Don't think I'll be taking any pics there.

Oh, you saw the cars too.

They don't drvie alike.  I have VW as well as Porsche and we sell roughly two to one Cayenne to Touareg.  Not the national average but when it comes to a direct comparison that is what we get.

The new suspension system which Porsche calls PDCC is an active dampner on the stabilizer bars, it cranks in more stiffness the harder you push it in a corner.  It is hard to believe a nearly 6,000 pound vehicle can be on rails, but it is definitely that way and if anyone is thinking of a Luxury high end SUV and wants the ultimate in handling, the Cayenne is it.  Styling is a personal choice, but let's face it, any SUV is a brick going down the road, Porsche reduce the drag this year to below .40 drag coefficient and increased fuel economy by 15% in combination with engine tuning and increased horsepower.

Q, like I said the drive is the selling point.  Check them out when the 2008 hits the showroom on March 7, they have improved the look some although it isn't a major change.

When I was looking for another vehicle I looked at the diesel Toureg.

So it was 68K for the V10 Toureg or 48K for the Powerstroke 4 door Lariet retail to retail.

Seemed liked a real easy choice.

Wanted the Toureg real bad but 20K is a big hurdle.

It costs VW 3X's more to make a V10 diesel than it cost Porsche to make a twin Turbo for the Cayenne.  We may see some economy of scale now that Porsche is going to be a major influence in VW.

I have an 04 V10 on the lot and a 06 with 5k available.  The 04 is now $49,500.00 and the 06 is $59,500.00.  The have a ton of torque and great roadability.

I understand the economics.  We had demand for the diesel greater than availability, but VW imported low numbers.
