Don't kid yourself, SUV's can't 4x4. Look at how little ground clearance that shit has.

they look about the same to me (id give the edge to porsche) i like that the cayenne has those handlebars in the centre but.. yeah



exterior wise i feel the Jeep has it by a landslide there's always a give and take



and with the porsche if you want any seemingly basic features (in other brands) your price ends up skyrocketing from on par with the jeep into 911 S+ territory

the centerconsole in the cayenne looks far more upscale, but you guys are missing the point...

people who are in the market for srt8 jeeps are not going to look at v6 cayennes.. they want a muscular suv that competes with cayenne turbo, x5(6)/m etc. etc. with an affordable price tag.

now before i get flamed, im no way in saying its better built than the german muscle suvs, but price wise, it could be bang for the buck for potential performance oriented suv buyers..

descent power, affordable, may of course lack in some quality compartments from its euro competitors, but again affordable price attracts potential budget buyers in the market and mainly..the discretion of brand perception

think of hyundai for example

sit in the drivers seat of a 600hp SRT8 Jeep first and then you'll understand why. This is fucking awesome.

4Runners are not SUVs. Try doing that in a Kia or Honda or H2 or GMA Yukon or any other modern SUV, it will die.

let's assume it's covered by the warranty the first few yrs

how much would a 7-8 year old (let's say 2004-2006 Cayenne) for regular maintenance go for?

Most modern ones, no. There are a few on the market right now that are very capable, though. However, if I were to get one to actually 4x4, it'd be an old Pathfinder or 80's Toyota pickup.

Huh? I understand your argument but 4runner's are SUV's... My regi doesn't say "truck" on it.

And as far as the H2 argument goes...
