Auto Climate Control is the biggest ripoff among Porsche's many overpriced options...I can't believe they actual charge $550 for this and get away with it...I think it is insulting in a car of this price, even worse than floormats.

Virtually every dealer ordered car has it because it is a tie in with the so called "preferred package".

On the '07 987S I just ordered, I bagged it and ordered a sport steering wheel and crests in the headrests for about the same money. Who needs it in an open top car.

P.S. If you don't order it, the button which usually says "auto" will say "max."
