I’d go with the X6M, it’s just the sort of hooligan I like, a more involving raw drivers Sport Ute. Man that seemed weird to type – a drivers sport ute, but that’s just what it is. If refined effortless speed is more your cup of tea, the Cayenne Turbo wont disappoint. In regards to whether or not owning one of these 500 hp+ SUV’s makes any sense, I pull one of my favorite quotes from a recent Road & Track for such things.

“Of course, no one needs dessert either. But it makes life better.”
