Ohhhhh Congrats!
Hope you are able to lock the APR down, though I don't know if you can do it this far away lol.

(1.) The Taycan is fucking huge! Range Rover: 197″L x 78″W, cargo max: 69 cu ft Taycan: 195″L x 78″W geezus!, cargo max: 14 cu ft F80 M3: 184"L x 74"W, cargo max: 17 cu ft What in the actual fuck? An F80 is a foot shorter, 4" thinner and has 3 more cu ft of storage space? Oh, and a Taycan is the same footprint as a fucking Range Rover? (2.) Weird-ass B-Pillar who was the Einstein that designed the B pillar??? I’m a tall guy, 6’ 4”, and I have a helluva time getting in and out of the car. Because of the design of the B pillar, ingress/egress is a bitc*. I would love to take a Sawzall to the B pillar--forum link (3.) Quality Issues? Consumer Reports Pulled Recommendation of Porsche Taycan There are lots of internet anecdotes I won't bother posting, but it's enough where I'd say if this isn't your 3rd or 4th car, and/or you're expecting typical Porsche quality, you might be disappointed ... Anyway, I'm not ready for an enormous sedan that's tough to get in and out of with potential reliability/quality issues that has limited range. Kinda hard to make the but-there-aren't-many-better-options-honey argument. |

The crank hub was one of the reasons I sold my last one and never really considered another. I want to be able to tune, tinker, run e85, etc without worrying about spinning the hub. My other complaints were sound and numb steering. Well BMW isnt fixing their steering anytime soon and the exhaust seems to be better with a single mid pipe. Heard one at a car show. A big plus is the styling of an F80. Its a beautiful car IMO. I would be looking for a 16-17 NON comp pack manual with full leather in the $40s. Not a fan of the icon headlights or the comp pack wheels/seats. No way would I pay over $50k for one. |

I don't plan to tune in the foreseeable future; if any, just a slight bump in power and I'm happy. Last edited by CT_M3; 12-04-2020 at 12:12 PM.. |

You're not alone. Aside from the extra power, just about everything different about the comp pack was a drawback to me vs. the base car. Sounds dumb, but I think there were enough differences between the 2 that it could be argued that they were made for 2 different kinds of customers.

The only reason I ordered the ZCP for the 20 was to switch it up a little. It's not worth the 4-5 grand for the package that's for sure. |

Nice to see the M2CS take the EVO car of the year for 2020.

Paperwork for my Macan GTS all done. Taking delivery tomorrow, while probably saying goodbye to our Macan S.
Dealership also promised me an allocation for a GT4 if that is indeed my next car, told me no markup either. Said the 992 GT3 has no current release date but markup for that car will be there. There will also be markups on the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. If there is any other complaint for Porsches, the mark ups annoy me a lot.

Good video. His point of BMW's i and M division's conflicting market campaigns around the 5-minute mark was very interesting.

I don't know what car would compel me to beg dealership personnel, buy lesser models to qualify, negotiate over msrp, and hand over 20k for indefinite safe keeping before release date is even known and purchase terms official, but I haven't driven it yet. Not into secret codes for the privilege of spending 6 figures on a car. Low mileage and CPO so much easier.
