The original poster did comment on it.He liked it but wasn't what he is looking for. Isn't the Cayenne a SUV too. For the Cherokee being ugly you need to get your eyes checked. All the Porsche is a dressed up VW TOUREG and even that is nicer looking.

Okay guys I may end up looking like a huge *** here...

Porsche approved me but not at the promised rate from yesterday. Payments shot up a couple hundred which is not what I was expecting. He says he's still working on it, but honestly from my point of view it doesn't look good...

I don't know...I wouldn't be heartbroken over the whole ordeal I mean it's not like I had my heart set on it. I'd be perfectly fine driving the cars I have now and trying this again at a later date.

We'll see how things unfold throughout the day...

Not that you don't have nice cars to begin with so you wouldn't be missing out. What they are probably trying to do is they're giving you good on your trade so they are playing with interest rates to make up the difference.

latest news:

Porsche called me today on my lunch break and got the interest and monthly payment even lower than originally promised...

HOWEVER: They're asking for an additional 1800 down. I dunno...still contemplating...

I liked them when they came out but now I dunno. I really now do not like alot of pricey cars every thing is so very expensive. I remeber a family friend who had a porsche the clutch cost 6g's to have changed. At what point do some of us say we can buy a cheaper car and make it better or buy an expensive car and struggle to keep it on the road. Btw I ma not saying you can not afford it....by any means if you qualify for a loan for one you are golden but imo its just impractical. Besides suv's eat gas are heavy and handle like boats you would prolly hate it after a while especially going from a handle machine.

The deed is done.



The RX-8 will be sorely missed. I will always be a rotor head, but as mentioned I needed more space and one sports car was enough. I think this will serve me well as both business and sporty SUV...and add to the prestige. Thanks for all your input.

well as you all know I love rotary. it's an amazing design. I will always be a rotor head, hell I still have all my 13B manuals lying around. BUT...if I'm going to have a sports car AND an SUV, then I wanted to keep the purest sports car of the two. This way I can have two totally different experiences from each of the vehicles in my stable.

Plus, I've only had the S2K for a few months...had the RX-8 for about two years.

I'm not mad. it's a love it or hate it, personally I think it's great...you gotta see it in person...looks black from most angles, green up front.

It was nostalgic for me, because i had a british racing green triumph spitfire when I was in highschool.

strangely enough porsche considers sit a special color and charges an additional 895 for it.

Actually I really like that color on the Cayenne, I think it looks really cool. Was following this post to see your decision and I was surprised you stuck with the s2k as well.

can you take a clear picture of the steering wheel/gauges. I cannot find any and I have to show my girlfriend how ugly the steering wheels is for such a nice expensive vehicle (no offense but its a nasty shape lol) since she doesnt believe me.

the orange steering wheel looks like an aftermarket, it looks weird w/o the logo. the tan/grey one looks a billion times hotter!
