Default Something nice in the mail

I'm sure many of you received this already, but it was a nice touch by Porsche.

Yes, Porsche is doing that for all their new cars now. I got one for both our Cayenne GTS and the GT3.

Got one for my Cayenne GTS and my GT3. The pen that came with the GT3 had a CF pen body...

Ah, you got the perfect pair, I'm think of a Cayenne GTS. Not sure how I'm going to like V6 turbo but, probably better fuel consumption. May as well get turbo or turbo s since they're going all turbo is what I'm thinking.

Our GTS is a 2013, so it has the V8. The sound on that car is awesome. It handles surprisingly well for a big SUV. We use it primarily for longer road trips. It is very comfortable and agile for its weight. I'm sure the new one is just as nice, but I'll bet the sound is not quite as burly as the V8. You can probably find a '13 or '14 considerably less than a '15. We bought ours new off the showroom floor in July of 2013, so they gave us a pretty big discount...10%. Given the time of year, there may be some left over '14s that would get a larger discount than that. Its a great car Dan.

Get a 14 GTS, we have a 14 GTS and it is everything that you could ask for. Much sportier than a turbo in my opinion. Even andreas preuninger claimed that the GTS is the sportier of the Cayennes.

Yes, the sound of the V8 is awesome. No need to get the new turbo charged one.

+1 I had the 14 GTS. Was incredible. Looks wise, many times better than the overpriced Turbo's. Much better with the V8. I'd say the best sport SUV made.

Get a great preowned one and save $$$

We bought a pre-owned 2013 GTS last summer, and my wife loves it.

We have a 2012 Cayenne S as the kid hauler. The naturally aspirated V8 is awesome and handles great for an SUV.

The pen is nice, but it's thr same packet I received for my 991S. It would've been nice to get a book that was unique to the GT3 especially on the cover.

You should have received that as well. I received a different package much earlier on with a similar book that is only about the GT3.
