Touareg vs Cayenne, aka duh?

[Brady Moffatt]

Didn't BMW stuff an LMP engine in an X5 and run around the Nurburgring? Same
deal, except Porsche put it into production!

So the Cayenne Turbo is fast, very fast even. But a Cayenne with a VW engine
producing a little more than 1/2 the power of the Turbo, and selling for the
same price as a 310HP-Audi-V8-equipped Touareg is a recipe for, well, at the
very least, threads like this. And I think it will get worse. But maybe I'm
overestimating the intelligence of the average SUV buyer......again.

Cheers,
Brady

Isn't the Cayenne Turbo like #8 on all-time fastest production vehicles
to circle The Ring? Call it anything you want, but it's apparently fast,
as in *sick* fast.
