Ordered a '09 Black/Black (full leather) Cayenne GTS today.

Should be here by Thanksgiving. I have been a pcar fan since I was a kid, but I have to say that, after looking at and driving the BMW X6, it was a tougher decision that I initially thought.

Got a great deal.. about 10% off MSRP. There are certainly deals to have out there.

I am looking fwd to Nov.

I cant imagine the decision between an X6 and a Cayenne GTS bieng a hard decision. I have and love my X5 but there is no way that I would EVER consider an X6. This is a no brainer. Congratulations! What color and specs did you get?

Wow that's quite the option list you have. I built your car on the porsche website, those options sure do add up quickly!

Enjoy!

Not quite a GTS but still a great pair. Congrats on the GTS. Night and day difference in handling compared to the previous Cayenne models.

Bless you for buying that car.

Call me in 10 years when you go to sell it. Take good care of it in the meantime!
