@Kemfii Have you seen the interior of the jeep? I've been in the porche and it doesn't impress me. And from this video the cayenne is only a wee bit faster than the jeep, certainly not worth paying double for a few tenths of a second less time. Plus the Jeep can tow 7400 pounds, plow through snow and sand, and drive up and down mount everest. The Cayenne's just a 550 hp soccer mom car.

GC sounds way cooler and its badass

@jnsn06 Honestly, What's Wrong With The Range Rover Sport Supercharged. It's Quite Fast, Luxurious Interior, Handles Very Well, Has As Much Kit As The Rest Of Them And I Keep Talking About Offroad Prowess Cuz I Do Take My Car Offroad, By The Way I Have 2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. It's Also Very Good Looking. It Just Seems Like The Best Choice

@Kemfii I think the ML63 looks like a soccer mom car as well. Most European SUVs have that same compact look that I'm not a fan of. I respect your opinion, but think the ML63 is the last of the three. I'd place it 5th under the X5 M and even a Q7S. Furthermore, I don't get why everyone keeps bragging about "holding it's own off-road." You've got to be insane to take any of these cars off the pavement. I still love the Jeep. It's the most beautiful one in it's class.

driven both of them because im a valet. Im from Detroit and love German cars but the Jeep is the way to, put a vortec in the engine and do some mods and youll be good. considering theres a $40k difference and thats not with options...

[Kemfii]

@jnsn06 Agreed. I Wouldn't Buy The Cayenne Either Even Though It Is A Better Made Car Compared To The Jeep It's Just Too Ugly For Me. Instead I Would Buy The New ML63 AMG. Sounds Meaner And Looks Meaner Than Both Cars. It's 25K Less Than The Cayenne, Same Interior Quality, Faster Than Both Cars, Will Hold It's Own Off Road. Don't Get Me Wrong The Jeep Is A Really Good, Wouldn't Begrudge Anyone Who Bought One. It Just Isn't Quite There Yet. Its Lacks The Refinement And Quality Of It's Rivals

@Kemfii I own a 2012 SRT8 and can honestly say that I am never going to consider the Porsche. It costs about $40k more (base), and for what? A turbo charger? The Jeep looks meaner, sounds better, and if I install a turbo, will leave the Cayenne in the dust. I'll buy the Porsche for my wife someday. Until then, people who care more about status symbols than what they actually want, or people who capitalize every word and make absolutely no grammatical sense or impact can have it.

There are two different buyers. Porsche is full of technology, very high quality materials, handles, built to last. The Jeep is obviously the cheaper side of it. The Cayenne is actually out selling its competition

@alessandrozerbone couldnt have said it better, i agree 100%

[ACCHRM]

@Annakkanalen Porsche - weights 4784 lbs. base price is 100 grand! and the design is a pussy...cant imagine a guy driving it...

Jeep - 5150 lbs (full tank) base price is 26 - 54 grand, the design is a kick in the head, didnt seen more agressive SUV yet...

[Kemfii]

@alessandrozerbone No They Can't At Least Not In SRT-8 Trim. Jeep Said The Wanted The SRT-8 To Be A Street/Track Focused SUV So The Ditched All The Off Road Stuff, You Can Even Look It Up On Their Website

[Maranellolt7]

@Annakkanalen From what I heard, the GC has some Benz in it..
