As for people retrofitting options, some are easy (all the various lights and decals and logos and certain trim pieces, colored seatbelts…) but many are super hard and/or cost prohibitive or not possible to add at all (like tach color dial, SPASM, PDCC, PSE, rims, aerokit, leather options w/ deviated stitching, embossed leather options, seat options, headlights, Bose v Burmeister, etc.). So what aren’t you understanding? That people can’t make up their mind on options? That’s not a North American or Porsche buyer issue. It’s common for many people who are faced with an options list with literally millions, if not billions, of possible combinations. |

Yup watched through those, and another detailed video on the platform by a Discovery enthusiast (forgot his channel’s name). I’m actually surprised how much off road hardware they came with considering it was the lower priced rover of the time. Lots of things to think about - it’s really the 2nd gen Tundra’s game to lose though. I’d feel pretty confident picking up a moderate to high mileage example (150k mi) - those drivetrains are bullet proof relatively speaking

However, I agree with you on the Comp package on today's BMWs. I don't see the point in a regular M car and a Comp car. Just make all of them Comp cars. I mean, look at the prices of M5s and M8s, Give people options for wheels and trim color but leave the power and suspension alone. Same thing with Mercedes and "S" and Audi and "Performance."

More updates……
….only this time it's from my SA. My status changed from V200 to V110 because of the added CXX options (…extended leather on doors, leather door sills with deviated stitching, etc.) from my build change a couple days ago. He said the V110 status just means someone at the manufacturer just needs to sign off on my CXX options. My lock date got pushed up 4 days, so now it's only 16 days away. He informed me about the allocation issue that was mentioned by the SA at Porsche Carlsbad. He said they hadn't received any allocations since July. Porsche cancelled the allocations for all dealers in September, so they won't get any additional allocations until November. My dealer only has two new cars on the lot along with many sold cars they can't deliver due to the chip issue (…including multiple GT3's). The Cayenne's and Macan's can't be delivered because the chip they need is for the sun/rain sensor for the wipers, so there's a stop/sale due to it being considered a safety issue. The other cars with the 18-way seats/power columns are affected, further adding to the already known TPMS chip issue. Cars are only being shipped with one key to conserve chips. They are sold out until at least March of next year (…based on their running lists). There was some speculation the AeroKit would be made available in January, but I'm unwilling to risk it. I'll just add the GT3 duckbill in the year 2027, once the chip issues are over. |

*sigh* looks like it's getting the 7 series / x7 grille treatment. You know one thing that's been bothering me lately? There's this narrative being pushed by BMW and parroted and promoted by the pro ugly crowd on social media that BMW's designs were previously perceived as "boring", "dated", and "not aggressive". Where exactly was there a consensus that any or all of the above was true? I don't remember anyone complaining about that, at least not with enough cohesiveness to warrant such a radical change.
Further, so BMW is boring, yet Audi and MB haven't fundamentally changed their design language over time and they're not boring? MB's whole fleet of vehicles now look like variations of the AMG GT, but they're not boring? Go from arguably the prettiest and sharp looking M3 to a total bug-eyed blob fish and all of a sudden the blob fish is "modern" and "aggressive"? Again, it just seems like a cop out to justify such a radical change. I guess if you say something enough times people believe it's true.

I'm not an off-road/overlander kind of enthusiast, although i can appreciate the vehicles. But you guys talking about Land Rovers might want to check out the upcoming Ineos Grenadier - it's supposed to be a modern interpretation of a classic Defender, with modern tech and none of the drawbacks of LR's. Still not confirmed to be sold in the US though

Also they've got rid of the exhaust tips to make it cheaper, just like VW AG and most european brands seem to be doing.

Yeah I keep telling my boss he’s lucky he got his allocation at MSRP! Now he’s thinking of picking up an OG 911, 964, or 993 to restore in the office while waiting for the 992. I’ll have the pleasure of sacrifice half my office to keep the engine in there on a stand to work on after hours. I’ve got mixed feelings about it lol
