GT3 Touring Package A while has passed since I wrote in my blog, “My husband ordered the GT3 Touring Package, and I want to share the details of the options and specs later.” 夫が ポルシェ 911 GT3 ツーリングパッケージ（羽なし）を注文してきた。 So this time, I’d like to introduce why my husband chose the GT3 Touring Package and decided on these particular options and specs. While I think options should basically be chosen according to personal preference, I hope...

Porsche Panamera Options – Not Related to Driving but Very Convenient

Rewriting Past Articles About a week ago, I finally got around to rewriting past articles (usually rewriting means someone else’s article is rephrased without changing the content, but in this case, I’m revising articles I wrote myself in the past). This blog has some popular articles with lots of traffic, but past articles are also frequently read every day. However, especially the articles from when I first started the blog were nowhere near presentable… Originally,...

What Makes a Customer “Disliked” or “Liked” by a Dealer Salesperson?

An Experience at an Imported Car Dealer This happened a little while ago. My husband received a call from an imported car dealer (not Porsche) inviting him to “come for a test drive”. When he went for the test drive, he was seated at a table, and when the salesperson stepped away to get some materials, a well-dressed man in his 40s sat near my husband’s table. My husband thought, “He looks very put-together. Maybe...

Panamera GTS Now Offers a “2+1” Rear Seat Option!?

Panamera GTS On October 16th last month, Porsche finally announced the new Panamera GTS. I thought, “It’s about time I try the configurator” (not that I’m buying, just daydreaming), so I checked the Porsche Japan site, but the Panamera GTS was still listed as “Price TBD” and the configurator wasn’t available yet. (As of November 16, 2018) What a bummer… *Image source: Porsche Japan Panamera GTS Models But since I was already in the mood...

“How Can I Buy a Porsche?” I Asked My Husband This Simple Question

I Want a Porsche! My husband drives his Porsche on the Royu Driveway a few times a month, and one day he was asked this question by some young people at the lookout point. I want a Porsche too, but how can I actually buy one? They said. This question is definitely interesting, and since I’m currently pursuing the goal of buying a Porsche myself (lol), I asked my husband, “How can someone actually buy...

Manual or Automatic? Which Porsche 911 Offers Better Resale Value? A Data-Driven Analysis

Manual or Automatic: Which Porsche 911 Offers Better Value? “If you’re buying a 911 with resale value in mind, is a manual or an automatic the better choice?” My husband recently decided to look into that very question. But “manually searching for every listing one at a time would be tedious and time-consuming,” so he wrote a program to pull used Porsche 911 listings from CarSensor and turn them into data automatically. (My husband works...

Which Porsche Options Are Essential—and Which Can You Skip? A Boxster GTS Owner’s Take

The Porsche Options Overload When I was looking at the 911 configurator on Porsche’s official website, it really struck me just how many options you can choose from when buying a Porsche. Of course, it would be great to add everything that catches your eye—but the options alone can easily add more than ¥4 million to the price, so that’s not exactly practical. And it would be a shame to pay for an option only...

Are Luxury Car Dealerships Intimidating? Online, you often come across claims like “Luxury car dealerships are intimidating” and “They check your watch, so you shouldn’t wear a cheap one.” I even saw a post saying, “If you turn up at a Maserati dealer in a T-shirt and jeans, apparently they’ll give you a really dirty look.” >Come on, that can’t be true… can it? (laughs) It feels like these rumors have taken on a life...

I Went to Porsche’s 70th Anniversary Fair! A Look Inside the Showroom and at the Free Gifts

Porsche’s 70th Anniversary Fair Yesterday, I stopped by the Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair at my local Porsche Center. I also needed an oil change before heading to Fuji Speedway on June 16 and 17, so it was the perfect opportunity. (I’ll share the cost and details of the oil change in a later post.) And, to be honest, I was also hoping to get the promotional placemat（笑） ＊Source: Porsche 70th Anniversary page My husband said...
