If you "need" a suv, don't get the RR. I'm so glad I got out of mine (although I still think they are one of the best looking SUVs around)

I have a G550 and a 996 Turbo, and if I didn't have the Turbo to drive, I'd be pretty unhappy. Having just the SUV isn't the same at all.

 

My dad uses his TT as a DD. Only on REALLY bad weather days does he not drive it.

 

I wasn't looking for the Range Rover to replace my 997tt. the thought of trading in the turbo and having my DD paid off has some appeal. I would lease a RR but the residual on these are so low now it didn't seem to make much sence to spend $60+k on a 39 month lease when the vehicle is only $85k. I do like the new 2011 Canyenne Turbo. that's the other vehicle i was considering. it's a little small but not terrible. maybe i need to go drive one again.

 

dump your escalade for a range rover supercharged.... you won't be disappointed
we've had a couple of range rovers throughout the years and never major problems. that's what confuses me when people say they can be a nightmare from a service perspective. i guess we just lucked out....

 

There is nothing about the Range Rover that i find appealing . Even less appealing is the Escalade (with ghetto styling it looks like a refrigerator on wheels) .

I have yet to understand why out of every SUV on the road I notice Range Rover drivers consistently tailgating and showing impatience .

The Cayenne Turbo is one of the most refined SUV's on the road . Making the switch from the 997 Turbo and needing daily driving ability with just one vehicle my vote would actually go to the Panamera Turbo . It has the best of all worlds .
The snag with Porsche is that the lease programs are awful in my opinion.

If two vehicles are the answer and having is the route of your choice then I don't think there is any value that can compete with the BMW lease deals .

 

thanks for all your responses. Think i'll just hang onto TT for now as a DD till something else excites me. I still smile every time i get in turbo

 

If you must SUV..............Cayenne TT or X5M.
