Having seen a Neptune CT in the flesh at the weekend I was put straight off and would not be a choice of colour for me!! Feel like I preferred the saloon over the CT in ice grey which looks amazing outside in daylight, still can’t decide on ice or jet but I think ice grey will be my choice in the end!!

What did you decide about the ODP? Leaning Ice Gray w/ ODP myself.

End of the month! Your experience seeing it in person put the final nail in the coffin for Neptune Blue for me. Was already leaning IceGray, but needed a kick in the ass.

My wife says Neptune blue is a midlife crisis color... I guess I just have to decide if I’m going through a midlife crisis or not.
The first song I listened to in my Taycan was "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More. It came to me while putting together the final spec. Go with Neptune Blue...

I've heard it also raises the suspension by 10mm, but can it still be put back to the lowest 'non-offroad-design' setting by changing the drive mode?
The ORDP doesn't change absolute max or min ride height for the Cross Turismo, just the default ride height is set to the Cross Turismo 'medium' height which is 10mm higher than the 'normal' CT ride height, but you can still switch to every height mode the same as the non ORDP equipped cars.

Neptune blue looks much better on the screen than in real life.
It was 1st choice of my wife, then she decided for coffe-biege.
So, be careful...

Is this clearly stated anywhere by Porsche online or in any interviews with Porsche HQ officials?

I personally don’t know why you would get a CT without it. It’s part of the whole visual appeal of the CT. If you don’t like it, get a Taycan instead.

Derip88. Wrong. Exactly the opposite. Pictures do not do Mamba Green Justice. Stunning in real life. From light green in sunlight to dark green in shadows. That doesn’t come through in pictures. And hides dirt extremely well.

I'm in the same boat as you. Can't decide between saloon and CT. Would like to see one in real life before making my decision. Dealer (hatfield) is hoping to have one in the next 3-4 weeks.
Best chance was Reading as Porsche HQ is next door. Neptune blue press car was being kept there.
Unfortunately takes me around 2 hours to get there and dealer had no control over the car so could not guarantee the car being there.
Me too. I had same problem even when in front of adivsor. I really didn't like a cross turismo that was in the dealership. I decided to choose the sedan and that point. When we were going for color. I was led to the parking lot. That is where the whole view changed. Saw a silver CT that i actually liked. Took a few minutes to figure out what the F is the difference. Ended up joining the CT line without roof rail and clean (no offroad design) package. That was 15 months ago. Can't wait for it to get to the dealership now.

We considered the ORDP to be a less sensible choice in our climate. The protective bits just look like impossible to clean accumulators of snow and road salt. If you don't know what a fenderberg is, then it's probably less of an issue.

This was my thinking as well. I was 50/50 on the looks of the ORDP but the dirt collection and the increased difficulty in cleaning in and around it made that package a pass for me. If I actually thought that I would be driving off-road consistently, that might have made a difference the other way.
