Lol. Yea, I couldn't get it to reduce the size very well & retain clarity, so I wasn't happy with it.
plus I had posted a pic of it over on g8tor20's other thread for "favorite (not obvious) features (painted lower half of mirrors)

But since you've asked...

Nice! it has that Storm Trooper look. Also like the mirror base in body color. Mine has all gloss black mirrors, I'd prefer body color at this point but I suppose it will grow on me.

Awesome ride. I'm loving the white more and more on these cars.

Also - question from a Cayenne newbie. What are the black plastic bits directly under the headlamp washers? Just curios

It's part of the signal bar housing.

Sport design package with side skirts, ACC and Air suspension are my favorites on our 15 CD. Aero kit makes it look similar to a GTS

Keyless entry or entry and drive?
Xenon lights
Tow package
Heated seats
Rear View Camera with Front and rear bumper sensors

Everything else is icing on the cake..

In other Porsches, I rarely turn on the stereos because they simply can not compete with the symphony of the engine/gear/road noise, it is a totally involving environment. In the CTTS, I am tending to listen to the stereo because the combination of sound insulated glass and the Burmester is stunningly good!

With under 500 miles of seat time in the CTTS, I am finding quite the paradox. The sport exhaust makes a marvelous motor sound and love the stereo as well, I'm torn…

The real question is: How many of us become less involved drivers when listening to a great sound system?

definition of "involved"

no doubt though. Very different experiences between driving my 964Turbo & 958CTT. Both great, but both different.... in a good way.

I just wish I had more Porsche's to drive,... and figure out how many OTHER "involvements" there are!!!

I gotta add though, there's no experience quite like the stomach butterflies I get by driving the 964 Turbo. That thing scares the crap outta me everytime I get on it.

I had a 2012 Touareg TDI before my 2016 CD. While they may not be options, I like the sharper handling and how the Cayenne looks. The looks did have to grow on me a little though as I never thought much of them until I had to find a replacement for my 2012 as VW will be buying it back.

Overall, I like the dash/guages, the wheel and the seats.

Thankfully I got just what I wanted, Luxor/Black, Pano roof and the Premium package.

No kidding! I had a 1986 Euro Turbo in Guards Red over Savannah with sport seats and ahem… power enhancements. It was a thrilling car to drive and challenged my driving skills to the max. Think Adrenaline!

Your 964 has only a tad bit of the Dr. Killer oversteer tuned out, so it has to be a thrill ride!

This 958 CTTS has several personalities that I have discovered so far. The nearly luxury sedan feel of the "comfort mode", and the sharply tightened Sport and Sport Plus modes. Today I went from calmly listening to a Bach concerto in "Comfort mode" to windows down to hair on fire "Sport Plus Mode" with the push of a few buttons and the exhilarator! WOW what fun!

Ben, What are they going to do with all of the buyback Touaregs? I have a friend that wants one that has taken the depreciation hit.

The 2009-2012 3.0L Gen1 TDI's can't be modified-hence the buyback. It is too bad as the Treg I had was fantastic but I'll admit, the 2016 CD is even better.

More than likely they are going to be dismantled then crushed-that is the most likely rumor anyway.

The EPA has not approved nor has VW submitted a fix for the GenII 3.0L TDI's yet so it remains to be see what will happen with them.
