Question New GTS

So for the new model year, they may release the GTS anywhere between next year and 4-5 years, and I was just wondering peoples thoughts on it. Like should it stay with a 6-speed manual, or should they try for a seven(if that's possible?), and what would y'all look forward to in it, like do y'all expect same grill as Turbo model again or should it be different, should it be lowered more then the Turbo like the last one?(I think it was). Also do you think it should have it's own type of exhaust seperate from the Cayenne S sport exhaust system(I believe I heard they are making a sport exhaust system for the new S in the new future) and the turbo? Should they keep this straight manual or should they make auto transmission available? Just some of the many questions, remember any input would be great on this topic, I just want to see everyone's opinion on this, and if y'all think this is stupid I will close the thread . Also one more question , what options do y'all think would come standard on it? PDCC? Bose sound system? Steering wheel w/paddle shifters if it came in automatic? Manual Transmission? Remember don't shoot me down for just asking opinions on this please .

Here's my opinion on the matter:
i) 6-speed manual is more than adequate unless you have a 60° incline in Dubai to tackle (highly unlikely) in which reverse should come in quite handy. I would like to see them install a PDK in a GTS however this would definitely cross out any trailer pulling.

ii)Esthetically-speaking, why break tradition? Follow-up with the Turbo Grille, aero kit, spoilers, wings, etc... Also, the blacked-out look should be predominantly GTS. Smoked front Xenon lenses would look nice IMO (à la Charger SRT8) including a rear taillight treatment (Something retro to the '80's Mustang?).

iii)Exhaust note should stay distinctive only to the GTS however, a sport exhaust option should be made available for the 'S'.

iv) Although this would never happen, I would consider paying gobs of money to get a selectable RWD-AWD transfer case where I can run RWD during the summer months. Ohhh...sweeet....it's nice to dream!

Perhaps, but remember, 22000 of them were due to Larry and "!"
