Hi guys,
I've been inside of both full leather cayennes and panameras, and have been looking at pictures online. Don't you guys think that cayennes have a more attractive interior? Contrast stitching in a espresso/cognac combo from a cayenne looks stunning, does panamera even have contrast stitching?

 

You can special order anything your heart desires as long as you have the money to pay for it. It's called Porsche Exclusive. They will provide zebra stripes with blaze orange stitching if you want.

 

It's down to personal preference which ever interior is more "attractive" to you. Personally in terms of layout and feel I think the Panamera's interior edges out a little. The reason is Cayenne's trim panels are small and close to non-existent like as if they are trying to hide it between gaps and crevices, whereas the Panamera has slabs of trim pieces everywhere. Even the gear lever looks and feels better in the Panamera. Build quality wise they are equal. The amount of customisation FROM the BROCHURES the Panamera again wins hands down.

 

I have them both and the quality is the same. The instrument lay out is the pretty much the same. To me it's the same vehicle on the inside except the seats are different. I'll admit that I haven't spent much time in the Cayenne because it's my wife's DD. I drive something else on the weekend.

 

I have driven both extensively.

To me, I really like the Panamera set up a little better than the Cayenne. I think, especially with the driving dynamics of the Panamera, it is more ****pit like.

However, I still love my Cayenne Turbo. The space is a necessity for me. I have thought about trading, but just can't justify the price delta.

Ophtho, what do you drive on the weekend? Just curious...

It's hard to justify when you can get a CTT for the price of a P4 unless you are concerned about the gas price.

 

still dont get the 20k-25k between the vehicles.. especially since the cayenne has more room, spare tire, offroad ability and more storage..

i like the full leather on the cayenne because it just seems you get more bang for the buck but the big pet peeve i have is that panel between the lower center console bit (that comes leather) and the upper center console piece (that can be ordered leather) its not leather and cant become leather as far as i have looked... its just plastic and in a very prime area...

anyone know how to get that piece in leather? the upper piece i heard you can get leather with the extended leather option..

Very nice.

If reimbursement continues to decline, I may have to wait a while to add my third car. Stupid insurance/government...

 

Thanks.

It continues to get worse for us....

 

They have got to stop somewhere. Just don't know how low they think they can go. You can only see SO many people in one day...

Anyhow, love your PTT. Really thought about one spec'd pretty close to that. Just ended needing the room of the CTT.

 

The first thing Congress need to learn is that Social Security and Medicare are not government money. These entities are funded by the public for the benefit of the public with public funds directed specifically to those entities for allocation for specific purposes they are not part of the federal general fund nor part of the federal budget and are not funded by citizen income tax dollars. Every worker receiving a pay check since 1937 has contributed to Social Security with an equal amount coming from his/her employer. Social Security is not an entitlement it is the publics money not the governments! Now Every pay check and every Social Security check issued since 1966 has included a deduction to fund Medicare. Public contribution to a designated entity for a designated purpose for distribution back to the public as determined by the publics need at a later date. The funds there fore and not part of the general fund or the federal budget and are not coming for federal income tax dollars paid to the government and they are not entitlements. Sorry totally off topic but had to vent!

 

well said, I wonder how much the reimbursement would have gone down by the time I finish my Critical Care fellowship........

 

I think it will plateau. I really do. If anyone continues to have cuts, will likely be specialties (sorry guys) with specific services, especially outpt. However, you never really know. I think with the recent elections and new congressional make up, we are less likely to see the deep cuts we may have seen before. The looming Medicare cut that keeps being pushed back scares me most right now. At some point, it will either happen or Medicare formula will have to be scrapped and redone.

My brother in law is in his 4th year Uro residency at PENN and I keep telling him things are really gonna change more for him then me. Us internal guys are a little bit more safe as we are not so procedure oriented. I really feel bad for my surgery friends.

 

Also, sorry for the thread hijack!
