Drive a Touareg and a Cayenne back-to-back. Not at all the same truck. Touareg drives heavy and solid. I test drove a base V6 Cayenne and was surprised and impressed -I can only imagine the Turbo! Good thing I couldn't find one when my lady was in the market - we ended up with a cheap Q5.
If you (or your wife) have to have an SUV - why not make it the sportiest driving one you can find? If a sports car manufacturer needs to mass-produce a grocery getter with a hefty profit margin in order to offset the R&D that goes into their niche, low-production offerings, so be it. Everybody wins - and the brand becomes a household name. Porsche's mass-produced stuff has made the brand one of the most profitable auto manufacturers in the world - And the marketing department does a great job keeping the sporty image up.
