    After test driving a V-6, a Diesel, a Hybrid, and a "S",
    I have ordered a Diesel for late November delivery.
    It is a very impressive engine, no lag, very quiet, smooth, serious torque.

    The Cayenne is very nice all around, I can see why Porsche sells so many.
    The 911 will soon be for sale.

    Why would you get rid of a 911 to buy a small SUV?

    Interested in a diesel version myself, especially if I decide on a daily driver with towing capabilities.

    Gave it a test drive in Alaska a couple of weeks ago. What do you want to know?

    While the 911 is a wonderful car, it is a PITA to drive around/in Houston.

    Time for something better suited for driving around here.

    Why...does Houston have poor roads? I use my 991s w/7mt as a daily driver in Atlanta traffic...7,xxx + miles in 3 months so far and it has to be the best DD I have ever owned. Plenty fast, very comfortable, great fuel economy, easy to park and lots of fun to drive. Why would I want to commute in anything else?

    I sold my 997 last week :( Now I need to find an everyday car. I have been using my McLaren and F430, but it is a bit too much for everyday use at this point. I am going tomorrow to drive the Cayenne Diesel, or perhaps just get a Jeep Grand Cherokee like a certain St. Louis Native on here.

    slum it with a Grand Cherokee!

    I have to say, it's been rather nice driving a completely "incognito" (;)) car again. nobody notices yet another black mid-sized SUV.

    btw you still owe me a ride in the McLaren :)

    How about a Chris Harris half-tangent:

    Gotta love the EU mileage cycle. 45mpg for this thing.

    Great video, I imagine that he is using Imperial gallon mileage.
