Porsche. There is no substitute. 
wasn't a huge fan of original cayenne looks but 2nd gen is great.
it may not be as 'capable' as some others in the poll, but it's full of awesome.

I still can't justify buying a Cayenne, X5M, X6M or any other "performance" suv with the hope of driving it the same way I would a proper sports coupe or sedan. I don't care about the numbers or all of the horsepower, it still just doesn't feel right and if I'm going to buy a performance car it sure as hell better give me the right haptic feedback and sense of confidence that I am looking for.
I've always thought that Land Rovers were pretty class so that's my choice. But, now that I think about it, one could get the Porsche with a 6MT or hybrid flavor, both of which appeal to me.

As much as I favor a proper sports car over a sports SUV, there's one significant advantage that the sports SUV has - you can actually see where you're going.
If you find yourself on a twisty mountain road in a proper sports car, you'll be crawling like a snail, because you can't see a damn thing ahead of you. In an SUV you're sitting higher, so you see further ahead, so you can actually lay the pedal down a bit more.

I picked the G wagen, because it's the only one with locking differentials, front, center and rear. It was actually built with serious off roading in mind, unlike any of the others. To me, an SUV needs to be off road oriented first, with road manners second. If I wanted perfect road manners, i'd buy a car, not a truck.
