the cayennes interior is top notch. absolutely top notch.
its kinda ugly from the outside IMO.

anyways, even if i had the money, its not the car i´d drop the 140k they ask for the turbo here.
maybe 65k for the base one is kinda fine.. since its on the same ballpark as the monteros. but then again, a non-turbo cayenne makes little sense.

Damn people, why all the H2 hate? Then again its about as usless as a WRX.

At least you can drive a WRX faster than 45 MPH around a corner without tipping it over.

But yeah, that rally heritage is really meaningless as to the value of the vehicle, isn't it...

did julie pick hers up yet?

 

[Zark]

The H2 defines useless. Its mechanically a Tahoe, just made to look more "rugged" Its offroad capabilities are dubious, its saftey is joke, unless you buy into the "I'll squash the other guy" fallacy. Not reliable, economical. Its cargo capacity is similar to station wagon, so you can throw that out "utility" unless you tow a boat (then you should get a deisel truck anyway)

So what are we left with? A 4 wheeled poser mobile that will be stuck in the ditch if you offroaded it. A rolling penis compensator that will flip in a corner if taken half way aggressively. A tonka-truck that rips you of your cash at the pump, the mechanic's shop and the payment... This car not only defines useless it also defines how stupid "Boobous Americanus" are.

Had to vent sorry

 

[stevew]

It is a shame that the VW SUV looks better than the Porsche.

Although the reliability of the VW Touraeg makes it somewhat of a terd.

Dude I see those things up here offroading all the time. Done tried to stop in the winter and gone off road. Usually into someone else as well.

Okay, I admit it. They seem to spend a lot of time in ditches too.


N8, thank you for making me aware of the existence of that toyoter. Looks neat.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

That will NEVER happen.

 

[kidwoo]

That will NEVER happen.

You insist on driving it first?

Sorry sir, we both don't care for that car.

Same as a honda civic. Rally? Whats rally?

 

[caputo1989]

I love my land cruser.
Kick the H2 and Porsche's ass off road.

 

[kidwoo]

Sorry sir, we both don't care for that car.

Car?

I thought we were talking about H2s.

Just out of curiosity, you ever sit in one of those things? A friend of mine has one and I got to drive it around to a different parking space. I'm kind of short and all but I may have run over a horse and not seen it. Hard to say.

On a sidenote though, if I had kids I'd probably be into one. Not for safety or anything delusional like that, more because if they sat in the back, it's far enough away, I probably couldn't hear them.

 

[Jabuttri]

The porche would be a blast on a dirt road. the H2 is just a big ugly box

Oh, I thought we were talking about a subi, Julie does want one, but have never driven one personally. I do like the Escalades

 

[maxyedor]

Lets see H2 is about $53,000, my Rover (lightly used) was $10,500 that leaves about $42,500 to go to spend on bikes, booze, Camera gear, and women. What a deal! I do like the Cayenne, if only I had so much money that I couldn't think of anything better to do with it.

Actually, that $42,500 will come in mighty handy for repairs to a Rover.

 

[formermtboarder]

i rode in a toreg w-12 in austria
the guy driving hit 265km/h (about 165mph)...
needless to say it was sweet

 

[OGRipper]

Meh. As between the two I would rather own the Porshe.

But I would keep my exisiting Cherokee, trick it out for rock crawling, and get a fast convertible and some more bikes with the rest of the dough.

And as a Jeep owner let me just say for the record that the Liberty is L-A-M-E. I heard someone say that ugly POS was supposed to replace the cherokee. What a joke.

Ya I have had to change the oil ove FIVE times. What a peice of crap!

i hope to god that never happens. i have a grand cherokee now, and a cherokee before that (both red laredos, crazy huh?) and they both are kick ass SUVs for sure.

 

[DirtyDog]

Are you kidding me? Thw WRX is exactly the opposite of the H2. Its a car that is DAMN GOOD at what it was built for and costs far less then all the competition.

The H2 costs a lot more than anything in its class and it doesn't outclass anything - even vehicles half its price.

 

[Thrillkil]

H2 sux. The H1 is where it's at

 

[N8 v2.0]

I love this little suv!


2005 prototype:

Now available!!!!

 

[skinny mike]

ive seen it in person and it didnt exactly look little.

 

[RhinofromWA]

It is a cute vehicle but what is witht he rear tail lights? It seams out of place sticking out like that. Wierd.

Is that black one yours? How do you like the half doors for the rear seat?

 

[N8 v2.0]

ive seen it in person and it didnt exactly look little.

no kidding.... its taller than my 4Runner and damn near as long and definately wider looking!


*edit: not my FJ but i am getting an '08!!!


Here's another one:

 

[Bicyclist]

H2s blow. The Cayanne turbo is sick, it kept up with an M3 on a road track in some test I read about. Plus, as BV said, with tires/wheels on a regular one it'd be a rocket off road.

 

[N8 v2.0]

I agree about H2's...

But a Toyota FJ Retro Cruiser is kick-buttocks.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

No less then 3 FJ's in my company's parking lot on a daily basis. It was on my short list of new vehicles to get, but.... They are still selling for MSRP, and the gas guzzling big v6 is how they are being purchased

Yeah.. that 4.0L is nice.

 

[llkoolkeg]

I see at least one of those Porsches every day in Hunt Valley on Shawan Road. I wouldn't turn it down if one was offered me, but for the same amount of money, I'd rather buy two more modest new cars.

 

[Konabumm]

I like the H2 - It's a great off-road vehicle.

 

[N8 v2.0]

I like the H2 - It's a great off-road vehicle.

But it's no Toyota!

 

[Konabumm]

I know alot of you bash hummer because of it fuel usage but they are working on something better for the future.

They have produced a working Hydrogen Model called the H2H

H2H Hydrogen Tank

 

[Konabumm]

But it's no Toyota!

Gotta say - I'm not the biggest fan. But I'm glad you like it

 

[jacksonpt]

I like the H2 - It's a great off-road vehicle.

yea, if you have a trail the size of a parking lot to drive it down. Those things are just too damn big for trail use, at least the trails around here.

 

[jacksonpt]

I know alot of you bash hummer because of it fuel usage but they are working on something better for the future.

true, the mpg does suck, but I bash it because it's a piece of crap... a cheapened GM.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I know alot of you bash hummer because of it fuel usage but they are working on something better for the future.

And it'll use more hydrogen than any other hydrogen vehicle out there! Well done, GM.

 

[binary visions]

My little Toyota Tacoma (before they resized them) was about the perfect size for New England trails, but even at that an extra little bit off the length would have been no bad thing. I had times where I had to close the rear view mirrors against the side of the truck to fit between trees - getting a bigger vehicle to a lot of places my Tacoma went would have been impossible.
