Would this be an 08/09 model for either cars? Or a used one?

I Was about to get the G55 which is an awesome looking car with all the bells and whistles but when I drove it, it felt more like a 'truck' rather than an SUV. The power was nice, but not enough for me.

The GTS has a more classy interior (what you would expect from Porsche) and the power is ample plus the handling is there. In the end the Cayenne will be more reliable.

Bottom line. Get the GTS. If you want more of a 'truck' like SUV then the G55 is your car.

Cheers,
MJ

G55? Are u kiddin me? You want to spend 100K for that POS??

Why not get a H3? Same deuche factor for a lot less dough!

I'm offended that you would even put that in the same sentence as a Cayenne GTS...

G55 is always the best...
GTS and G55 are different concepts. G55 is a great looking car, whereas GTS is more like a sports SUV with smooth lines and luxury interior. Price/performance value for GTS is greater than G55 that's for sure..

Stay away from the G500...looks nice, but trust me it will terrify you on a curvy road. I had an 05 G500 with a bunch of Brabus mods. The truck sounded good and looked good, but was by far the worst handling vehicle I have ever owned. Like I say I have owned both, and would recommend the GTS hands down.
