When is Porsche going to unveil the new new minivan dragster ?
My father drove it in Alabama recently at barber. He said it is incomparable to any other SUV, not really a boxster but it has more in common with a sports car than a jeep liberty or whatever.

Didn't drive it, but saw the Macan turbo. Very nice looking, but just shy of $100k. Also, the slope of the back is very steep. I think the depth is comparable to the x3, but not sure I'd appreciate the loss of height. I'd post pictures, but doesn't seem like people care.

The alternator on our Touareg recently started acting up. Turns out, it's the same alternator that the Cayanne and the Audi use.

I'm seeing a pattern. All 3 use same frames, and how many other parts?

I think VW saw good sales with Tiguan and said Audi and Porsche need to offer stages of the same.

Bentley and Lamborghini have their own SUVs on the way, maybe there will be a quality parts pool and the VW parts pool, which good be great quality as well. All I know is the only VW we have owned had transmission issues like no other car.
