Thanks guys for the comments re the GLA45 AMG. I'm sure it's not right for me, but the interminable wait (originally quoted 13 months for a petrol S but it's now looking like it will be c 18 months) makes it tempting to look eslewhere. Trouble is, it's hard to find anything else - the F-Pace doesn't...

The GLA45 AMG looks quite tempting - even well-specced it's a fair bit cheaper than a Macan S and a lot quicker. Anyone know what the lead time is? Only having these dark thoughts because my S was ordered in Feb 15 and I've just been told delivery will most likely be in Q3 this year!

Orders placed for S models in last 6 months

Didn't you do well! I ordered a petrol S in Feb 2015 and have just been told it's unlikely to arrive in March. Still waiting to hear if it will come in Q2.

2015 car sales

Hi Goron,I didn't go to other OPCs as the original timescale given suited us. I imagine if I go to others now I'll be at the bottom of their lists and will effectively be starting again. As others on the forum are being quoted 12 months+ for a petrol S from now, I'm not sure there is much to be gain...

2015 car sales

+1 re ramping up production. I ordered a petrol S in Feb 2015 and was told to expect delivery in March this year. Now being told this is unlikely, but I have not yet been able to establish if that means it will come in Q2.

The Dark Blue Club!

I think Night Blue might be lighter - have a look at this:https://hoehn.porschedealer.com/new/Porsche/Panamera+4+Edition/2016/Night+Blue+Metallic/blue/1273487/info.phpOf course, the Macan Night Blue might be different......Really pleased though to see that the Luxor beige interior can now be had wit...

Only in Sapphire Blue

Looks fabulous. I'm jealous of your quick delivery time too - ordered mine in February and no sign of lock down yet.

Have fun!

Driving Experience

Hi M6. Just shared the Porsche experience with my wife. The way it works is you get half each - so an hour and a half each with the instructor. Passengers are not allowed so the non-driving half has to wait in the lounge - but there is free coffee etc. We thought it was fine - our instructor (Kat) w...

2016 model production

Interesting - just been speaking to a friend who also has a petrol S on order and he has been told three zone aircon is now a no cost option. Even better, he was told 19 inch wheels are also a no cost option (as in the US I believe).Anybody out there heard anything? I went back on the configurator s...

Pronunciation

Macahn is how it is pronounced in German - but as the name is apparently the Indonesian word for tiger, what does it matter? I bet the Indonesians pronouce it quite differently from us Brits or the Germans!
