How much does it cost/ how easy is it to convert the front bumper to a turbo bumper btw?

I think you should get the S. If you want a new Cayenne, I think the new V6 is adequate for your needs. In pre-2008 Cayennes, I think you'll really prefer the V8.

By going to the S, you also get bigger brakes (the same 6-piston Brembo brakes as the turbo, with the calipers painted sliver instead of red) and generally will find them to have more options.

Thanks, yeah actually you're right. A lot of the base cayennes I looked at didnt have a nav system, while the CS's do. I didnt know about the bigger brakes, another plus.

Hey one more thing, let me know what you think. I want to get a black cayenne, but if it's going to sit outside in the sun all year round, do you think the paint will get damaged over time easier than say, a lighter color like silver?

Im guessing that if I just maintain the car and wax it every few months it should be UV protected but what do I know. If so, BLACK IT IS

I think the paint on the Cayennes is very high quality, and you shouldn't have any problem if you keep it properly cleaned and waxed.

They do look good in black...

I have a black '06 titanium edition, I would not worry about the paint getting damaged by the sun but like all black cars, it does get warmer inside and as you know, it's next to impossible to keep it clean all the time... I would get a silver or gray if I know the car will not be garaged as they don't look as bad when dusty.

Also, on the factory nav, it leaves a lot to be desired. The double DIN looks much better but it is not user friendly, pretty outdated compared to most other factory nav, and just plain pre-historic to an aftermarket portable that cost less than $200.
