That's a great thought, and I know a couple guys who love their turbo Cayenne's. But man, I just can't get into them.

The only thing better than an English vehicle to me, would be something from the hard working folks in India. With Rover/Tata, I can have both

Haha, man, the irish dude who owns a nightclub and drives one would disagree with that.

I learned pretty quick not to pick on his car.

I don' know nuthin' bout no right and wrong, but I think my beef with Cayenne's is the fact that they started the "cross over" genre.... and Cross-Overs are just a big bummer.

Well the boss of the house says I can get the cayman or Elise if I part with the audi. I am trying to argue the point with the rover outside I still have an open bay in the garage so the cayman will fit just fine & will keep my audi compny. Battle is not going well so far..

Hahaha, well, don't let our musings over the Cayenne make you feel bad... the Porsche is of course a phenomenally successful vehicle, and extremely well engineered.

We should all be grateful for the incredible vehicles we're able to experience in our lifetimes.

I close personal friend of mine from Wisconsin has an Aston Martin V12 Vantage. It's absolutely one of the most incredible machines I've ever sat in. Truly a masterpiece.

Well now, I'll have to say for a few years my work provided me with an 05 LR3 for driving around logging roads and other mountain type terrain... I found that the LR3 did a helluva lot better job on washboard dirt track at 45 mph than the disco does. nearly like floating over what would otherwise be a beating. The sophistication of the terrain control on the LR3 impressed me, along with the ability to lower the body at the touch of a button when entering a parking garage with a roof rack on top!!

I have not found a problem with the LR3 in snow or mountain conditions and its a bit more comfy than the disco, though I love my disco.
