From what you listed, I would aim for the 2009 GTS. The GTS is a moderate step up from the S in power, but a large step up in looks and equipment. Also, you'll have the option of a 6-speed manual if that's something you'd be interested in (and if you can find one).

These are all pretty good assessments. Buying a CTT means you get a massive package deal discount. Engine is only part of it. Call me crazy, but if you'd prefer a GTS, you probably haven't driven a CTT yet...

Also today i recieved an email from one i found only 150 miles from me thats a 2008 GTS, black ext, black wheels, 15K MILES, still under warranty, bluetooth, nav premium sound. The bluetooth confuses me i thought that wasnt available untile 2009 model, and he told me $35000 gets it. private seller that seem legit.
can someone tell me if 2008 GTS had the newer (3.0, is that what its called with the bluetooth, touchscreen etc) as an option or a half model year thing or something. if so i told the guy not to be scared about the guy in the flatbed in front of his house as i will be there waiting for him when he gets back to town with cash in hand. LOL pretty excited about this one, but dont really want to post the add as its kinda obscure and local where it was posted and dont want someone snatching it up before me, dude it got less than 15k miles, with 22 techart wheels, looks so sweet Let me know guys i'm counting on you for this one Thanks Brian
The blutooth can be added aftermarket ~700 bux. Google mobridge or denison. It is added to the factory installed units, and then you can get a2p adp or whatever it is called streaming of audio, dial from the phonebook, etc. Fully integrates it. What you dont get is touch screen, newer navigation and HD based instead of DVD based. Honestly if you can find a 2008 for thousands less, I would get the 2008, because HP and Torque wise, it is the same car. The radio is one of the few differences on the interior and not worth paying 7k for I would think.

If you can find a 2007 model they are free too

Have you tried CarMax?? They usually have plenty of S versions for under $35K.

I would go for the GTS because it looks better than the Turbo. At the end of the day it's still a SUV.
