Took my Bro and Sis for a ride in the Pepper Pig this evening.
First thing my brother asked about was the motor compared to the Rover. Had to tell him the Rover had an anemic 180hp 3.9 liter V8 and the Cayenne S has a 340hp 4.5 liter V8. And that the air suspension was part of a trailer towing package that would tow up to 7700lbs. Joked that I needed to get a trailer so i could tow the 928 back and forth to the shop.
First thing they noticed was how much easier it was for Mom to get in compared to both sister's Expolder and brother's Escapé.
Leaving the neighborhood they immediately commented it rode more like a sports car than an SUV.
Took a well know local very bumpy road and got Wows all around at how well it really smoothed em out yet was still great handling and tight. Sister in back seat kept saying Wow, wow, wow, just wow. PASM is nothing less than amazing.
Hit the highway and pointed out how it lowered when we went over 70, then raised back up when we pulled off and slowed down. No comment from the peanut gallery. Don't think anyone would notice except for the light that tells you what the ride height is.
Overall, think my bro was really impressed. He had made a comment in the past and think he believed a Cayenne was just paying for the Porsche name. Think my 10 year old Cayenne really out-shined both their 2014 model Fords. Bro did comment that it was very nice.
The only thing that would have been more impressive is if I would have found one that also had the Enter and Drive, and the automatic lift gate options.
