The rear cargo mat doesn't fit 100% so the dealership thought they ordered the wrong 1. Corporate replied that, at least for now, this was the correct mat. Go figure! I'm on the fence as to whether I want it.

... It has PASM no air suspension and then all the normal bells and whistles including back up camera ( makes trailer hook up a breeze. One option few order is the fire extinguisher, tucks nicely under the front of the passenger seat. Looking forward to a long trip in it this month.
TIA

Looks great! That steering wheel looks very sporty. I liked the smaller (than my touareg) size of the multi so I got that one.
I opt for darker interior because of dogs and my all around ability to just get sh*t dirty. Looks nice though. Congrats.

Great color combination and options. We are looking for something very similar now that the 928GTS sold. We may see what inventory exists or order new.

we had PASM and air suspension on our 2008 Cayenne GTS and rarely even played with the air suspension. On our twin to the Diesel, a 2011 Cayenne S we have PASM but no air suspension. The Cayenne S has over 35,000 miles on it of which over 10,000 is towing our enclosed Trailex trailer and I never miss air suspension. I did not want the added weight and potential maintenance of air suspension. You also lose a little storage in the rear for the mechanicals of the air suspension. Do like PASM.

We have had the Cd for not quite a week and have put over four hundred miles on it. For those waiting, we have learned one thing already. If you have a friend that you deal with at your local filling station you won't see them very often any more. So far our mileage is around 24-15 in town, 33 aprox. doing 75-77 (love Texas speed limits) and right at 35 when doing 65-70 and she is not nearly broken in yet. This past weekend I had to tow our regions enclosed 8 ft autocross equipment trailer and I got a smooth 23 which included over 30 miles at 70 mph. What a great vehicle and so quiet, you would only know it's a diesel if you looked at the badges.
Acceleration, even at highway speeds with the trailer is better very good. I'm looking forward to towing my Trailex enclosed trailer with it. I really don't see why anyone would want to pay for the V8 diesel even if they could get one here. Yes 700+ ft lbs of torques sounds great but you would never use it as the Cayenne is chassis limited to towing 7700+ lbs.
Yes better pictures are coming

It's a Cayenne D...cigars for everyone. I was expecting mine around the end of August....dealer emailed me from Spokane and it dropped this weekend. We will drive over to take delivery the end of the week. I have some questions regarding some finish treatments but will post that on a new thread. :-)

I'll have better highway fuel data soon enough. So far loving it though.
