porschestrabe is infamous around these parts
I have had a C4 or C4S and they are GREAT in the snow. I am going for the TT now. I put snows on as well. I highly recommend 911 (4s) as the perfect car in all 4 seasons!!

Well I test drove the CL550, Conti GT and Conti GT Speed...

The CL is a very nice car, great electronics and awesome seats. It's a great car for a DD but a bit...just a bit...on the boring side...

The Conti GT seemed a little too oppulent for me...just too much wood, etc. The GT Speed...now that's another animal all together...with the dark aluminum trim it's sweet...but wow is it big money! The CGTs are much quicker than I expected and everything you touch is just so well made it amazing...but wow is it big money.

I knew I could count on you Phil...the car is simply amazing...you would have to put a nice thick coat of wax on her for me as I would be driving it in all weather conditions.

It had red stitching as well...really sweet. The leather in the car feels like the softest leather on the planet...the leather in our TTs is like hard plastic in comparison.

I know it sounds crazy...but the GT Speed almost made me think I could live without my TT...ok...that's crazy...but you get the point...

Hand raised vote on an Audi. Beautiful interiors, excellent motor.
High quality practical luxury motoring.

May I suggest an A5/S5 ?

There is NOTHING boring about my new 5L V10 Twin Turbo FSI 580 BHP RS6 Avant, it's so good that my 544 BHP 997 Turbo now sits in the garage even on weekends!

Shame you guys can't get the RS6 in the States as you really don't know what you are missing!

OK gents...it's official...I bought a Continental GT Speed! Pics to follow in a few day...

Hopefully I won't need to revive this thread again in a year and this one stays in the corral for a long time to come. Although, the electronics are about 5 years out of date so you never know!

Thanks for all your input!!
