Very true. That's what my friend suggested too. Maybe I just wanna reason to buy a new toy. HaHaHa.

But in all seriousness, how do you guys view the Turbo vs. the GTS. Is one better than the other or simply different?

I do think that in all practicality and all reasonability, I should keep the Turbo, which is an awesome machine.

I was same way when the Panamera GTS came out. I considered trading my Cayenne Turbo (2012) for the Panny GTS. In the end, the Cayenne was the better option for me. Especially without 30k loss I would have taken.

You guys are right. Should definitely wait for the TTS. Damn those colors are sharp though!

I have to admit...I was concerned that when the GTS came out I was going to be swayed to trade my CTT for it, but now after seeing it, its so similar to the CTT but with less power. That said, if it were a completely new bodykit, completely new wheels and a PDK tranny....Then there would be cause for a change. Otherwise I would wait and keep the CTT.

Here in Canada when you are done configuring the GTS its so close in price to the Turbo - I think I might be doing something wrong. ??

The Turbo S sounds nice, however, it would have to have significant upgrades from the Turbo to get my money. Power kit alone won't cut it. My Turbo is loaded, plus EVOMsit tune, and would like match the Turbo S without price up charge.

Now, if they did put PDK in Turbo S... We might have something to talk about.

dont do it.
Everything the GTS has, you can mod your turbo too if you really want. but dont give up the ponies and the turbos.

in my 2008 GTS it was so underpowered for me at a mile high altitude. Main reason for trading up.

Thank you all. I'm convinced to keep the CTT. I do like the blackened out headlights, so I'll get those for my TT.

What more could a turbo s have than mine? Besides the power kit?
I've though of that as well but then ask myself that very question.
For $25k, wouldn't I just get an ECU tune for a few thousand than get a power kit...?

Give me your thoughts....

No brainier if the PDK was an option for the turbo S.....
