Just because...
1. Your design never change for 30 years and you’re called “Classic”?
2. You’re tank-like tough and bipolar so you are “Desirable”?
3. You’re a little exclusive and harder to get so you’re “Special”?
4. You’re powerful with a 563hp V8 AMG so you can handled reckless with poor steering feel and can’t drive straight?
5. You’re heavy so you can have huge body roll and corners slower?
6. You’re hand built so that makes you better than other vehicles built by robots?
I have to blame Oliver and Mr Orange, for infusing poison in me.
I’m trying very hard to like you but I’m resisting, resisting because it doesn’t make sense comparing the way it drives.
I’m so confused why anyone will buy one over other fun and sportier SUV like the Porsche S or Turbo or luxurious, off-road capable Range Rover Supercharged?
Any good reasons?

I like it.
Quite a bit. But you buy it only if you are genuinely crazy about it. Nice shots. Cheers, Filip
I'm liking it too, and that's dangerous 😂
To the wallet...and some will say, YOLO.

Thanks for the insights....that tank looks awesome and will become instant collector's item.
From reading the 1st paragraph, it does appear the others are going away slowly so better order one

Yes, either love it or hate it. That's very appropriate for this beast. [nt]

I‘m not a Merc fan at all but if you want to go for an iconic SUV, that‘s it. Period.

I want one...
Just because it looks so cool...
I concur, the Porsche Cayenne is easier to drive. Having driven the Cayenne Turbo for a few days, I really enjoyed the car. RPMs are too low in 8th gear at 100 kph (62 mph) so the car has a lot of vibration/harshness when you want to speed up. Press the gas a little harder and make it downshift into 7th to reduce this problem. The Cayenne's braking is also superlative.
I haven't lived with the G-wagen for any period of time, but I can tell you in the short time I have I noticed the car had a lot of wind noise at highway speeds.
I did have a GL63 AMG for a couple days which was superlative in every way except for braking. Pads were a little soft, you could tell that those pads would have a short life cycle.
Oh, I found a problem with that G63. It's missing the flat bottom steering wheel because it has a heated steering wheel (which requires a normal steering wheel). Can't get that one!

I am driving quite a lot of high ways and also in miserable conditions.
Lapland in the winter and we need to cross 1 km of a muddy field when going to the farm (will built a road next year). I tried most of the high quality SUV and ended buying a Cayanne S with V8 diesel engine.
Porsche is great on high ways, top speed of 252 km/h is enough and that car is amazingly capable on muddy fields, off-road and in snowy conditions. My 2 2nd choice was Range Rover but it sucks on high ways; especially when it is windy.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my SUVs will never see any off-road, like many US owners....
It’s mostly city driving or highway cruising.
Good to know you chose the Porches for those reasons and it performed to your expectations.

Last week i took ...
... a Mercedes GL 350 diesel with 258 hp out on the Autobahn. Topspeed is supposed to be 225 kph which felt like cruising in my sofa. Downhill i was able to take it easily up to 246 but the Skoda in front of me couldn't go any faster, still it felt rock soild glued to the road.
I never expected a SUV to be this good at high speeds, there was offcourse more wind noise compared to my BMW 120 at speeds up to 200 kph, thats the price you pay for driving a high SUV ..... unless you pay premium for a Bentayga i suppose

I have been totally happy with my Cayenne also on highways.
I would say that a good SUV is as good to drive as a good sedan.
Best, Kari
Me too, no complaints on my Cayenne S...SUVs are really that good by Porsche. [nt]

Got it.
I was a little concerned about the long-term reliability with Range Rover and although I haven't driven one, I imagined it would drive more like a truck and I want an SUV that will drive with the stability of a car. My normal vehicle is a Mercedes V8 sedan. So something that requires as little of a learning curve would be nice.
If there is any sense in you: buy a Range Rover.
If you want to buy an classy icon:
Buy a Defender (or Range Rover)
If you want to intimidate other road users: get the G
Oh and I forgot something: YOLO!

Between your i8 and this one, that would be a true ecological splits 😁

That right, then Electric car owners should get the G65 AMG ...
To offset their savings from gasoline, balance the carbon footprint 😜
