I don't mind the matte black plastic cladding... on the other hand the gloss black cladding looks bad on the green... Also, Black wheels looks bad with the black cladding... everything gets lost. Curious what other wheels are offered... Needs platinum or silver wheels.

Those brakes look bigger than the wheels on my Cayman.

I still hope that they have an option to ditch the "allroad" look and lifted suspension. I doubt too many plan on going offroad in that thing. I also doubt there are many recharging stations in the middle of the desert...

I disagree! I'm loving the proportions of this way more than the Panamera Sport Turismo... which is way too long IMHo.

Default Configure and Ordering Guide Availability

I wonder how soon after the introduction of the Cross Turismo tomorrow will we be able to configure online and have access to full ordering information including pricing....
As I recall, soon after the base Taycan was officially announced a few months ago, within a couple of days you were able to configure and spec out and price this vehicle

Overall I think the car is very attractive, but count me as one who doesn't care much for the plastic cladding, especially the light color on the otherwise pretty grey car.

I agree that this is an attempt to give the car a more rugged Audi allroad look but I could do without it. Maybe there will at least be color choices for the accent pieces.

Knowing Porsche I'd be shocked if there wasn't a hideously expensive option to paint it body color. I mean, you can get "body colored wheel arch extensions" on a Cayenne which deletes the black plastic around the wheels.

For sure, and "hideously expensive" is the operative phrase....

Everything with Porsches is hideously expensive. At some turns, it's downright embarrassing.

yet we still buy....

LOVE THE WHITE/ICE GREY version! Thanks for sharing! Definitely getting one to replace my Macan!!! I was originally going to replace my Macan with the EV Macan when it debuts, but I think my plans are changing!

It's uglier than the sedan. You get a tiny bit more room in the back. It's so doofy looking all raised up and cladded, ugh.
