OK, this is just pathetic. I know it's old news, but i need to rant. I can't believe Porsche has sold out this bad. What is less Prosche-like than this POS?! "More performance through lighter weight"...yeah, my ***. How about "Yeah, it sucks *** but we'll add a huge *** engine to it." And why? So more suburbanite soccer mom can race around in their overpowered SUVs because their husbands need to compensate for god knows what (read: tiny dicks) by buying this crap instead of something reasonable.

Seriously, this is such utter BS. So with that little bit of ranting out of the way, I ask this: who is going to step up first and scream out loud "YES, I AM AN OBLIVOUS FOOL THAT WILL BE DROPPING MAJOR CASH FOR A PORSCHE SUV!" Alright...let's see it...who is first?<ul><li><a href="http://www.motortrend.com/feb01/cayenne/cayenne_f.html">Porsche GarbageCayenne SUV</a></li></ul>

Default People feel like they're in better control when they're higher in the air...

Kinda ironic eh, higher center of gravity...and most SUV's handle like ****.

But I feel so safe in it and the ride height is just right for putting my kids in the car!

Default HAHAH...no doubt! And 0-60 in 5 from going from the soccer field to the baseball diamond!

Not to mention the ability to make those runs to the safeway or QFC go so much faster!

Default Ok, so granted its probably not the best vehicle for a soccer mom, but still

why dis it so hard? If I had $150k and nothing better to spend it on, why not? While I find the VW version to be better looking, I still think there is plenty of use for it. Why not haul *** up to the mountains in style? I guess its hard to understand for someone who doesn't live in a rural area....

Default 0-60 in 5.0 450HP?!? Do you trust their target demographic...

with that much power? I wouldn't. I'll be damn scared. At least these days a well driven stock 6-spd S4 can pull away from most SUV in those situations where it comes necessary. But this twin-turbo V8 is going to be scary sh*t. I think I'll go register the domain: http://www.porscheSUVavoidance.com and send live updates to cell phones as to where the next porsche SUV is. This is bullsh*t. Parents buying these cars for their daughter, or husbands for their wives. My apologies to the lady drivers out their (my own mom has worked me at the track in her porsche =/ ), but seriously most women drivers with cell phones and kids in the back aren't the safest drivers.
