I drive a Panamera Turbo S back several years ago and felt like it was soulless. It's harder to take the emotion out of an ICE but it can be done. I took that thing on the highway late with very...

When we saw our first Cayenne, it was in person picking up my wife's Mercedes. We stood there laughing until it hurt, literally. A few short years later, we had our first child on the way and I was...

Of all the sports cars I've owned, the C8 is my favorite. So many great things I can say about it. But if I'm to be honest, my favorite feature, sadly, is the rock solid seat bolster I use to pull...

Shooting brake, lol. Cool name for a God awful design. Ferrari is famous for trying this, over....and over...and over.

One thing that's bugging the crap out of me as I kinda look around at a first EV or PHEV purchase, there are more mundane brands that are building interesting platforms that transcend or overlap...

You could well be right, I don't know how or if it'll work out. I'm one hopeful buyer only. But just consider, what was the stereotype for Porsche before the Cayenne? A slightly more upscale,...

For me, Cadillac's styling jumped the shark 30yrs ago. Though there's enough of a market for their brand and style that they've routinely rebodied the Corvette into a Cadillac roadster so there's...

Fair enough. I'm with ya. I've been on Mike's Z06 list for about 30 months and bet I'm only half way there. I'm in no hurry frankly. I don't have the cash yet and I don't want a loan at these rates.

Not universally true. I love both, C8 and Cayenne but it has to be the Turbo S. There's so little storage space in the vette that there's little I "can" do with it other than enjoy driving. If I'm...

Agreed. I agree they should not call it a Corvette SUV. I don't care what it's eventually called. I just want to know how real and how close a true sport EV SUV is from GM. If they did use the...

Corvette EV SUV

How real is it?

I know we all hate the idea. I get it. When Porsche came out with the Cayenne, my wife and I stood there at the dealership laughing until it hurt. Bought my first a few years later...

I always sorta assumed that would be the Zora, whether turboed as well as hybrid was my concern. Putting turbos on the LT6 just seems sacrilege to me. An LT6 with front electrification sounds great.

I like the Aztek now. I hated it when it came out, but it's got that shave your ass and teach it to walk backward look that only a mother can love. I loved Breaking Bad, too.

Wow. You do realize I am not now nor have I ever argued for it to be called Corvette? I have a birthday today and need to grab a shower and head out. Been nice chatting with you.

Okey Dokey, well, I've had five Cayenne Turbos/TTSs and have considered a Urus on numerous occasions and "I" intend to buy one of these as long as it will charge to grid. I guess I'm unique.
