Default My Christmas Present

I must admit that after a very long decision process, I am getting my Christmas present today. After having a Panamera 4 as a loaner when my 911 was in for service, I fell in love with the ride and handling of the sedan. I test drove the Turbo, 4S and 4 and felt that where I live and the daily commute, the 4 was for me. I usually drive a MB E550 as my daily ride. I really loved the idea of a Porsche every day. I would love to drive my 911 daily, but alas my knees make the exit from the 911 a very painful process. I say goodbye to the E550 and pick-up the Panamera today.

My configuration is:
Carerra White/Luxor Beige
Heated/Ventilated Seats
Park assist with reverse camera
19" Panamera Turbo wheels with colored crests
Bi-xenon headlights
PAMS
Bose Audio
XM Radio
14-way power seats
Heated Steering wheel

Will post pictures later.

Like your colour choice.... just noticed you have your front indicator outside the light cluster whereas mine is within and you have a communication thing on the roof and mine doesn't... cant seeanything in your spec to suggest why yours as it and mine does not.

What are you referring to on the lights?

Post a pic of your car for comparison, please.

US:


Euro (ROW):



If you are referring to the side markers, his car is US configuration and yours are ROW. I see no additional indicator within your light cluster.

The side marker light is a USA DOT requirement. Not required in ROW.

The thing on the roof is, I think, the satellite radio antenna.

Ronniwales -

The small square on the roof is the antenna for the satellite radio, weather, navigation traffic, sports and stocks. Sorry, forgot to mention that in the configuration.
