I took a spin in a 2019 Cayenne S in Munich today. it drives very similar to my 2017. It's personal preference, but while I'm a fan off the new instrument cluster, I'm definitely not a fan of the new "touch" buttons around the gear shift.
What do they have against tactile feel? Aren't they supposed to want our eyes on the road?
Lovely fingerprints the console has all over it too. I'm sure that will help loads when there is a glare and you're trying to find the right "button"...

Even worse - the OCD crowd (I count myself in that..) will obsess with keeping the fingerprints off the pretty shiny surface - probably wiping it while we're driving.
What happened to Porsche as a driving company? Give up on the left side key/start-fob, and give us buttons to push and a PRDNL shifter..

I guess this is Porsche's way of selling more driving gloves.

Yes and in year or so it will be all marred up from rubbing it with a cloth so much.

If it's a conductive screen, and not a capacitance one, it won't even work with gloves, like most phones, unless Porsche then sells special $400 gloves with the metal infused tips likes those rounded styluses.
I had screens and touch buttons in cars - you can't find them by feel, when you hit a bump as you're trying to press it, you hit the wrong section of the screen - they just suck.

A+ ditto to all of the above.
I don't even use the touchscreen functionality in my 2014, I use the *****. I hate fingerprints. Drives me nuts when my wife drives my car because she LOVES the touch functionality and puts fingerprints everywhere. (You should see her laptop screen... it's not even a touchscreen and it's also full of fingerprints lol...)
I like buttons. While the 2019 cockpit LOOKS very cool - I can't imagine I'd enjoy living with it.
Having lived with this system in a Panamera for a week I would say the following:
The shifter is fine. Caveat, I had a BMW 5 series and didn't mind that shifter either.
The touch panels show far less fingerprints than you would think.
The touch panels move and have a tactile vibration when you press them. They feel very nice. It's not like your phone.
Younquickly get used to the location of the buttons and can easily find them via muscle memory.
The round **** for the large screen vs the roller for volume is atupid. You'll keep grabbing it and the roller is kind of awkward
Those outer gauges are a total waste.
The nav scree / main display is the real culprit. Too many choices and the logic of the layouts, even after customization, is not great after a week. Changing the radio station takes too many steps. Too much eyes off the road time
You can't flip radio presets off the wheel controls unless you have the radio presets on the big screen and then only forward and backward.
