Porsche Cayenne GTS: Manual transmission dead before arrival?

We heard some surprising and disappointing rumors that the manual transmission for the Porsche Cayenne GTS is delayed (in best case) or might not happen at all. Too bad!

Dubspeed Driven’s mole within the Porsche customer base, “Deep Fox”, recently placed an order for a six-speed GTS with all the trimmings, but was surprised to receive a call from his dealer today informing him that availability of manual-transmission GTS models would be delayed until further notice, or perhaps indefinitely. The only way to retain his spot in the GTS line would be to spend the extra $3,000 and take the Tiptronic transmission. We’ll keep you posted as more information arrives, but right now it looks like the praise of the auto-journalist crowd hasn’t exactly convinced Porsche there’s really a market for a six-speed Cayenne V8.
