Now get some wheels on that Cayenne and lower it. Then it will really match your 911.

I was thinking of a Cayenne Turbo as well. I think the 955s and 957s can be had pretty cheap these days, right? Anyone know how the long term reliability is on them?

Subbed for Cayenne reliability as well.... There was a pretty cheap 6-speed GTS on cars.com that peaked my interest.

They are both Turbos

These are the summer wheels



aaaaaand yesterday
Turkish: 1 Snow: 0







The Cayenne is a beast!
Best SUV EVER, period.

Stop procrastinating and get one.
Maintenance is decent. Reliability is there. Price is more than reasonable.
Get the Turbo or a manual GTS
Mine is tuned by EPL and I have bypass pipes on the way (that's the best bang for buck mods).

Maybe next year Ill get some 22" wheels and lower it (but I would hate for that to defeat the purpose of a smooth and comfy DD)
If I want sporty I can drive my 911.

Also, get ready for 15mpgs

It matches well with your 996tt, and quite a bit of snow you got there.

What wheels are on the 996tt? Lowenharts?
