Asked the Porsche Pro what the difference is between the two - he said that Club is a softer leather like Merino.

That’s me sold!

It is only offered in Truffle Brown in the US and while it is softer and more premium it is not as durable.

Yeah only Truffle in UK/Europe as well. I’ll see if it’s on a demo car somewhere, but I had Merino in my X5 so I’m ok with not as durable.

I just wish it was a different colour though.

I've had Club leather (Atacama Biege in my 2nd Taycan) and normal leather. It's not really softer. It wears a bit nicer, generally has a higher quality look, but it's really not significantly different comfort or feel wise.

Olea opens up some nicer color options on other Porsches, but only brown on the Macan.

It's a nice leather but I'd choose the color you like. If that's Truffle Brown, great!

A SA will salivate if you are considering it as it's a "premium" option and dealerships are heavily incentived to push premium options.

To be honest, I’d prefer the chalk beige or black from a colour perspective.

Hopefully by the time I am ordering, there will be a greater choice anyway.
