It's really impressive how Porsche developed the Cross Turismo.
Everyone was expecting the Taycan with a new body but they adjusted so much more.

It is flabbergasting to see the Germans are leaving such a crucial piece to sloppy 3rd parties.

I rarely ever want a car as much as I want this one.
Amazing fun on both gravel and tarmac yet it's painfull watching these beautiful wheels and exotic paint being showered by hundreds of little sharp rocks.
I guess full coverage of body and wheels with Xpel Ultimate is your only option if you intend on extracting the most fun out of this gem of a car.

I'm so torn between Crayon and Neptune Blue. I've had my eye on a Crayon Porsche for some time, but the Neptune blue looks spectacular. That said I heard it's a fingerprint magnet, so Caryon is probably the safer choice. Especially with young kids and school bags etc.

Where I live we have a statutory limitation of 8.8 kWh at home. So even though I have a 3 phase supply to my house capable of supporting the maximum 22kWh AC charge, I will have to make do.
Theoretically though I should get a 0% to full charge overnight in just over 10 hours, so I would rarely have to visit one of our non existant fast charging stations.
Just waiting on the announcement of the MY22 cars so I can get my build slot.

Agree on all accounts. That deep red metallic on the Cross Turismo in the CarWow video is phenomenal. Does anyone know what colour it is?

These wheels are a must IMO.
I originally specified the one's above, in a bid to save some $, maintain range and not impact on road noise and ride, however now that more images are becoming available I think the CT Design alloys are incomparable.
I was supposed to get delivery in November, but the chip shortage has delayed this to late January.

Better than the sedan?

To me, the Taycan Cross Turismo (hopefully, there is also a "Sport" Turismo model somewhere in the not-too-far timeline) conveys a highly desirable "Swiss Army Knife"
quality. In Germany, we commonly call this an "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" (or loosely translated: an object that does so many things so well). Sportscar, shooting brake, mild off-road abilities and moderately utilitarian, relatively sustainable and environmentally conscientious, a commanding eye appeal among other things. A "dream garage" rolled into a single automobile. A difficult choice between this and the Taycan sedans. The CT has a far greater variety of wheel options though. Maybe they will eventually migrate to the standard Taycan (that would be nice). Currently, there is no car that I'd desire more. Now-if it weren't for that unpleasant "money factor" that leaves the car nothing more than an unattainable dream.

in other words, the new electric Impreza WRX Wagon, but made by Porsche.

Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, is a German automobile manufacturer
specializing in high-performance sports cars, SUVs, and sedans,
headquartered in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Owned by
Volkswagen AG, it was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche.
In its early days, Porsche was contracted by the German government
to create a vehicle for the masses, which later became the Volkswagen
Beetle. In the late 1940s, Ferdinand's son Ferry Porsche began
building his car, which would result in the Porsche 356.
