Of course I love the 997tt but I'm not at all anxious to trade in my Turbo S cab... No interest... Anyone else feel the same way???

Why should you be envious though? I am sure 993 owners aren't envious either. You got the 996TT because you liked it, not because it was the newest Turbo Porsche available... At least that's my criteria when buying a car...

Very true, although most people buy to have the newest, on this site id oubt that's the case for ANYONE!

Anyway i like the interior and most of all, the new technology that went into it. Im still loving my car though, more basic and straight to the point in my eyes, oh well!

True, I"m usually guilty of wanting the "latest and greatest". I also get bored after a year or so... I was one of the first people to own an E55 and my 39 month lease is finallly coming to an end... I love the car but I have been counting the days until it's gone...
Yes I choose the Turbo S because I love the car however I am much more interested and tempted to upgrade my 03 Escalade to the 07 Caddy because I love it and I think GM did a great job with the new Truck. Did I just say "GM and Great job" in the same sentence??? LOL

Maybe you should seek help...

Honestly guys, I can't understand how you drive those 3,000kg trucks! They feel like buses to me.

I saw a 997 turbo for the first time yesterday and went directly home and embraced the awesome presence of my GT2 in the garage
I usually want the latest thing out there but not this time
