Statman.. Statman.. you're a brother in Cayenne-dude-ness.. but, the above would still fit the term as "green" or "tree-hugging". Read some of those posts I've made with sanity from the other side..... you're a smart guy.. make an informed decision... i.e. look at the economics of "green" and come over to the dark side! You know you want to drive a fuel PIG for many more years to come!

Whoops, I think I had one too many of the purple stuff

Why didn't you cut me off MadFox?!?

I edited my last sentence and then got my "latter" and "former" reversed from their intended positions.

My statment was actually that given a far better performing vehicle versus one that has inferior performance, but is more environmentally friendly, I would in all likelihood choose the FORMER over the LATTER.

To provide a real-world example, I am being convinced in some ways that a 2008 CTT may be a better option for me than a 2006 CTTS. Why? Because they have about equivalent performance, but the 2008 gets better MPG!

Good bartenders let customers drink until they can't drive.. then order a taxi!

Okay, okay.. you're covering your tracks.. but I still need to convert as many as I can to the dark side on "inconvenient truths" after Melissa and Al won Oscars for bad science, bad math, being fat and both kissing their "wife" disgustingly on national TV!

OK, you can all feel better by buying the upcoming Cayenne Hybrid.
There, problem solved.

That is the perfect solution...except for one thing: I can't even begin to imagine the electrical gremlins on the alpha year model of that beast.

Trust me, you don't want to know. I don't know WTF they were thinking. Makes me glad I bought the Ford Hybrid.
