Porsche's most powerful vehicle, the Cayenne Turbo S SUV, seats five and generates 520 horsepower, more than twice as much as some 18-ton delivery trucks. With a price tag that starts at $111,600, it also produces 378 grams of CO2 a kilometer.

``Why does an SUV need 500 horsepower?'' Wiedeking said, reading a question from a shareholder. ``Because it's a blast.''



HAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it!!

What about the top of the line Jeep which is faster? I bet it produces more emissions than the Porsche does.

Along with the new escalade, etc

That pisses me off! Its a very incosiderate thing to make an assumption of:

"For the premium car manufacturers, they will simply pass the extra costs on to their customers, who are not especially price sensitive, this shouldn't hurt their profit.''

I dont know about you but just because I have a million dollars doesnt mean Id like to save 2000 here and there. Not to mention most of us are hardly millionares.
