Default Euro style Gear Shifter on 2012 CS

In just less than a couple weeks, the euro style gear shift I ordered from Suncoast finally came today. Installation was super easy (Just like on the 911 - twist the collar lock on the old one, pull up, install the new one in reverse). I like the look and feel of the "fatter" gear shifter. Looks better aesthetically in my opinion too.

Euro style does not always mean it is superior. It's just a different style, that's all. Isn't it funny that neighbor's lawn always looks greener.

Thanks Michael. I think the wheels and the clear turn signals make all the difference in the look of the white Cayenne S.

I think in this setup it looks nice and, as a Porsche Exclusive option, it is insanely expensive.
But why you call it "Euro style"?

I don't know. That's what they call it on Suncoast's site. It's not like everything is fat in Europe. LOL.

I didn't think the Cayenne was eligible for the Exclusive Programme.
Is this a Tequipment item or actually an X VIN coded Exclsusive option?

Lewis.. that was true..but now anything goes.

This particular shifter is an Exclusive option.




The T-equipment ones include various finishes of wood and carbon in most std colors and a magnesium one.
