each to their own??

 

[nitro_2003]

yeah but i wouldnt call a 4x4 a supercar,would you?

 

[-Fred-]

Maybe it's the super car site, not the supercar site?

 

[LoudMusic]

Gee, that's super.

What's VW doing making sport utes anyway? Damnit I hate the rules of supply and demand. People want something so car manufacturers make it. People should be TOLD what to like. They should be TOLD that sport utes are baaaaad. Two seater convertibles are what we all need! (:

I didn't need to be told that, I already knew it,

From what I read, the VW Toureg is based of the Porsche Cayenne.

Actually you have that backwards my friend. The Touareg is the base for the Porsche.

Who would the nOObs be btw? Last I checked neither Porsche nor VW have ever made a SUV, on top of that, when did Porsches start making cars?

i dunno, to be honest i don't really care. but wasn't vw's first car designed by ferdinand porsche? (and commissioned by hitler? )

 

[miata13B]

I could care less who funded the dam thing, but Let's see here, the nOOb is Porsche. Vw = first (even designed by Porsche) Porsche = second. Thus proving your ->

lol, ok!

 

[Frustrated Palm]

I remember when Jeep was the only one that had more than 3 SUV's in their lineup (since that's all they make) and the rest had only 1 or 2...

Hey guys,
You can call a 4x4 a super car, A few examples :
1986-87 porsche 959.
1986-today Nissan Skyline GT-R
late 90's porsche 911 S4
1988-Today Audi RS4,RS6,major super cars,and more and more .So YES you can call a 4x4 a SUPER CAR

 

[The Porko]

Correct me if im wrong but arent the porsche 959, Skyline GTR and 911 S4 all All wheel drive not a 4x4.

Okay, How about the Cayenne?
It shares a basic platform with the Taureg.

 

[rollazn]

Cayenne is fast.. wasnt it like the fastest suv ever, or something. The Infinti FX45 is also a very fast suv.. 15.0 at 1/4 is blazing fast if you ask me. Anyways SUV are nice but yeah i guess you can call it a supercar if you want to.

That suits me fine. Pass all the Porshce's with any kind of 4WD in my direction.

 

[The Porko]

u can pass any porsche period in my direction

 

[boombexus]

I like the Toureg, but WTF is up with the size of the VW emblem on it. It's HUGE!

It's for the private copters to use as a landing beacon.
Besides, since the Type IV (breadloaf bus) went away there's been nothing in the line with a huge-gantic V-dub Emblem.

huh? what's the difference between all wheel drive and 4x4 in ur opinion??

 

[The Porko]

4x4 are cars they are able to go offroad and u are able to change between 2 wheel drive mode and 4 wheel drive mode without doing a little trick like the gtrs.

I'm not a big fan of SUVs but I may have to make an exception for the Cayenne Turbo. In a test in a UK car mag, Evo, a Cayenne Turbo lapped a circuit as quickly as an E46 M3. A 4x4 that weighs more than two tons equaling a time set by a performace car is pretty impressive. What really clinched it for me though was this picture.......
