Agree totally on the Sport version, love the Turismo, but better without all the Volvo like rubbery bits!

Here in Calabasas California USA. Recently got a slot for an allowcation. Spec'ed a GTS Sport Turrismo. Was VERY reluctant on Taycan. Really THOUGHT I wanted one though. When they came out I loved, do love the look. Not thrilled with range and interior. A pre-owned sales mgr green demo car 2021 Cross Turrismo came up about six months ago with about 2,000 miles on it. My salesman knew that I wanted one. He called me in and I test drove it. He had me take it home for the weekend. Loved it. I have a several (4) 911's and wife # 5's Macan GTS in additon to a soon to be built Dakar 911 in the werks! It drove great and I really like the look however I was STILL EXTREMLY disappointed with the interior. At that price point, I expected SO much more. So I told him I'd think about it: but I also expressed that I was VERY disappointed and PASSED on TAYCAN. He of course reminded me that it was a Sport Turismo spec'ed out with just a few options. He then pushed the Panamera and I was just disappointed and disillusioned. So a few weeks ago he reaches back out to me and ask me what I'm thinking and I tell him: I see them around I REALLY like them, yet at that price point I can't deal with THAT plain interior. My daily driver is a V12 GTC4 Lusso. Great leather, etc, etc, etc. So he said why don't I come on in and give it a try and spec one out and let's see what it looks like. I was not satisfied with the Taycan Cross Turrismo GTS interior options and the Leather Alcantara mix options, etc. So we leaned into Sonderwunsch spec approval. We are waiting on a response! Beluga Black paint to sample with P.T.S pearl white highlights. Gloss white on some key interior trim parts, others in gloss bkack. Black and white two- tone full leather interior with Pasha checkerboard inserts on seats and front/ rear door panels with more black than white. White contrast stitching. White/ red GTS logo STITCHED darker black seatbelts with contrast white stiching. Partial white and black full leather combo dash with chrono clock in white covered in white with contrast black/red stitching.. High gloss black and white Mission E style original wheels with paint to sample pearl white calipers. In addition to near every tech option, remote park, night drive, etc. Rear wheel steering, etc. White exterior badging, white roof rails. No pass display! Plus a few more that I cant say till approval and prospect delivery.

It is a minimal interior, and given the other cars you've listed there you're talking a lot of buttons... Could be that's just what your used to. I get on with it ok now. I think you'll warm to it, except the cup holders 😆

@@TABonTV Exactly. When the Taycan first came out I did NOT like it visually speaking, except for those Mission E wheels. But I was intrigued. It literally grew on me. The more and more I see them on the road the more I see them the more I like them. That part really bothered me that I had to "warm up" to it. Yet that car was always on my mind: and then the Cross Turismo came out which is reminiscent of my Lusso and I am sold-bodywise. At first I too thought it was the lack of buttons, etc. My latest 911 the Turbo S also lacks buttons but it still has style. And my salesman kept telling me keeps telling me you had 911's since the late 80's and you're used and accustomed to the 911 interior midd with the slight changes over the years. We did a normal upgraded spec and that still was not good enough(at that price point: and not to mention what they're going to mark it up to after it arrives that really gets me) and then his GM went to the Special Wishes program, and now we're just waiting to see if they will approve it: because they have NOT done a Taycan. SUPPOSEDLY!

@@TABonTV Exactly. And IRONICALLY as I was responding to you, my cousin calls and tells me his wife’s 9 year old Range Rover just hit 100K miles she likes the Taycan sedan, etc. etc. So they want me to set them up with my guy and I called him just now we’re going to see him on tomorrow Friday so they can test drive a Taycan sedan and see what we can work out. It was weird as I was just thinking about my salesman when replying to you,and I texted him he said he was going through his list of callbacks and follow ups and my name popped up and he says oh I’ll give him a call (me) before the weekend and here I am texting him and then I just called him. He tells me on the Porsche Special Wishes program, they’re NOT getting a good response back and the, etc. So now they are trying to escalate it. It’s like he just told me not 10 minutes ago. You’ve purchased several cars through us all, your cars come in here for service you picked up a Speedster a couple years ago and you are awaiting build on a spec’d 911 Dakar, in addition to the allocation on this GTS Sport Turrismo, and now you’re bringing bringing in a relative on another NEW purchase. He said, you ARE the textbook perfect Special Wishes client!

Thanks for sharing your options! 👍 Yeah, if you're going through the configurator on Porsches site you're gonna be crazy! It's no problem to top it up to 100.000 Euro 💶 only on options! So if you decide a Taycan, you have to put a big stone on your money 😉. The best value will be the 4S! Super performance and about 40.000 Euro cheaper than the Turbo S! Okay, if you want to beat the Tesla Plaid just forget it. Even the Turbo S is too slow. 😜 But the must have is rear steering, torque vectoring and chassis stabilizing for the best drive. 360 camera and Innodrive. The rest is of personal points. I took the passenger display because my wife likes to reset the route, planing chargers, skip music and other things and it's really fine! If you only ride it by yourself, you don't have to get it without you want to display the gravity options extra. So our car will be in the slot of September this year, think we get a 2024 model. Thanks for your video! Stay safe! 🤞👍💪🙋🏼♂️

Sorry, but the sedan is the sleekest and sportiest-looking Taycan. The others look ugly.
