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
Trust me those things are shitty, ive driven a couple at work and theyre way to sensitive and handle like shit. I dont know how the others compare with handling but i definetely wouldnt waste my time with one.
I remember I was driving and saw one of the SRTwhatever suv's take off... Thing sounded like fucking Satan. I dd one of those any day of the week and blow the doors off most cars on the road. With the groceries in the back too.

Ya....
Hes talking stock, and 4runners are different anyway.

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.
Anyone saying domestics fall apart after 5 years, I have a 2003 grand cherokee V8 HO. I maintain it well, do all preventative maintenance and it probably runs better than most cars its age, including my dads honda
