Build date for my Turbo was 10/6, just loaded on the boat today. Yes, the waiting is the hardest part!

 

TT? WOuld love to see pictures of the Pano roof and exteriors.. helps us waiters, wait.

 

I did post some interior pics of the roof (i'm not that good with technology; another good sport member helped me out!), they are under photo's-search the forum; they are there. This weekend I will be in it again, I will take pics of the interior screen closed in the direct sun so that everyone can get an idea of how much light is filtered. I love the pano roof, It's perfect in my opinion, but, I love the sun, everyone is different. The 2 issues I have so far with the car are (i) the car shutting off when stopped (you can turn this feature off, but I forget) is alarming-it reminds me of when my old cars in the 80's used to stall; and (ii) in the bright daylight, not direct sun, I find it difficult to read the speedo and tech, etc, if I knew this in advance, I would have ordered white dials. I will get used to it, and the good news, this thing got 22.6 mpg on the highway, I find that impressive. Overall, BIG improvement over the '08 "S", which I also liked. Any questions, please ask...

 

ccexxp1, I will post them for you like the last time. A couple of shots of the wheels and your black dials too please.

 

Ok, since I will take the camera and the car, I will take pics of the (i) pano roof screen/sun, etc, (ii) the dark dials (without flash so you don't think I'm crazy), (iii) the wheels (they are the TT wheels-nothing special)..anyone need any other pics? I don't mind, as I recall the waiting (and I'm not the patient type), and I had so many questions. Another neat thing is the way the front of the seat extends electrically, sort of like my sister's S550, very comfy.

 

You may find, as I did, that Porsches are now delayed in port for an extended time, which of course is frustrating as your car is stateside but can't get to your dealer.

My 911.2 was in port for over 2 weeks before being shipped to the dealer in August. My wife's Cayenne has been sitting in port for 2 weeks waiting for transport.

Apparently Porsche NA has really screwed up the US transport process, and dealers and customers are paying the price.

So, don't get too excited if your car has made it to port. The hard part of the journey is still ahead...

 

I just ordered a 2011 Cayenne 6 yesterday, he said it's not expected until mid march, I don't need it until April anyway... but yeah, that's a while.

 

Yes, there are delays in port for delivery of cars in the Northeast (Davisvill, RI).

Aslo, there is a several week manufacturing delay for cars ordered with aluminum roof rails.

 

If one's build date is say Dec 2, what is the last day to make changes to the build specs before it is actually locked ?

 

Dealers have said it is about 30 days but in my case the car locked in almost 7 weeks before build date without notice so get your changes in asap

 

Not a big deal, but I really think the wheel arch extension with side door protection is a waste of $$. I'll call the dealer and see if I can still cancel it on my order.

 

just ordered a 2011 Cayenne turbo today! so excited!!

 

I oredered my poor mans Cayenne S Sept 15....build date Nov 8. The dealer estimated 3-4 weeks before it hits the dealership. It's quite a bit of waiting compared to BMW. BMW offered me a delivery date 1 month after placing my order. That is amazing.

 

I ordered my S same day and same build date. let's hope we have luck in customs!

 

3-4 wks to hit dealership sounds optimistic. My CTT build date was 10/6, car is on boat now and scheduled to reach port 10/29, will still need time to clear port and be trucked to dealer after that.
