What would you call what they were doing with the Cayenne?

As for merc 55 - how can you compare when you can only get it in automatic, how boring.

I believe the new Viper for 2004 has grown up quite a bit. HP, Handling and, Interior finish. It is no long the cheap plastic fit and finish of previous years. It is now a class act.
I still would not have one over my 996 or a newly done front engine V8 Porsche but, I think taking a Boxster S over a Viper would be a bit of a stretch for me.
