You’ll enjoy it, very nice place to be. Not a 911 of course.

Only potential fly in ointment is that a new car is due next year.
Yeah, i thought about that. Hopefully the whole Porsche and their residuals will help out...hopefully! Ha

I’m out...ordered a Macan Turbo Performance today.

Was close to a 911, but got overruled on that front...had to scratch the Porsche itch, so liked this and decided it was a good place to go for a few years...looking forward to seeing thw real world photos of the RS4!
Congratulations. I was so close to one of those as well. Test drove a turbo last week dealer offered a discount on a stock turbo performance but would have needed to be in it by this Friday to do the deal. With all the options it was getting a bit rich for me. Lovely interior enjoy.
I found the same with the stock availability. They had one with c. 20k of options, even with a discount it was more than i wanted to pay for a macan.

Cant wait to pick it up, looks like a march delivery.

Here is another one who has placed an order as shared in another thread. Nogaro with glossy black exterior and carbon inlays. Other features are MMI Plus, Virtual Cockpit, Rear View Camera, Sport Exhaust, Red Calipers and a few more.

Looking for delivery w23 though, the exclusive paint added 10 weeks lead time. So a long wait awaits and it’s not getting less frustrating with all the nice reviews that are starting to come.

Build week 6 (5th Feb) confirmed. Dealer thinks April delivery, my current car is 3 years old on March 30th so let's hope just before. I have the online tracker all working so we will see.

Yes, although not quite as bad the Mercedes it's still annoying. I do like the way in which the load cover retracts in sync with the tailgate opening, wish my B8 had that.

And those E-class screens would be my worst nightmare, far too much brightness for night time driving. The Audi Virtual Cockpit is the same and doesn't have enough adjustment to lower it to acceptable levels.

Yes, I wish manufactures would start taking a leaf out of Saab's book. My old 9-5 had a night panel mode which was brilliant for driving at night, team that up with a HUD and it'd be the perfect combination.
