedino for introducing me to the forum, and to Rome and bunch of other car doctors, experts, addicts and maniacs for their inputs which were extremely valuable once making my decision.
As a proud owner of Audi S4 B6 I am looking forward to receiving my new Cayenne which i recently ordered.

I have sat in them, not for extended period of time, but I currently sit in Recaro sport seat in Audi S4 and can't imagine that the Porsche seats will be stiffer... Why are you asking? Give me your concerns. Thx

Strange, IIRC, the P!g (back in the 03, 04 days) always had a single tank option, 26gal.

Are the new Cayennes coming std with a tank smaller than 26 gallons?

Seat comfort is a personal and subjective thing.
There have been some posts (here in the P!g Pen and in other forums) regarding these seats and their comfort over long trips.

26 is std in the US but it is considered "extended" else where and referred to as such in the ordering book.

If you are coming from an S4, you may want to consider PDCC. I did one of the PCA Cayenne launch drive (autocross course) events recently (autocross with full liberty) and drove the 2011 S and Turbo, both w/o PDCC; and was struck at how much more understeer and bodyroll they had compared to my GTS with PDCC. Otherwise, your order looks great and I am very jealous.

I really like the '11's interior improvements: especially the backseat legroom, flat folding rear seat w/o the need to flip the bottom cushions, and the ability to fold only the center section (i.e., surfboards).
