was your car on the queen ace that docked on the first in davisville?

curious because i have a friend waiting on a vehicle up north but his dealer said still in customs...

 

not sure what ship it was on but it did come into RI port. The truck dropped the vehicle at the dealer this past tuesday. I got word on Feb 2 that the cayenne was on a vessel

 

oh ok, so yours was 1 week before his... sounds like they have a quite a few vessels on the water at one time. (i know one landed in halifax on 1st as well as rhode island on 1st... and then both on route to houston for 9th/10th...) insane how many cars actually get "boated" over...

congrats again on the car.

 

Well, I picked it up yesterday and I am totally amazed. It turned out better than I even hoped. You HAVE to see the espresso/cognac interior in person. No photo I have seen has yet to do it justice.

The PDCC /PTV was ordered on blind faith but I'm so glad I did. It transforms the driving experience.

I'll post more impressions and photos when I get the chance. I was suffering from what I would call 'potential buyers remorse' as I was waiting since Nov when I placed the order. Wondered why am I trading in a 2 yr old GTS which performed very well and was a great vehicle??? But now, I'm so glad I did

 

Great to know that you are liking it FJ. Can't wait to see more pics and hear your impressions. You ordered the PDCC and PTV on blind faith or faith on w00t C'mon now ....

 

LOL ... yeah w00t, I ordered those handling options without having experienced them first ... didn't know if I would really appreciate them unless really pushing limits. I can tell you that I've taken the turn into my development between 30-40mph without braking and was stunned how flat the vehicle remained. The only other cars that have done that are 911 and my F430.

I think I did pretty well. My MRSP was 130 and they discounted 7K plus for 'no charge' I got new 20 inch Blizzaks on nice looking OZ rims (which I priced out on tire rack for about 3500)

 

Great deal. Good to know FJS. I just get goosebumps each time I drive my Cayenne on the first low setting and sport button on. I am amazed at the zero bodyroll despite all that weight transfer with every sharp turn.

 

Wow...very luxurious colors, I expecially like the interior!

 

We also upgraded from a 2.5-year old 2008 Cayenne GTS and it is a HUGE difference...our GTS had PDCC but the new chassis feels lighter, more nimble and is a real improvement overall...the old Cayenne feels like a Ford pickup truck in comparison. Interior is also a marked improvement over the past Cayenne GTS. Ours had full leather, and our turbo does, too, obviously (standard feature). The interior is such a leap forward. Since the CTT is my wife's car, I felt left out of the new power/interior so I traded my 2009 C4S cab in for a Panamera Turbo...but will order the new 911 when it comes out, so we will have the perfect stable (in my opinion). Can't wait! Enjoy your new CTT...one of the nicest builds I have seen.

 

Congratulations, 11 Cayenne is an amazing vehicle, such a step forward even in comparison with a pre 11 Cayenne.

Take a close look at the digital speedometer. It seems like, it's too optimistic by 6% at any speed. This is probably manufacturer intentional error. But seems like pre 11 Cayennes were more realistic with speed estimate. If you do not setup tpms tire info at the menu screen correctly, this error increases even more...

...at real/correct tomtom GPS 40 mi/h speedometer displays 43mi/h; at real/correct GPS 75 mi/h speedometer displays 79mi/h...

You may also feel this, when you drive your usual hiway speed and everybody starts to pass you...

Does you car display speed, as above described?...Please report.

 

great build. Pics pics pics.

Mine has arrived at port a couple of days ago, and will probably arrive at the dealership tomorrow, BUT tomorrow, I am getting on a plane and heading to aruba for a week.

My delivery will have to wait until around the 24-28th..... man that's killing me.....

If my salesman sends me pics and I have the opportunity to forward them from my ipad in Aruba you'll get some pre pics.

 

Jace, c'mon man ... You are killing us. I would take Umber/cream
over Aruba anyday. Just kidding. Have fun and come back and have more fun. Keep safe.

 

Imagine how i am feeling!! This is a yearly planned trip but sheesh.
it's my CTT and I can't wait!!!

But we will all get our fill soon enough, promise!
