You guys who are planning their next option list before the most recent vehicle has barely even arrived (if at all) crack me up. 
As for the Porsche V6, if true, that might be subject to change given the fact that Audi will be responsible for future SUV development in the VW/Audi/Porsche universe.

LOL.
lesson is, i should have bought a smart car when i sold the 997.2 so i wouldn't have to daily drive the Exige (not a bad car to drive myself, but not ideal for passengers...), call me crazy but i just LOVE a white smart car with red interior with a black tridion. MMmmm
i got some other fun stuff lined up for my trip, so should be exciting few days coming.

Scott: Where and how did you hardwire the Passport? I want to do the same on my Cayenne. Did I understand correctly that the OEM hood badge is now plastic? I have not had the chance to really go over my truck, it is still in PDI and then the electric trailer brake controller needs to be installed. While they are doing that the wheels are off for powder coating. Will finally get it later this week.

Start with your "phone" wire down there. You can pull back the A pillar on the inside just a bit, not completely, and fish the wire along the outside edge of it. When you get to the top, you will want to course it medially and start pushing it under the front headliner. I did not pull the headliner back. Rather, I left a lot of slack down by the fuse box and just pulled it into place- along the A pillar and headliner as I went. You can push it under the headliner very easily with a flat nose screwdriver or credit card. When I got to the light cluster, I removed the flimsy black piece that fits over the overhead light. Just pull it from the very front. I crossed the wire over that area and mounted the Passport on the passenger side just next to the rearview mirror.
Back down at the fuse box... Now you have to go to Autozone and get a fuse tap- 10 watt Buss fuse tap. They are 5 bucks. Wire the fuse tap to the red wire on your phone cable. Attach two 5 watt fuses to the tap. For the ground, you will want to splice to the green wire on your phone cable. I grounded to a bolt that was just above the fuse box- very easy to do and see. Just loosen and ground it there.
Plug in your fuse tap to any one of the open three spaces at the bottom of the panel. They are switched with the ignition.
You should be in business.

beautiful car, I'm trying to swap the hood crest but having trouble getting at the bolts, what tool did you use and how'd you remove the bolts: Do I need to get a rachette set?

Yes, you do. Don't remember the size, but it should come off fairly easily. Just pull from the top when you feel the bolts are loose.

My guy went 24" up on the hood. The front bumper is all one piece. The front fenders are just the 24" back. That will protect it fine. It's not going on the track. You can always do more, but I leased mine so I didn't want to go nuts on it.
