$75K? 0-60 7.2? I'd look for a discounted Cayenne turbo..
what? 0-60 in 7.2?????

WHOA for $75k? that's a rip off, no thanks, I'll go buy a Jeep SRT8 and invest rest of the money, they'll have same depreciation rate anyways.

Do the rhing have enough buttons.. Anywho I love the Range Rover and always have if they weren't so so bad with their electrical stuff I'd be all over it not even knowing what a LX is.

If you are a lexus owner you should know that it is not always about the engine. It is the entire package that you get for the higher price tag. The HSE model is about 56K, the Super charged is 69K. IMHO it is like apples and oranges. You should compare this to the Cayanne or the X5.

they are talking about high performance SUVs.

even compare to the X5 4.8IS, this thing is slooooooooooooooow the Cheyenne Turbo is like airplane compare to this thing, for the price I expect it to be much faster, here's the sad thing, it probally has same interior feeling to a Jeep Cherokee, and possibily more glitches than a Jeep. Now, for the money, the only one in my opinion that I'm willing to shell out the money that I don't have is the Cheyenne, you are actually getting what you are paid for, nothing less or more.

The problem with the Porche Cayanne is that it is UGLY. Sorry but that is my opinion. I am sure some really like it but looks horrible to me. I think we will have to agree that we disagree.

This baby is nice looking, very sporty and handsome. I guess I would go for this over the GX, but a modded Cayenne Turbo (maybe 1 yr preowned) would get the nod over it (450hp SUV with lots of hp adding potential ownz me).

I have to agree, the 'Pepper is a ugly ducking bone stock, but god it looks good modded

i'd still buy a Range Rover Sport.


cayenne can't off-road like a RRS. and given it's massive size and weight--it's more like a SUV.

when i buy a SUV, i want a SUV....not a lifted performance sedan.
