Everyone needs a truck but not to replace any fun car. I'm sure you're not but just checking.

I drive my 2500 HD more than any of my cars.I've often thought of getting an S7 or M3 to replace the 550 but it just sits.... Great to sit high in the truck.. I wish I could drive the RS more but this is reality.

you have an RS and a 675LT.. To me that is the ultimate..

They have a special edition that does have all that. They call it Cayenne

Guess we'll see when the next gen Cayenne comes out. Should be promising, the one in market is rather tired. He has the new Q7.

Yes, I meant the next one. Would not buy the current one - they stuck with the current old platform for way too long. Judging from the new Panamera, the next gen Cayenne should be spectacular.

Agreed. Same platform as the Q7 correct? And new Atlas?

Saw the new Discovery, compelling for sure, interior not as nice as I was expecting. But the third row is indeed usable for say less than 2-3 hrs for adults. No trunk with those seats deployed.

The panamera shooting brake concept is pretty sweet. Interesting choice between the SB and Cayenne, though I suppose different enough. Hope they don't make the SB a two seater in the rear. A killer as a family car with the need for car seats.

Panamera SB is confirmed as a 3-seater. Should be available before the new Cayenne. I may go with that. The new Q7 is great - very functional and drives well. But I also need better engine, brakes, gearbox, and interior, which pretty much makes it a cayenne. Panamera SB is even nicer, but not as durable and limiting for those few days I may need to go off-road.
