So my wife went out to pick up a few things for our New Year's party Friday and came back driving a new Dodge Durango Hemi ....... if you knew my wife, this type of behavior would not be totally unexpected.
Anyway, I snuck out early this morning while she was sleeping and took it for a little test drive

With memories of my old Cayenne S still fresh, I was curious how a 'conventional' SUV with nearly identical HP and weight would stack up. Nice ride, solid feel, smooth auto gearbox, decent acceleration, slightly
tippy handling, excellent instrument layout ..... in a nutshell? The Porsche could literally run circles around this thing! OK, it was almost half the price. But for 2 vehicles with the same HP/weight ratio, they're from different planets!
