Porsche now makes a Cayenne coupe... that's right the non utilitarian version of the utilitarian suv that was made because the sports cars not utilitarian enough. :fullretard:
I don't see the point of that over a Panamera. :iono: :wrong:

Perhaps the higher trims of the Panamera are probably too fucking low for use as a regular car, so they had to lower a Cayenne instead?

Rich chicks like to sit up high but still PCar so you don't rip off the front bumper parking at shopping centers. That is the point.

I pull up short in the Beema. It isn't really a problem or you can hard park.

Totally. Pushing about 500 whp. Stock clutch and stock brakes.

He dumped it it Monday because there was something wrong with the suspension. :iono:

Nah. He got an Elantra Sport. :baby: reasons so he wanted a sedan.

I'm shocked at how nice it sounds though. Exhaust sounds better on a cold start than my R pre res-delete.

Those are actually :notbad: they’re essentially the cheaper GLI considering it also comes with a dual clutch trans as well

Yeah it's not bad although I like the looks of the previous gen in the video much better. The 2019 revision isn't much of a looker.

He test drove the Si as well but didn't like it I guess. Also got the DCT because he didn't feel like driving :manuel: anymore but I suspect other reasons.

I'm not letting her teach me to fly, until she learns how to land.
