I guess there exist more than one really hard to move options combinations, even in an overheated market like the post-pandemic world. Up until now I thought it had to be a pink Taycan with brown seats and green stitching (the only Taycan I saw that didn't sell near instantly in the US during those times).
I quite fancy pink with brown seats and green stitching.
As long as it didn't have privacy glass...

I don't have the exact spec (IIRC it was a RWD or 4S sedan), but given privacy glass was not an option available in the US, I'm going to say; no, it did not have privacy glass.

Ah well I am very happy with my Mamba/Blackberry car.
If privacy glass isn't rammed down your throat with every upper spec car like it is here maybe I should emigrate to the USA.

What is wrong with privacy glass?
Tints that even all around the car don't look too bad but blacked out rear windows with clear fronts just looks daft.

The glasshouse is important in defining the overall lines of a car and removing/accentuating half of it but not the rest just ruins the shape of the car.

This is why chrome window garnish is there - it emphasises the glasshouse and accents the lines of the car.

Each to their own of course. ?‍♂

From the frying pan into the fire. Instead, Porsche rams the glass roof down your throat on every CT, even custom order. I did a custom order, no option for metal roof.

Don't mind a glass panoramic roof you can open. But a fixed glass roof without shades is utterly pointless and then you need to spend several thoysand to dim it again. Utter madness.

Opening pano with electric shades on my old E63 wagon never been beaten.

Love a proper proper opening sunroof.

I have a metal tilt/slide roof on my 1991 500E I used it all the time.
We had a glass roof on a family car and I kept the shade closed most of the time so glass was no gain.

This. Porsche need to make a proper pano roof.

If I do a long journey with my 9 year old Granddaughter she can be occupied counting coloured cars, they are pretty unusual here in the UK, probably around 1 in 10 last time she did it...
Car snooker's a good one....

It lightens up the interior IMO, especially for rear seat passengers. And with the front seats being very in your face back there, every little helps.

I wouldn't want one without it.

Agree, it just needs to be able to *open* and have built-in powered proper shades not a several thousand pound dimmer...
