Maybe, except that the Mini Cooper looks awesome this thing on the other hand.....

I think SUV is the wrong acronym for this vehicle. My Mercedes wagon has a lot bigger utility space than this vehicle. Maybe HLS ? High-profile Luxury Sedan.

Okay, I've added my .02

Wayne, you can move this to the Cayenne forum now.

I agree - it looks more like it ATE a Mini Cooper.

I still think it will sell. But don't think that makes me happy!

And you're POSITIVE that's not a Hyundai or Kia huh?

Looks Korean to me, not that there's anything wrong with that........

I recall a recent post comparing the Cayenne unfavorably with a Maseratti in the area of offroad capability. The Maseratti also had something near 500 horsepower, but a significantly higher ground clearance. I suspect the Maseratti would kick it's ass in offroad testing, but I don't care and here's why.

To me, the proper testing ground for a tow vehicle is not an offroad course. Nurburgring is the proper test course. The test should be conducted in the hottest part of summer, and the car and trailer should weigh a combined 3500 lbs.

Nevertheless, I do expect the Cayenne to make the trip from France to Egypt. Wearing a number.

Amir, this one is thick enough that most people get the faint humor behind it--you know, sarcasm. Look it up, although understanding will come with age. Don't make me use smilies just because of you. Relax, for God's sake.

Smilies never hurt anyone

later,

A Maserati? Huh? What Maser?

The world's first review, in the recent Car magazine (you all read Car, right? Right? Finest car rag in the worl, me thinks) actually spoke very nicely of the off-road capabilities, saying something to the effect that it put the Range Rover in its place.

Apart from that, I wouldn't suspect that they're going to race the thing. Probably far too complex with massive expense.
