Soon I had to divulge the fact that the S and the Turbo were both twin turbos so she figured it out. So the S was the passing grade where the turbo would have been met with a frown.

I know, the frown is an upside down smile and I would have been forgiven......eventually.

But seriously, this is an amazing SUV. Did I mention the PDK was awesome?

Pictures tomorrow after I pry the keys from her hand.

That’s ironic, I bought my wife a Macan GTS for X-mas. She’d have been happy with the S but the GTS was just a bit more comparable to the Audi S3 (which is now my DD) that it replaced. It is a really nice car (the Macan) and you are spot on about the PDK - it is almost magical, for lack of a better word.
