There has never been a Porsche that did anything for me in the looks department. And the Cayenne isn't anything to write home about in that regard either if you ask me. Everybody and their second cousin is out with an SUV now, and most aren't anything special. I think Porsche joining the fray was tacky, but I'll give 'em this - it will scoot in a field of mostly underpowered sport-utes. Actually a lot of them like the CRV, Vitara and RAV-4 don't qualify as sport-utes in my view, but...

I also think the Infiniti is real ugly. I go by a dealership with them daily and it sure isn't growing on me. Sorry, but that's just me. I would never buy something I thought was ugly just for the name on it. I'm not someone who is purely after a status symbol and the heck with the rest. Nuh uh. I have to like it. Me. What the rest of you think it looks like, cost me, or whatever is very secondary.

I liked the RSC on looks. It was too busy... needed just a little toning down. I expect that in concepts though.

I do like the Murano from some angles, don't like the front too much. But I am probably in the same boat with you in that if there were not VehiCrosses I would not be in a SUV right now.
