There is a negative situation as well: if you order a package but want the Panorama sunroof you end up paying for the Panorama sunroof but get no credit for the Moonroof that is in the Package. I can't believe that Porsche doesn't simply charge you the upcharge for the Panorama since you have already 'paid' for the Moonroof. I am actually now trying to modify my order to delete the Premium Package and only add on the specific items from the PP that I want in order to not negate the $1290 sunroof cost that I will have paid for in the PP.

yeah, sometimes the options work the opposite way.. the sunroof is one of those kinks.

perhaps the biggest issue is the cost of the VW 6 vs the PAG 8, the rest is a marketing departments dreams

Interesting post. I did something similar looking at the CS vs the CTT I ordered - I think it was less than $10K for the turbo engine. The sport package on the CTT includes PDCC, PTV Plus, and the Sport Steering wheel with Paddles for the price of PDCC alone.

I found the difference of CTT and CS around $17,910...

CTT + Premium package Plus = $113,375

CS configured the same = $95,465...

I think average CS with options costs $80-85k.... the base price is really misleading!

the difference really depends on the options chosen... but i would like to put a detailed comparison from the bottom line turbo to the S (adding whats standard on turbo) to get a difference..

from first glace looks like 14k difference taking into account the bose/18 way seats/full leather/premium package/free premium paint/park assist/sport exhaust/pasm/turbo wheels/heated front seats/heated steering/alcantara headliner/aluminum trim. (i know more is standard but need to find my booklet for exacts)

basically... 11k more for CS and like 12-13k more for TT.. makes the TT a true bargain imo against the v8. (solidified my theory they make it easily justifiable to jump to next model, same with options/packages)

last Cayenne S I ordered was an 08 , with pasm and preferred package plus..

not sure if i would order or get a left over '11 at years end

The big shock is how little the options are worth at the end. Maybe it's age (mine) but many of the options are lost on me after a few miles.

I had a very lightly optioned 996 C2 -- about the only thing it had was Bose and red seat belts and interior accents. When it was damaged I coughed up for a TT -- in many ways not as much fun -- it's an amazing car - not worth twice the price.

I had a CTT for a few days - the original sticker was in the $130's -- it was nice -- but I would buy any number of cars before I bought a Cayenne for 130k.
