Anyone bought a new turbo S? What kind of deal?

They are hard to find, but a Turbo with the Sport Design package (aka "aero kit") is probably what you are after. It makes the car look a whole lot more aggressive, imo.
This is why the GTS is appealing, as that kit is standard on the GTS. Plus blacked out trim, which adds even more aggression.

True enough, on that color it is not really worth it.
For me, it makes all the difference in the world on other colors. I think the regular Cayenne looks far too plain, as you mentioned. A Turbo looks better with the more gaping grill and power dome hood, but I think it takes the Sport Design kit to really make it look special. I ordered a GTS and the biggest draw to me was the looks. I wouldn't have bought a 958 otherwise.

+1.. I have talked to a few regretful owners. Unless you go offroad, I feel the AMG G55 / G63 is all show.

My CTTS interior is the Carrera Red/Black with CF grabbers and CF sills
I splurged and also got PCM in leather and the extended leather package
It is breathtaking

Worth every penny. RAKLAW has the ideal combo. Not sure what his ext. color is but you can't go wrong with that interior combo.

RAKLAW,
Nice choice of interiors! If I decide to step in a 958 from my 957, that will be my interior choice for sure.
