Hi guys, I am going to be ordering an e55 for Febuary production March delivery that will replace my Cayenne TT. I am very torn on Color but leaning towards Capri Blue. My Cl55 was black and my sl55 was mars red. I choices are Capri Blue,Flint Gray or if I can get it fire opal red. What are your guys thoughts.

 

Wow I guess know one likes red.

 

Which I find totally amazing because if you got to 'Mattars' post where he shows thw photos of his Designo edition E 55 (finally!!!) which was the fire opal red color, you will see that everyone was giving it rave reviews. Heres the link for that: https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/91771-pics-finally.html Anyway, who cares what anybody else thinks? Would you asked everybody you know if they thought whether your girlfriend/wife was beautiful before you started dating her? Exactly! Get what appeals to you not what appeals to the masses. It would be a boring world for it all to be the same

 

I say black on black.

But really, black is a wicked color.

Fine... capri blue.

 

My first choice would be brilliant silver , but seeing as that is not a choice I would go for the flint grey.

 

Well guys it looks like its either Flint or capri. Does anyone have anymore pics of either of these colors that you could post. Thanks

 

Get what you like, I like the capri blue...

Black. Red comes in a close second.

 

Alright guys thanks for your help, I am going to go with the Flint Gray. I will be placing my order tomorrow.

 

Duane, nice to see you here too, i sold my cayenne a few months ago and replaced it with a e55. hope to see you at the sixspeed lunch on the 26th

Great to see you as well Steve. I am going to be selling my Cayenne TT as well. I plan on doing a full kleeman kit on my e55.

 

could you former and soon to be former owners of cayennes' give me some feed-back on them, such as likes and dislikes, problem areas (rattles?), etc.? thanks.

 

I have owned my Cayenne TT for about 8 months. Unlike some of the other owners I have had a very positive experience. I drove several SUV's when purchasing and this is the only one that truly felt like a car. It is very comfortable handles very well for a 6000lb suv. The power is the best part. It is faster than 80% of the cars on the road. You can weave in and out of traffic and feel confident just like a car. You can do an upsolute chip for $500.00 and be over 500HP light up the tires and leave C5's in the dust.

As far as complaints I think most of the bugs in the 2003's were worked out. Mine is a 2004 and I have had a nagging problem with the keyless entry system not working, the car will hestiate when I punch sometimes and it drives you nuts. I think there is a software fix for this. My biggest complaint is the gas. If you drive it like it was meant to be driven you will get 8 to 10 miles per gallon hence why I am getting an e55. My office was recently relocated and I now have a 1 hour commute twice a day. I am not sure how much better the e55 will be but my sl55 was way better than the cayenne. I will probably get another cayenne in the near future as I trade my daily driver in every 8 to 12 months.
