I can tell you from experience, Quartzite is a great color for a daily-driver, though to keep it from blending into obscurity you have to wash often anyway. Keep a good coat of high-gloss wax or sealant like TAC Moonlight on it to make that gray car pop! Enjoy your beautiful car! Love those turbo wheels, too. Great pick that!

Yeah totally agree with your assessment - so far the ceramic treatment has been keeping it nice and shiny, but I'm still in the phase where I'm walking around the car a few times a day to wipe off any spots or handprints from the kids.
Love those Satin Platinum wheels with Quartzite Grey. I've always wondered why nobody seems to buy that combo, or Satin Platinum in general on the Cayenne. Really sharp. That's probably the best-looking coupe I've seen.
Got rid of the 12’ Panamera S Hybrid and got a 2019 base back in December. Wasn’t the color I wanted or a fan of the lower plastic trim on the doors and rear bumper so I decided to match it.
Finally got myself a Cayenne after thinking about a dozen or so options. Love it!
Base that was very close to my build. Her home will be the Georgia coast. She hasn't met anyone here who doesn't love Biscay Blue. Those wheels... The silver tailpipes were a bonus that weren''t on my build. Another bonus. I hadn't seen the slate grey / mojave beige, but took the gamble and I love it. I came from a 2013 Audi A6 Prestige. Another excellent interior. The rear end is The Show, isn't it? Very happy to find this beauty...
Purchased a 2019 Cayenne last week and I'm just new getting around to posting a few photos. It's a new car, but since it's a previous year model, I got a big discount. Build: Quartzite Grey/Black, 21" Cayenne Exclusive Design wheels, leather package, adaptive air suspension w/PASM, premium package plus, window trim in high-gloss black, clear taillights, deletion of model designation, trailer hitch, ParkAssist surround view. The only thing missing that I wanted was Sport Exhaust Tips in black, which I plan to add.
I'm coming from a 2017 X5 50i M-Sport with dynamic handling package and 20" wheels so that's my frame of reference.
Initial impressions:
Handling: Really impressed with the air suspension/PASM. Handles much better than the X5 (better turn-in, less floaty, better steering feel).
Acceleration: Despite just being the base engine, it feels plenty strong. Not as violently fast as the X5 (445 HP V8) under full throttle. But accelerator response is actually crisper and more linear than the X5.
Braking: very touchy. The X5 brakes were less sensitive. Hopefully I'll get used to the greater sensitivity.
Dashboard/center console: I really like the way it looks. Love the resolution of the PCM screen. However, I slightly prefer BMW's iDrive controller **** vs. the touchscreen interface.
Overall luxuriousness of interior: Very happy with the quality of materials, fit & finish. Glad I got the leather package.
14-Way Seats: great balance of comfort and firmness, lots of support.
Also took delivery of a 2019 base at a great discount. Essentially same as 2020 and was the (almost) exact spec I wanted. It’s Quartzite Grey/Black with 21” RS Spyder wheels.
Only thing missing was heated steering wheel but with the money saved, I can buy any gloves I want!
