some of those stats are way off. 3550kg? I'm assuming that's lbs. or change the 3 with a 1?

EDIT: that's the weight of the SUV, that damn thing must be made of solid steel or something!

Those marginal horsepower sure are expensive!

Can't wait to see Gustav get this against the Super Sport out on the gtboard/m5board runways.

the front looks kinda weird to me. I think the headlights look cheap, and should be lower. Then the back doesn't go with the front.

Looks pretty nice

1104 HP out of a V8? That's pushing it.

And it's all relative. With the $60B Bill Gates has, he could buy nearly 49,000 of these!!! I imagine driving ONE daily wouldn't hurt him.

The rest of us drive on average $25K cars daily but I'll make a stretch and say that few of us could buy 49,000 loaded Camry's.
