I love the way Cayenne prices range from 57,500 to 173,265. That's some option list!

The test model is modestly equipped with less than $6k in options. You can price one over $200k if you so desire.

Love the console...with all of it's buttons.

Crazy way to spend nearly $200k for those in my tax bracket, but it would seem to be the SUV of choice for those without such trivial financial worries...

Similarly a base 911 starts around $90k and well optioned 911 Turbo S Cabrio reaches about $250k!  Increasing "value" on these vehicles rarely follows a linear curve.  It's more exponential.   Which is probably also true of the average income of the purchasers:  $200k/yr household -> $2.0M/yr household

Now if they just made that transmission selector into a complete sidestick controller....

To be honest, that's too much car for daily driving.  Cayenne S will be more than enough -- decent power without going over the top.  It's a bargain at $75,400! (base before freight & taxes)

Could the Turbo S actually tow a GTS and trailer?

If only it wasn't soooooo ugly!
