Default New CWM GTS!

Went with my dad and picked up his new DD last weekend! He let me design it and basically gave me free reign with the options so I checked quite a few boxes for him

Options:
CWM, GTS interior pkg (red stitching), premium pkg plus, LED headlights incl PDLS+, trailer hitch, sport chrono, 18-way seats w memory, smoking pkg (for the extra outlet), cf interior pkg, heated mult-function steering wheel in cf, illuminated door sills in cf, pcm, connect plus, park assist front/rear/surround, side blades in ext color,

First impressions: (based on my short ~25 mile drive before handing the keys over)
1) First off, the car sounds amazing and is pretty da*m quick! Even better/faster than I was expecting, and with Porsche, my expectations are always very high! It really jumps when you get on! The car feels lighter and more powerful than the figures claim... Typical Porsche magic
2) It is very comfortable; granted I DD'd my 987 Spyder with buckets for the past 3 years and have now moved to the GT4, so most other cars feel comfortable to me, but still The car can be loud and aggressive with all of the right buttons clicked, but if you want to just drive in peace and comfort, it can certainly do that
3) I'm quite jealous of the new infotainment system! Really wish my GT4 had it The graphics on the nav are superb and the apple car play with wifi hotspot are pretty neat! (Finally Porsche is ahead of the game in this category)
4) Lastly, the overall look of the car inside and out came out perfect imo!! When we picked it up, it was parked right next to a regular white cayenne... If anyone is on the fence on color, particularly metallic vs non, I would recommend the metallic. Both look great, but the CWM just pops and looks much better to me!



There she is next to my GT4

Looks great! I was waiting for a GTS, but ended up taking a Macan Turbo. You speced out a very nice build. Bought from West Houston also, they are great to work with. Did you get the GT4 from them as well?
