'08 Turbo or "09 GTS?

I'm looking to buy one or the other. There's a brand new '08 Turbo with a steep discount, MSRP $109K discounted to $89K or a '09 GTS for about $85K. Both have the options that I like. Which do you think is a better buy? Any major difference in '09's besides bluetooth? I have not driven a Turbo yet.

Without question, get the Turbo. I see you are in NorCal - is it the one at Niello?

The only reason in the world to get the GTS is if you have to have a stick, get the Turbo....and quit asking questions you already know the answer to!

If it is the black one, I test drove it way back in April 2008 so they ought to be motivated to sell it. They don't let people beat on the cars during test drives so don;t worry about that. I worked with Nancy Coburn and my delivery salesman was Pat Burns for my TT and Cayenne Turbo S - both are fair and honest.

rev the GTS with the sport exhaust on and then ask the question again!

if you like to rev the crap out of 2nd and 3rd gear get the GTS, unless of course if you have a detector and are sure that exploding over the speed limit will not lead to impounds.

the mid range of the GTS is a lot of fun and does not hit stupid nose blood speeds. the GTS will be more engaging than the Turbo imo.

Try to find an '08 GTS. I picked up a leftover GTS and added the Tooki Bluetooth, couldn't be happier. It's a great time to buy regardless which Cayenne you end up with.

I'm going through this same question but both are 09 in my case but the turbo has 19" wheels vs. the 21" sportplus on the gts. On another board, people have been unanimously telling me to do the GTS. It seems the other way around here!
