I agree in theory but SUVs are a necessary evil. I applaud Porsche for at least making every one of their products still have that Porsche DNA. Their sports cars are still world class and not watered down.
I'm more upset at Porsche for their obscene pricing, ADMs, and limited allocations to get into one of their sports cars.

As evidenced by the GT cars, the Sport Classic, the Dakar, and the continued supremacy of the 911 in the sports car world, I’d say they’re doing plenty to keep the enthusiasts happy. Far better than any other German brand and it’s not even particularly close. |

Not sure how anyone can hate on this car. Porsche makes amazing sports cars and also one of the fastest SUVs on the planet. What exactly is the issue?

Because people think their manual 328i from 2007 is the only true driver's car on the planet and nothing else will suffice.

In short: I had fun with a base macan. I just drove a base x2 yesterday and wanted to kill myself.

Is it right height? Perhaps. But this Turbo pulls more G on a skid pad than a BMW M5. So it doesn’t seem to hurt it. Perhaps it’s stamina. The Turbo has 17-inch front brakes. That’s enormous. They do not fade. So yes, it’s absolutely an SUV. But it drives as well as any car I’ve driven.

It’s not a 911. Not sure how old you are, but a 911 isn’t really practical for family needs. So, when the day comes to pick up the kids from school, ease the turbo out of the garage, grab the children, and take the back roads home. I’d bet you my M3 (you know, not a sports car), that you have a smile on your face in 30 seconds.

So far no mention of the Cayenne’s significant lux cruiser capabilities. Air suspension and full leather interior deliver long-distance comfort, which adds to the already well-known excellent cornering ability and power levels.

17" and 16" brake rotors? Yeah, because that very fast monstrosity somehow weighs more than my wife's body on frame, real truck, 2020 4runner, thus needs all that braking power to haul it down. The expenable running cost on this silly thing will be outrageous as goes for most of these other silly so called SUVs. Last edited by XutvJet; 01-29-2023 at 08:12 AM.. |

It is hilarious that Porsche touts the use of a titanium exhaust to cut out 40lbs from this 5ķ pound lifted all wheel drive sedan. |

Performance SUVs are silly, but wagons do not sell here. I feel like we had our chance and voted with our wallets. As for running costs, obscene sure, but at over 200k, owners won’t care. And hey, driven in a vacuum, as an engineering achievement, the car is amazing. “Coupes” are weird, but SUVs are practical, and if you have the money, why not.
