Default Picked up new GTS

Pick up my wife's GTS last Friday although I did most of the driving over the weekend (neighbors ask if it's really her car ). Overall, I quite like it and I'm looking forward to spending more time in it behind the wheel on weekends.





Quite happy with the black Spyders





We are no longer fans of black interiors (both had it in previous cars), now we like two-tones particularly with color. So that means no GTS interior (don't have it in my Cayman GTS either where I have Agate/Amber which looks amazing). If you haven't seen Garnet red in person, it's not as bright as in this picture which digital cameras tend to oversaturate.





I grin everytime I go into the garage

beautiful! Any chance you can post a pic of the LED headlights? How do they look with the day time running lights on versus with the full headlights on?

Day-time running lights is just the 4 point lights surrounding the main LED headlight. I'll see about taking some pics tonight.

Macan GTS is Volcano Grey which replaced Agate Grey. Cayman GTS is Agate Grey. Now that I've seen both, I prefer Volcano Grey which has a dark blue tone vs the brown tone of Agate Grey.

Took awhile as early in the week by the time I got home it was too dark and the 4 point lights just blended together from the camera point of view. Here's some closeups and a bit further away. With just the day running lights and also the LED lights on. What is not pictured is if you make a sharp turn, additional LED lights turn on that illuminate the side and automatically turn off when going straight

That's a very sleek and aggressive combo. I wonder how Platinum Satin wheels would look on the Macan. Congrats!

I thought it was Agate too. Was disappointed they discontinued it but that looks great. I'll have to see the VG live. Maybe some pics in the sun when you get a chance?

Finally got some sun and a free weekend. Sorry about the shadow, but I was too lazy to move my LX470.
