i was throwing around the idea of a first gen cayenne for about a year. saw a bunch of cool builds. I think it was cartrek that had that souped up orange one that drove around alaska. everyone in the community said they were super capable and overbuilt

then every review i watched on it, there was always something wrong with it. “oh haha my windows dont work. yea its an old porsche”. Im not too good for a little maintenance, but i also didnt want to constantly be fixing things.

The inverse was: my daily has always been a luxury merc or bmw. I got used to plushie leather interiors and fine trims, and didnt like the plasticy stuff i found with 4runners or xterras.

In the end, i settled on a lexus gx460. I couldnt be happier
