If any Porsche deserves such criticism (vanity over performance), it's that rediculous Cayenne SUV...(God, I cringe at the very thought of that thing).

That horrid schiess-wagen has no place in the Porsche lineup. It is an absurd contradiction of vanity, conspicuous consumption and flawed driving dynamics.

[Yes, I said flawed.]

So there. :eek3:

Pardon my intensity.


Well, I was looking at it from a different angle, but I see your point. I compare owning a cayenne to owning an H2...you paid a lot of money to be looked at.

To me, the base Boxster isn't the case. The base boxster is 42k...realitively easy to afford for the average 30-something Joe Blow, and yet they relish the fact that they own something as prestigeous as a porsche.

All IMO of course.
