I’d order one in red! ;)

On the above GTS, I think the normal red rear lights would look better than the ‘tinted’ ones.
That’s exactly what I said, I think the normal red light would look better, the rear just needs a bit of colour.

Car looks superb

Shame it's Pirellis
Definitely the best wheels for me, in gloss black they would look awesome, oh that’s what I’ve ordered! :D

They were the 18 way in the GTS and were very comfortable but a little snug around the cheeks if you know what I mean. Strange thing was that the drivers seat felt noticeably softer than the passenger seat, my wife thought the same.
Yes the GTS did have the comfort access.

One more thing, the salesman mentioned that an email had gone out from Porsche on Monday saying Macans are now looking at delivery delays of between 2 weeks and 3 months due to shortages of aluminium and glass!

oh good gravy. I sincerely hope not. That really leaves me in the mire. I got no mention of that from my SE when I sent him some paperwork on Monday. It was Monday morning though.

If I end up with a 3 month delay I think I'll be cancelling my order and buying a Tesla.

It’s had gone out nationally, so your SE should be aware of it. The guy who told me spent most of Monday afternoon informing his customers although he did say that he knows there are dealerships who won’t tell their customers.

Right, just asked my SE (Porsche Mid Sussex). He said that my build date hasn't changed and that "Macan in general has been ok of recent". That was a direct extract from his email. Of course its possible he hasn't seen the email you mentioned but given that was Monday and its now Thursday it seems unlikely. Hopefully just another one for the forum rumour mill or its not impacting on Macans especially

^^^ Omni, don't do anything rash before you remind me of the spec, I've already got one to drive and could happily wait a while for a refresh :lol :
