Default traded in

Traded in the 350 this past weekend for a '06 white porsche CS - 6sp. it was a lease takeover/buyout with a price i couldn't resist. These are 2 completely different beasts even though power wise they are the same. i will be giving up lots of perks such as sunroof, vented seats, ipod/in dash 6 mp3 player, etc (the list goes on and on) but the CS is a RAW sports car. engine sound is amazing even compared to my tanabe on the IS. i definately WILL miss the lex, but will surely enjoy the CS at the same time.

thanks to everyone on CL for all the help and info, hopefully the porsche forums are as informative.

If I could make that trade (2 door, no backseat, etc) I would in a heartbeat. That is an awesome car!

Post pics or we will hunt you down

How do you like the 6 speed?

I think he got a Cayman S as opposed to a Carrera S, but i could be wrong.

i'm back guys! lol

yes, i did get the cayman S - it was better bang for the buck compared to a C2 or C2S (carrera)

but given the upcoming addition to the family we needed something less sporty so i went back to lexus without hesitation.

i still miss my 06 350 .... but have had and will continue to enjoy my CS for many years to come.

cheers
