Would you spend that on an SUV if you were?

Posted by: Brew Nov 28 2006, 05:08 PM

I think I would! And I would prolly just leave it at my condo in Aspen for the maid to use!!
Have you ever driven a Cayenne? Best handling station wagon I've ever been in!!

in so-cal 130K buys you a spot to keep a fridge box....

I'm in a 1021sqft condo, on the market for $450K right now...

in my opinion... that is more rediculous than that fine machine's price.

and im in phoenix... thanks for increasing hour house prices rediculously with all your speculative buying from CA .... wish i would have actually bought a house, now i'll have to go back to the midwest if i ever want to own one for a sane price.

There's one at a Vancouver BC dealership...$168,035!!!!
There has a been a lot of discussion in car groups/media about how much more Canadians pay for the exact same cars that are exported to the US including allowances for the exchange rate. It's the same for German and Asian cars. When approached (eg Toyota), the response was: the price was based on 'whatever the market will bear'! There seems to be a bit of a grassroots revolt starting up. Some of the dealers south of the border make you sign an 'agreement' that states that you will not resell the car in Canada. Some manufacturers also say that warranties may be voided!

Ooo, 250 hp in the V6 My new to me 05 saturn Vue has 250hp (fastest damn thing that I have ever owned) and cost much less. Why not just get the Twarag whatchamacallit from VW which looks almost the same and shares the same parts?

I agree with Sammy about the comparisson with the 928 and how the prices will likely go. I'll get one for fun then
