Just got through waxing the P!g and snapped a few shots. I'd also been looking for the right light to try to give a natural representation of the Umber interior, for anyone who might be interested in that color. I think this is fairly close.

 

Great shots, Mike! Really like the sand white, you're kind of making me regret not getting it!

 

sand white looks great, when i was ordering i wanted white but the word sand and the sample in the booklet looks creamish to me..

on my 2012 order, im def doing sand white... its completely "flat" paint, meaning no metallic correct?

 

Thanks, though I'd have no regrets if I had your beautiful silver color!

 

Mike,

Like the white, I debated between the black and white and finally went with the JBM. Still not sure I made the right decision. Love that interior color also.

I'm pretty sure even the Porsche "flat" colors have a clearcoat now which might contribute to the fact that even though it's white it has some depth to it. But it's definitely not metallic or pearl. Also while it's not really a cream white it's also not a refrigerator white either. My friend has a Honda Ridgeline that is very white and parked together you can see the difference between it and the Pepper. IMO, that's a plus.

Thanks George! I love JBM, and considered it along with white and my usual silver. Never owned white before so went that way for a change of pace.

 

Thats very nice Mike! Love the Sand White. Are you planning on doing more mods in the future?

 

Gorgeous int/ext combo. Thank you for posting Mike. I changed to JBM in the last minute from sand white. The only reason I avoided sand white was the fact that the clear bra will yellow over time and that is not a forgiving color. I saw a sand white yesterday. Absolutely stunning color for the Cayenne.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. As for mods, I'm satisfied with the car as it is. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that the exhaust is so quiet. My Carrera S has PSE, which I love, and even the Audi S4 V8 that I sold to buy the Cayenne had a more aggressive sound. In retrospect I think I would order the sport exhaust and have thought about what it would take to retrofit it. But my understanding is that in addition to the exhaust and labor a new rear valence is required so it's probably not worth it. Other than that, I can't think of anything I'd add. Got a good suggestion?

 

Yours looks amazing in White. Our local dealer had 2 demo models in White - and also a white Panamera - they all look great.

 

Sonnen sells Fabspeed exhaust, and assured me they would back any warranty concerns. The PSE with the V8 does sound glorious, and I think a worthy investment to truly revel in judicious applications of the throttle.

Regarding comment #334 - are you now considering replacing that "well engineered factory exhaust system"?

 

I can see you have a very good memory, Pops. Best be careful what I say! In the past, having installed aftermarket exhausts like the Gemballa I was referring to in that post, I can attest that some are ultimately not as satisfying from the standpoint of performance (loss of mid-range torque) or sound (drone, resonance) as the factory exhausts. At least I know with the stock exhaust that I won't have those problems. But as I learned, you'd already owned a Gemballa so my cautionary note to you on that score was unneccesary.

Anyway, if I decide I need more aural stimulation, I would indeed go with a different "well engineered factory exhaust system" like PSE.

 

Nice shine Mike!
BTW, do you really think that we should be calling the new Cayennes p!gs as well?
Maybe it's time for a poll on the subject?

 

I believe "sow", "swine", and "boar" are still available.
