Picked up my CS Design edition 1 yesterday
I picked up my new car from our dealer here in Oslo/Norway. Here are som pictures, needless to say I'm very happy. I allways had this dream to drive a car out of the delares shop myself, and yesterday I got to do that.
Quite happy:
Here I receive the much discussed case with gadgets- The watch was really nice.
I specially love the rear end of the Cayman:
Just before getting in to the car and driving out of the shop:
Picture from the interior. Pasm is default on this one. Compared to what is default on the Edition 1 I have sport chrono plus, black full leather, instrument surround black, and black surrounding the instruments and black air vents slats. I also have homelink and electrically adjustable seats with memory, Bose surround sound system, telephone module for PCM.
Also there is cruise control, parkassist, sports exhaust system and sport shifter. I think the alcatara looks really good in this car. The summer tires are on the 19" turbo wheels, but here in Norway we need winter tires now, and the wintertires are on 18" Cayman S wheels.
Outside:
Some last advise before I leaver:
I'm very pleased so far. Terribly happy and grateful. I would never think that I would get such a wonderful and beautyful car.

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
|
 |
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Congrats! Is the Cayman replacing your motorcyle passion now? 
Very nice to see a design edition in the flesh and as I suspected everyone in Norway is blond.
Did it come with an extra set of snow tires?
If you get a chance snap a few pictures of the items in the case and show us those too please!
Again, Congrats and Enjoy!

The center console and vents are painted black? I didn't know that - it looks really good like that.

I think she specified that as an extra option, not part of the standard "design edition" It looks great like that!
Beautiful car overall, enjoy it!

Congratulations!! Beautiful car!!
I looked at your profile. It says that you are interested in motorcycles. Do you own your own bike? If so you are the second woman (that I know of) who owns a Cayman and rides a motorcycle. Very Cool!
Congratulations again.

Wow
Absolutely beautiful, Anne. I am looking to get my first Cayman S soon. I have had a '95 and 2000 911 and two Boxster S in the last 10 years. I am looking at a 2006 w/10k miles on it here in the suburbs of Chicago. Will I be disappointed?

Congrats mate - the car looks lovely - I picked up mine today after a 7 month wait and to say I'm grinning like a Cheshire Cat would be an understatment.
It's a wonderful bit of kit

Is it just my imagination, or does it look like the Cayman's smiling in the bottom photo?
