You know what I think it is...I think it's that all their interiors are exactly the same, regardless of which model. So you're driving a $120k+ car that has exactly the same interior as a $50k car, which kinda sucks.
Even though there are always design elements that run through all (or most) Porsches, there's at least some kind of major difference that makes each car feel at least slightly special and to have its own character & personality on the inside...dashboard layout, seat detailing, etc. You just don't get that with Audi, which is a shame (and I like Audis a lot...I've had four of them in the last 20 years and my wife has a new SQ5).

How is that any different from porsche? You can have a 50k cayenne or a 200k cayenne. Interior is the same.

No, I mean across models...the interior of the RS6 Avant isn't significantly different from, say, a Q3. There seems to be more variety in the Porsche interior...you're not going to get the 911's interior in a base Macan (for example) because that interior is unique to the 911.

Bump,
I'm not seeing PCCB on the US configurator, sorry if my search missed posts but surely they would be available?

PSCBs are standard on US GTS now. The option box for them on the configurator is only to change the caliper color from red to black for $900. PSCBs are optional on the other trims at $3500. PCCBs are no longer available. I don't know if it's really missing out or not. PSCBs are supposed to give the near dustless performance of PCCBs but without the noise and less expensive rotors at the expense of slightly longer stopping distances than PCCBs but still shorter than irons. I suspect the take rate on PCCBs on Macans in the US was very low so Porsche nixed them for efficiency.

I tried to get PCCB on my Macan because I like them so much on the 911TT. Sales guy said, stay with the standard PSCB, you'll be happy. What he didn't say was, he can spec PCCB, but you'll have to wait longer for your delivery if you want PCCB.
Seeing how the vehicle is 4400 lbs, don't know if I would know the difference.

Anyone know if the insulated glass option adds weight to the car? Separately, I am confused as to the size of the fuel tank. On Porsche’s website it show 20 gallons in one place in 17 gallons in another place. Anyone know for sure which is correct?

I'll beat this dead horse one last time, I ordered a GTS today and was told that the copper content of the ceramic brakes (rotors or pads I don't know) for some models is too high for US regulations.

Dealer could be blowing smoke, there is so much written and confusion.
1. PCCB in my 120K mile experience, emit almost zero dust.
2. The articles I read refer mainly to dust from all kinds of brakes, so mostly steel.
3. I have not found anywhere that it says PCCB contain any copper.
4. Why do ROW and 911 models still get PCCB, even in the US?

An article in Porsche news room actually says the insulated glass is LIGHTER than the regular glass
