all good comments based on perceived need for performance. my perceived desire was to drive a porsche,
i also wanted the newest car i could afford, and up here in canada, S's are not as common, (mostly due to the much higher asking price even when new)
everyone who has had a ride in my 2.7 walks away satisfied, the car is comfortable and a thrill to drive, there will always be faster cars out there, but i don't care because i'll just enjoy and be thankful for what i have,
so in my opinion having an S is not necessarily better, there are other criteria which need to be considered such as fuel cost, insurance, etc...
when the weather is nice, it sure is a nice way to get around ...
