help me get a new car!

Well the time has come to sell my cayenne turbo, and thus I need to be ordering a new car come the next few days. I have a few cars in mind, so I am making a poll for you all to help me. I figure this is the most trafficed forum, and I need help ASAP, so I posted here. If it absolutely needs to be moved, then so be it.

In the poll next to Cayenne turbo it says it would be the fourth one. If you like Cayennes that much, why not just keep the one you have? What is prompting you to sell a 2005 Cayenne to buy a newer one?

ditto...
besides, the list contains cars of different newness, price range and functionality (sedan/suv/etc..) so it is not really a good comparo

because at this point in my life, I dont have any need for a car with function. I sell all my cars before 9000 miles, therefore my 05 Cayenne Turbo is about ready to go. True, there is no comparison between these cars, but for me, it will be one of them, so help is greatly appreciated.

PS- I talked to the Porsche sales manager today and there is an incoming 2005 997 which is Speed Yellow/Black with full leather, painted console, S pipes, and most other creature comforts. It is stickered at $81,580.00. Do you think this would be too loud of a color? Also, do you think no sports chrono is bad?

Well, I voted for the 997, so that would be my choice. How do you ever get to know your cars if you sell them so quickly? My car is almost my best friend.

Note: not trying to get you riled about it, I'm honestly curious.

I get to know them because I really have just been around them my entire life. I have l;earned not to get attached to cars because of my situation, thus it is not hard for me to sell them quickly. It is also pretty fun to change into something new every few months.

From the list, I pick the CLS. This car is pretty appealing to me. I'm considering it as a replacement for my M5.

Don't get another Cayenne, you already tried four. Maybe when the face-lifted model comes out go and buy one of those.

AMG CLS55? Looks like you already have one in the family. No need to dupilcate cars.

You already sold an AMG E55 station wagen, thought it looked better than the four door.

AMG SL55? Why not if you're not going to keep it for long.

My pick out of these is the 997/997S with sport chrono. You seem to have a habit of flipping cars so don't get one in a color that few others would want.

While you're in that price range, think about getting a 996turbo. Alot of good deals to had so good luck.

I see 100 SL's everyday, so I wouldn't go that route. Not fond of 4 doors or trucks, so Cayenne TT and E are out. CLS is ok, but, I'd rather have an M5. I voted 997
