Its a good suv, but totally not worth it considering a Ctt is faster and slighlt difference in price.

I agree with Mohammed. Prob not that much difference in Price. Also, If I had a turbo I'd de a bit pised that they decided to go with a turbo front bumper on the GTS. I was something that unmistakably set the Turbo apart from the V6 or the S.
I do however, think the rear seats on the GTS look f*cking incredible...they should put those on the Turbo (maybe as an option "in leiu of " the standard seats not as a $$$ option)

so, after all my rambling bla bla bla....

I'd go for a TURBO

I am also thinking about getting a GTS. Unless your friend is like me who is looking forward to get a manual transmission and not going to load up the cayenne, it is good compared to getting the S. If however your friend is going to get an auto and is probably going to load it up, I agree with the other people, might as well get a turbo. Since the GTS is standard with air suspension and pasm, I will get the pdcc, litronic lights, parking warning and bose stereo. After those options, it's still about $20000 less than a turbo and it will look exactly like a turbo plus with better seats. With the manual trans, 0-60 is 5.7s vs 4.9 on the turbo. To sum it up, depends if you want a manual trans and what options you are going to put in it. Otherwise, it is one of the faster suvs out there letting you to row your own gear unless BMW comes out with a manual on the x5 again or maybe the x6. Just my take.

Personally, I dont feel there is a "segment" in the market for an "RS" version of a Cayenne, which the GTS is obviously is.

Either you get the V6,S or for the fastest one go for the Turbo.

mylai996 -exactly my thoughts - i am waiting to see if my dealers allocation of 4 tip GTS's can get a manual swapped out. i am afraid that if i get the GTS i will chuck my C4S.

if not, a V6 manual with the PASM and PDCC as it seems that the PDCC is positive even at slow speed hard cornering. in other words, you can keep the setting on comfort yet still get the zero body roll.
