For the price of that, I'll settle on a Viper. Sorry.

It looks sorta like the albino offspring of a Cooper that got raped by a RAV4. I'm not knocking the way it looks, just stating the obvious.

With that engine, it's AWD capabilities, and it's pricetag, I still doubt you'll ever see one of these driven by someone who bought it for it's performance and abilities package. It will be men reaching their midlife crisis stages who are looking to stand their ground on the social ladder of our culture.

I would like to see this perform in a rally though. It looks as though it could really offer some good competition. That is, if a racing team has enough bank to actually take this pricey vehicle and add more money to it. We shall see.

I am all for sporty SUVs.... onroad or offroad. I just don't see where 500hp is gonna come in very handy in the states on public highways. These are the words from one, who has enough points on his license from a V6 VX, to have his license suspended anyways.
