I mean ... it looks very BIG. So. Not surprised at the cost.

Yeah, sure honey.

Let’s see your Toyota Sienna pull a 4-stall horse trailer at 60mph (5,000lbs) filled with another 3,000lbs of horses, up a 4% mountain pass, at 6,000ft elevation.

If it can, I’ll GIVE you my farm!


No one gives 2 craps about your horses.


On the contrary, lots of the people you’ll work for your whole life care a great deal about horses.


I went to a steeplechase in Loudoun via a friend whose family has horses (not wealthy at all just MC/UMC) and seriously thought I was in some type of UK version of a colonial Williamsburg re-enactment. Horse people are probably the most ridiculous "landed old money gentry" costume cosplayers I've ever seen in my life.

Little bit? A new full size Range Rover is probably $50,000 more. Totally different league.

I cannot relate to some people's valuation of cars. These are all so ugly. The bigger, the uglier.

I just spent that much on my child's instrument, so I'm not poor. But a car would have to be much more streamlined and elegant for me to pay such a sum.


This has got to be the most DCUM flex ever.

Ironically, those small Porsche SUVs were an intentional cash grab to subsidize the cars that the company actually wants to produce.


This. Their bestselling car because it's "affordable" and has the Porsche name. But no way you're getting kids, much less kid stuff, in a Macan.

Like everything it depends where it’s parked. If you live in a mediocre neighborhood it’s tacky. If you live in a $4 million mansion and own a beach house, it signals you’re rich with a bunch of travel sports playing kids or grandkids.

The pedestrian is almost always at fault in fatal vehicle accidents involving a pedestrian.


And for that they deserve to die? Vehicles can be better designed so that pedestrians don't die.

The Denali is a nice car. But there is another trim for the Yukon now that is higher end. It costs about 100k. Fittingly called the ultimate.

No, many buy new cars for safety & reliability & warranty protection; plus,during the current supply chain caused shortage, ordering a new car can cost the same or even a bit less than a recent low mileage readily available new car.

This is not a luxury SUV and like all the other cars, this is way overpriced right now.
