If I had a cottage, I am going to assume it's a pretty civilized place.  Maybe no fancy stuff, but I figure that most of the time, most everything I need save from some groceries, is there.

So, for me, I figure the best way to get there would be in a Cayman S.

Yeah, our cottage can easily be accessed by a lowered 911.
However in the winter you usually need AWD to get up the driveway.

I think I prefer taking these to the cottage more than a minivan.

In a place where a cottage is a cottage and not a second house. No power, TV, Internet, cell service, sewer, water, or anything to distract from having fun

other than built in propane.  :)

Mommy made us do it, she wanted a fridge....then it expanded to stove and lighting  :)

Hey Peter, I think there is a typo when referring to the Toyota 4Runner, "so if a no-apologies utilitarian rig that’ll tow 5,000 kg is what you’re after, the 4Runner certainly has its charms." According to that statement, it tows more than the "Work Truck"  Ram 1500 Laramie 4×4 Crew Cab with the stupid chrome mirrors, on a "Work Truck".  Toyota wishes a 4.0L V6 could tow more than that aging 5.7L Hemi.  But 5000lbs is still pretty good, for that engine, and fuel economy.  Nice feature, didn't see any Hyundai's, darn  ::)
