Now the new lineup is coming in April, the Turbo gets 500hp, so perhaps no Turbo S to follow... for now. But I am hoping that it will make the pre-face lift models come off so I can pick up a Turbo or a Turbo S for half the money...
Now you see, at the end of the day, if I had gotten a 997TT like I wanted, I could have saved that money and kept the X5 a little while longer... But I admit... I've been bit. And boy its an expensive bug!!!!
Enjoy Dave, have fun skiing.

For those contemplating the '08 Cayenne Turbo or the '06 Turbo S, though, keep this in mind--the new model will have 500 HP (compared to 520 for the Turbo S), will have close to the same acceleration, and using the newly engineered gasoline direct injection (GDI) will realize about an 11% improvement in fuel efficiency with 13 mpg for city driving and 20 mpg on the highway. Not that fuel efficiency is the deciding factor here, but a few less stops at the pump would be nice!

In all seriousness though, with that colour option on the titanium edition - what else could you get?
