Long story short:

I traded in my 09 CTTS for an 11 997.2TT.

When my CTTS was leaving I started feeling regret. After a few weeks, I called to repurchase my Pepper. It was already gone. It was very well optioned and in very good condition so not totally surprised.

I looked at the 958 CTT and although they are a significant improvement over the 957, I could not get past the looks. It's not for me. The 957 is the best looking Cayenne IMO and offers 95% of the performance although I wish it had the 958 interior and PCM.

Fast forward 2 weeks and I own another 09 CTTS. It's not as highly optioned as my previous but it has some different ones that make it seem like a new experience. I'm loving every 13 miles I get per gallon of it.

BTW, I don't regret the 997.2 TT w/PDK. I smile every time I drive it. Epic car, especially with the Champion/GIAC tune (thanks Shiraaz).
I just shouldn't have let go of the Pepper for it.

There isn't anything out there like it, especially at used market prices.

 

Agreed, the 957 is the best looking. The new one doesn't have the aggressive front end like the 957. Some recent shots of the facelifted 2015 cayenne show a combination of the 2 front ends. It looks better, but the 957 headlights are the coolest.

 

I agree with this statement 100% as well.

 

I am another one in love with 957's. You did the right thing getting another clean one while you still can.

 

Ditto on the 957... especially turbo-s.
