don't trade the 997tt, you need it for summer.
I agree with just trading the audi for a CS or GTS, they have more than adequate power for the winter. My CTT is too powerful for winter use.

You must be running the wrong tires. I have a 2008 CTT with 20" Pirelli Snow & Ice for winter and there is no stopping this truck. I took it skiing a couple of weeks ago in a foot of snow and it performed impeccably. On dry pavement, the ride is every bit as good as my summer 21s. It truly is the ultimate 4 season vehicle. With the Panorama roof and my yellow lab who comes to work with me every day, it has me wondering why I need my Turbo Cab, which has been parked for the winter since November...........

I'm also running Pirelli Snow & Ice but in 18".
What I meant is the CTT has too much power that cannot be used in snow and ice driving if one is shopping for a winter SUV. I have to put it in low range in heavy snow so too much power is not necessary.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining of the power, just don't need 500hp in the snow. In summer, yes, it can be as fast as a 997 in a straight line.

lool consider yourself blessed
Ok - so I started getting crazy thoughts about trading my '06 Audi Avant and 07 Turbo in for a '09 Cayenne Turbo S. I only drive 3 days a week (less than 9k/year) and with winter in Boston lately - snow, salt, pot holes .. anyway, the stars have not been aligned. Decided to run it today .. here is a snap shot of the temp this morning when I got to work. It felt great driving it today. Dropped off at the stealer to get the oil changed and the tech bullentin completed.
... My CS unfortunately has to put up with -25 degree readings like that every other winter morning on my way from the southwest suburbs to Northwestern.
