I didn't take my 08 C4S in deep snow but I daily'd it all year. It was a 4S so I expected it to do well. However, my wife's Macan S has snow tires and is an absolute beast in the snow. Outperforms any other SUV we have had in snow with those tires, as well as the 01 Audi A4 Avant or the Outback XT we had. The low center of gravity and wheelbase on the Macan make it a monster.

Just did the comparison on my C2S build. If I spec it exactly the same, my sticker would go from $152k to $162k. However, I received $9k off MSRP & a GTS in this market will most certainly have ADM. Especially here in California.
So I’d be looking at $170k+ for a GTS when my OTD price before tax was $143k on my S. I wouldn’t want centerlocks or the clear taillights. I’d try to get rid of all the alcantara in the GTS except the roof liner. The GTS still uses the same PCCB’s as the S. So I wouldn’t gain much & I would be near a $30k delta.
In general I’m glad I’m not in the market.

With GT3 allocations now being basically next to impossible, a mini-GT3 touring in GTS form is looking mighty fine.
Questions for the experts here. Is the manual 7-speed transmission the same transmission that's been offered in the 992 Gen for a little while now with just shorter throws? This is the ZF source transmission that is adapted from the PDK gearbox?

Its pretty crazy what you can and cannot get on the different models, unless I'm missing something. You can only get the extended range tank on the 2 GTS, its not available on the 4, also, it seems that the Targa doesn't have the upgraded PASM, at least it doesn't list it in the Standard Options and it doesn't have the option to "downgrade" to the standard PASM from the S, like the 2 and 4 GTS has. The 2 is the sportiest one! The only question is, is both the Motorsport stripe AND the Porsche Side decal, too much?!
