Thx for the photos of your new arrival on the Owners' Thread! They are reassuring, since, for me, it was a hard choice between the night blue metallic and the agate grey...I chose the blue because I have driven grey cars for the past 20 years (BMW, M-B and Audi) and wanted something different, altho I suspect that keeping a dark blue car looking clean will be a hassle. You chose the rims which I had agonized over and then opted not to order because of added expense (I ordered the 21" SportDesign wheels, which will be a bit brighter against the dark blue paint), but I did choose the Sport tailpipes in black. My interior will be Luxor beige/Saddle
brown combo. As a resident in a CARB state, I am still patiently waiting, so your photos are providing add'l hope!

Just returned from a visit to my dealer where I asked about the latest on 2018 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid certification.
His latest "Certification Delays" report (March 30) had changed the Turbo S E-Hybrid from estimated March to "mid- to late-April"
The December 22 e-mail I received from Mr. Audacious-in-the-farmyard said not to expect it before May. With a late April certification estimate, May delivery sounds about right.
I feel like I'm being strung along by Porsche for reasons unknown. They have their butts covered by the December letter, but their certification delay communication really irritates me since they seem to have known all along when it would be.
To reveal the real story would be so interesting instead of suffering this charade that's goin on.

This is the latest update from Porsche USA, according to my dealer (evidently this being dated March 30):
Panamera 4 E-Hybrid 97ABE1/Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive 97BBE1/Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo 97CBE1
...
For the EPA only certified models above we expect CARB certification around mid April.

I got mine yesterday. Finally. It’s awesome.
PAG threw in an additional 2500 off for being late (as the letter stated).
Also got to see a GT2RS in the flesh. MUCH meaner looking (and sounding) in person, I can’t wait!
