I did drive the auto in the Cayenne, I don't think it had the new automatic. I thought the new auto was only available in the Turbo. Anyway, the shifts felt like the normal tiptronic.

The Cayman felt tight, but I have to be honest, I didn't feel that any of them was all that faster than a base box. It had a little more pull, but once you are flooring it and all hell is breaking loose, it is kind of hard to judge acceleration.

They were all sweet rides and you are right, the brake calipers on the Cayenne Turbo S were enormous! It looked like they belong on a dumptruck.
