Ferrari and Porsche have no NEED to build things like those you list above. They merely prostitute that which they once stood for--high-performance GTs, snappy roadsters, the best or nothing. Now, they build mammywagons and trucks and 4-door sedans for the wealthy-yet-aged, simply because they can sell them. Aye, business be business, but it's still a tragedy to see once-proud manufacturers building such things.

Now, if you please, tell me more about how handsome a BMW Malevolent Toad GT is in comparison to a Porsche Cayenne. It's very much like a comparison between Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Barr, yesno?

The Cayenne is actually quite capable not really a fan of the redux as it has lost some of the detail of the original, i.e. GTS. New Interior is excellent though. Turbo is fast!

The GT is distinctive in its own right. For me it was more about the function, although I am not adverse to its looks either. Some people like myself need additional space, and wish to allow their passengers to ride in comfort as well. No other vehicle in BMW's entire lineup has more rear legroom (save LWB F02 7 Series) than the GT. Matter of fact the GT is actually an F01 7 series right down to the wheel base dimensions. In essence the GT is a 7 series with a hatch, at a discount.

So yes, my passengers can kick back, watch a movie while I let 573 ft/Lbs of Torque dispatch - and move us past - the occaisional 335xi driving curmudgeon
