Also to point out to people that if they want to sell/trade their vehicle for a new one down the road some color and feature combinations are more popular than others.

But when it does drop into the 50s I will turn on those heated seats and even the steering wheel. Life's too short to be uncomfortable, even a little bit, when you don't need to. Maybe I'm just making up after growing up in New York with "genuine vinyl seats" but whatever the reason, if it's available, I'm getting it.

Here's a new wrinkle on all of this. True or False? Now the dealer I finally ordered from tells me that ALL Porsche new builds are MY 2019...What say ye boys??????

Would be a potential deal killer for me if the tail lights mimic the new Cayenne's and are a continuous bar (assuming the 2019 Cayenne photos are correct). The first time I saw the Macan's tail lights, as well as the 3/4 profile, I was smitten. Looked far better than the 2018 Cayenne lights which I thought were just okay in a pretty, flowery way.

Well, if that's the case, either (1) the online Configurator website is not up-to-date, or (2) the MY2019 models are virtually identical to the MY2018 models. I don't see any changes at the Porsche Configurator website for Macans, like one does for Cayennes (for example).

Not sure if anyone is still talking about how much they dislike their dealer, but if you need a good dealership in the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area, I love mine. Both the salesman and the guy who runs service are top notch. I knew the guy from the service department when he was at his prior dealership (where I bought my 911), and followed him to this new place when I bought my Macan. I liked the sales guy so much that we keep in touch outside of buying and selling P cars.
Didn't want to name them directly, but if anyone wants contact info please DM me.

When I was at Beverly Hills Porsche to test drive a used Macan S, I was telling the salesman I wanted one with PASM and he didn't understand why. When I told him I wanted to see if it would drive better with PASM he said they drive the same. Totally clueless.

IMO, heated seats are for women when they get their monthly visit from the period fairy. We ordered it on our Macan but I have never used it, plus the car is always garaged so the seats never get cold even when temperatures drop to high 30s. Yes we do get temperatures in high 30s a couple times a year here in CA. But I still don't use heated seats. I like my bum cold. That's just me. 
Anyway, the dealer should just take your order and say thank you for your business, especially if it is a purchase. The problem I see with the cars on the dealers' lots is that they are all the same crap. Black/black. Black/grey. Silver/black. White/black. Blue/black. It's just boring. Lately, all cars on the road are black, white, silver or some other variation of these hues. Just plain boring IMO. And they they have useless options like heated steering wheel or some other waste of $$$.
