Default New Turbo Owner

Picked her up yesterday.
Was a prior '09 and '12 Cayenne S owner after which I had a '13 RR Sport Supercharged for a little more than a year.
Initial Impression: Macan Turbo could be the best vehicle I've ever owned.
My remarks regarding the driving experience would only echo those who have already posted, so I won't be redundant.

Anyone have knowledge if clear side markers are available and where to purchase?

Looks great. Have you bought your other Porsches from Wallingford as well? New to the area and wondering how they are relative to other dealers in CT. Grats on the vehicle!

Yes. I have purchased my two prior Cayennes and my wife's Audi from Wallingford.
Always a positive experience. PM me if you would like contact people at the dealership.

Congrats! No clear side markers to my knowledge, and I wonder if they'll be made since the non-NA spec'd cars do not have side markers at all.

Bumperplugs sells painted sets for $220, I ended buying white to match my car since I really don't like the orange.

Nice look albeit pricey.
Thanks for the info.
Will wait until clears are manufactured; I'm certain at some point it'll happen.

You're prob right... I paid the price for being impatient.

Thanks, really happy with the way they came out. Was originally looking to do a plat satin, but ended up with a flat, dark charcoal satin.

After launch (and after my order) they lowered the tow capacity from 5000+ lbs to 4,400 lbs (braked trailer - unbraked is much lower). My Macan will have the tow hitch but will be incapable of towing my extremely light aluminum trailer with my GT3 on it. The tow hitch is now for bike racks and extremely light trailers.

Thank you. No towing plans. Purchased in-stock test drive vehicle (rather impulsively, I might add) because another was on its way. Options were spec'd by dealer.

Wheels are stock Spyder wheels.
