    We test drove a 06' TTS yesterday and it was a blast. I can't believe how much power that thing has. I think we are going to pull the trigger on it.

    Any thoughts on the TTS from owners?

    Seems like a fun car to blast around in. And the gas mileage will be about the same as the Maserati.

    anyone test drive the new ML63? I havent test driven the Cayenne but I have test driven the 63 and own a 55(I know obsolete, but still for comparison). Compared to previous generation the new 63 with airmatic is such a comfortable car and its quite the road rocket. And with the HK system, I believe its the same as the Cayenne.

    thats a nice interior combo, same as mine. the S has a nice exhaust note too.

    The TTS is nice, I had one, GOBS of torque.

    I bought my 04 Turbo when it first came out and I must say I am a satisfied owner. Car is solid and drives nice. It is a good everyday car/suv. the negative points IMHO:
    poor break pad wear and bad gas consumption, NEED winter tires

    I had mine for 3 years now with ~42K miles and loved it. Now I am trading it for Audi S6 since I just want to try something different than SUV

    I can't understand why porsche is not making regular turbo's anymore and instead they now only offer turboS with big $ increase! My 450BHP was more than enough!

    Thought you guys might be interested in the launch pictures of the new version. Just got an email from Porsche.

    IMHO, its still pretty ugly. I'm personally amazed that they didn't "fix" the main failing of the car. I loved the Turbo to drive, but it doesn't float my boat looks wise. I think they've un-improved it. Maybe it'll look better in the flesh?

    What do those that like the existing Cayenne think?

    Hey Dan,

    I don't like the facelift...looks like the Audi. I prefer my '06 and will wait for the major revision coming in 2010 I think.

    I had an 04 V8 VW Touareg...I know not EXACTLY the same but close.
    I lemoned mine...
    Nice truck/idea but a complete POS.

    huh, i absolutley LOVE mine. my only gripe is that it acts funny when the car is cold. normally the car starts out in 2nd and stays in second gear when you come to a stop. when its cold out and i start driving down the drve way, it will shift to first (rather abruptly) as i slow down to go down the hill.once the car is warmed up, it does not do this.

    Mine does the same thing...reminds me of how my old Audi used to start out. Someone once told me that the Audi did this when its cold to warm up the tranny...don't know if its true or not.

    This morning I thought it was the hidden "descent" mode feature like my Range Rover had.
