Porsche Cayenne?

Those things are pretty damn fast...or at least the one I saw last night was. I was getting on the freeway. As soon as the on ramp straightened out I gave it about 3/4 throttle up to 70mph. He stayed right with me no problem. I stayed in the right lane cuz mine was the first exit, but he flew around me on the left side and was doing 100mph in no time at all. Judging by the halogen headlights I thought it was an Infinti FX at first when I looked in my rear view. But when he went flying by me I saw on the back it said "Cayenne Turbo". It also had dual exaust and sounded pretty cool...almost like the SVT Lightning. That thing was quick!

Re: Porsche Cayenne?

No fair. Those rich bastards get leather, cruise control, 12 second clips, and enough cargo room for all their friends and their kids. I'm jealous. Gotta tip my hat to Porsche though. That thing was designed for soccer moms on nose candy!

At $95,000 for the Turbo model you don't see many of them... although in my area i've seen quite a few.

Of course it's all financed so they're going to be in debt foreverrr. Can you imagine what the monthly payments are on one? Even for a 60 month (5 year) term. Not including finance charges or tax or any of the other dealer fee's that get tacked onto or any options. If you got the Turbo model at $95,000 your monthly payment with a 60 month term would be $1583. Then insurance on a new vehicle... sheesh man that's some serious cash.

Crazy.

Indeed, obviously if you're going to buy a turbo Porsche SUV then its most likely you already have an expensive sports car as well....or an expensive luxary car.
