    The car sure looks good… But I don’t think I could drive anything that didn’t have an exhaust note. It just sounds counterintuitive to me to the entire experience

    Yeah, I thought the exact same thing...until I drove one.

    If you have other naturally aspirated cars to drive, the Taycan makes a lot of sense as a daily. Instant, stupid amounts of torque, no need to gas-up if you can charge at home, and complete serenity for your commute. The optional electric sound can also be entertaining is that's your thing.

    I need effortless speed on my way to work as I'm always in a hurry and also require some quiet before I get to the craziness at my office.

    YMMV.

    Enjoy! My 430s in the garage, so my daily has to stay on the driveway. I’ve begged the wife, but she won’t park her car in the driveway, and With four kids, all their bikes and crap take up the third car garage. I’m stuck needing gas

    Your line up always be my dream. With the cgt, murci sv and the sneak peak of that F40. I think I will be done if I ever get a white tdf.

    Do you have enough clearance for a lift in your garage?

    I had the same issue in our garage and now the Taycan will "live" underneath the GT3.

    Had a 9,000 pound capacity, 4 post lift delivered, assembled, and installed for under $3K. Now everyone is happy. :)

    Much obliged.... yes I was really really really shopping for a white TDF but I missed my Lambo too much, hence the white MSV.
    In the future, a white TDF will round it all out for me.
    A unicorn white CGT would be epic.

    Good compromise for now
    . I had to eventually add a detached garage to make room. If I didn’t have that option I was going to park the weekend car at a nearby storage.

    Wife has a Land Rover Discovery… We needed it for the third row. I actually love driving it and usually do on the weekends. Not a ton of pep, but super comfortable and great technology

    Just got a 488... BMW M6 was meant to be my daily, but I think I’ll end up driving the 488 more.

    My parents had the Discovery, great hauler.
    We have had 2 LR4’s in the past....really miss our first V8 version. Used to tow my Lotus with it. Great car.

    yes..we also had two of the LR4 versions much preferred that body style as well as that super V8 but, the new interior is much better so, a trade off of sorts

    For me the taycan is a soulless vacuum cleaner with no emotions; still love my 991.1 TTS cab

    Appeals to a different taste. Nothing like a 911.
