[@OviWanKeno9i]

I LOVED THE STAR WARS lesson. Rest in pieces Anakin... Jakub really doesn't remember anything. :D Hmmm, I'm still getting a 2015-2018 Audi S8 instead and tuning it to 8-900 hp. 2.9s to 100 km/h and 10.3-10.7 quarter mile. I've seen under 10s with upgraded turbos, which are "only" a few grand. I know Conti is a sponsor for you, but I prefer Michelin Pilot Super Sports or 4S for summer and Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 for the winter. I've literally run rally cross competitions in a full bolt on protuned '13 WRX STI with the Nokians. I also use the same tires for my 450 hp APR tuned Audi A6. The only problem is that 4 sets of tires are like CAD $10,000 after taxes! It's insane. I eventually sold the WRX, because buying things like tires for 2 cars, and I miss that crazy thing. I'm sure you've tried the Pilot tires, but try the Nokians if you can; they are mind blowing with the right AWD system. My A6 climbed crazy slopes with them, and it's on Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, so it's lower. It was just plowing the snow.. Answers: Yes, keeping piano black clean is a mark of cleanliness, but it does scratch over time, and you can't really fix it. Android is important. I would not buy a car if it's iOS compatible only. I get Samsung phones and put a Pixel Launcher on it. Perfect marriage. Using an iPhone is so frustrating UI-wise (work phone), but common apps are marginally better. I have everything connected into my phone, cars, house, servers, media sources, and Google just does that better. I can see everything from my home screen without opening anything. :)

[@mrnicktoyou]

The rear tail lights are too big. If they were slim like the headlights and didn’t hang so low it would look way better. Love everything else.

The Taycan's light bar is a lot more slim than this. Oh, the luxury of having enough money to be forced to pick between the two...

[@LlyleHunter]

Guru was absolutely correct about the piano black trim in the interior. It’s also true that most people that have piano black grand pianos in their houses as opposed to other types of wood finishes are likely to have cleaning people that come to their houses regularly and polish their pianos. When the emphasis in upper level cars was more toward luxury rather than performance white wall tires were popular. The significance in that began with chauffeurs and signified that the owner of the car could afford to have someone keep the sides of their tires white and free of dirt unlike the masses who didn’t have the time.

love this car and the Porsche.. Wish I had the $$$ to get one. However my one thing I disagree for my day to day.. I hate buttons now.. I hop in my Kia, in my ford, in my company Dodge / Nissan and I die inside at all the buttons and ones that never. NEVER. get used. I have a model 3 (35k miles now on it), 80+% on autopilot and I find nothing on the touchscreen hard to use or overcome, especially when its on autopilot. Wipers, even on autopilot, NP, hit the stock once, raining bad, the button is right next to my hand by the wheel on the screen, tap it, done. I find nothing hard to overcome on Tesla infotainment and leaves me not caring for buttons at all.. I would say the only thing, least my model and year is missing, is the AC/Heat control doesn't give me the ability to turn off passenger entirely (Newer 2021 models and above can), but the rest is fine and not hard to use. Back to this review, this and the Porsche are my two favorites though and damn there amazing. Just a plain driver / fun car..
