That is a fantastic collection, man. You have some sweet rides in your stable. And also, the stable itself is very pretty, I must say!! I'm glad someone here finally owns a Passat, infact i'm glad its your daily drive. If you dont mind I shall PM you witha few queries on your ownership experience. Unless of course you have already posted in the Ownership Experiences section of the forum. Keep them coming !!

The Chayenne is just plain sexy!
The interiors are to die for...
But the price of 80 OTR seems a little too much, not sure about current pricing, but a friend of mine had the old gen Chayenne S, and it cost in the high 70s or something around there...

Driven the S I mentioned. It is just sooooo good on the road, definately a superb DD!
cheers:

Congrats on your new SUV V10 and you are right-Cayenne for sure is the best handling SUV around.Why not a V8 though (S or the newer GTS which is almost as good as the turbo) if you are already spending that much money? Sub 300 hp for car this heavy is bit less if you ask me. Is it difficult to manage with a smaller spare in India and avoid the tire holder ?

Just one question with regard to the Cayenne. Is it possible to lift the tailgate without having to swing open the spare tire holder? If it is not, then how do you manage to load things into the boot area when there's a car parked right behind you (as in the case of parallel parkings)?
thanks. no it is not possible to lift the tailgate without having to swing open the tire holder. yes in case4 of parallel parkings there would be a problem.

thanks. well i test drove the new V6 before buying one and i was impressed with the performance. it is good enough for our roads ( 0 - 60 mph in 7.5 is nice ) . besides the GTS is one suv which is NOT meant for our roads at all. i'd be surprised to see a gts here because of the steel springs , stiffened suspension , 21 inch wheels, lowered body, sports seats in hot weather etc. etc.

and as for the spare tire. we got it for 2 reasons. one being that it is far more practical in case of a puncture. second being that it looks soo much better and butch and gives the car a more solid and manly look.; however there are people who have not taken the wheel behind.

In the interest of all members in this forum, I have one suggestion to make. There is only one way forward as I see it now. Members, let us all compel v10 and liv2drv to engage in cut-throat competition. Whoever touches a hundred exotics first, wins! The winner will, in gratitude towards this fantastic suggestion, have to let T-bhp'ians infest his garage every weekend. May the best man win!

I totally agree with that v10. The rear looks far better and the car overall, more agressive with the rear wheel on. Good choice!

There is a white Cayenne GTS in Delhi. Spotted it near New Friends Club area, had dark black tints and it had that red light on top of it which the government officials use. It had another government car following it. It was gorgeous. But i like your Cayenne a lot as it is good enough for our Indian roads.

Yeah.. Ferrari' in UK.. Remember that.. He has a great collection all over the world.

But don't leave me out just yet.. Still 18 and possessing the LP, Flying Spur and getting the 430 _and_ RR LWB by year end, does put me in a "strong" position to be one of the contenders.

Add to that the upcoming R8 "S" line, AMV8, 998 series 911 ( or even the GT1 if it is launched by the time I starting looking for one) and the LP560 and others.

Also considering the AM V12 which is to be launched. In the US (L.A to be precise ) my younger brother has the 911 Carrera S and the RS4 at his disposal. Add to that the McLaren SLR and CGT that I would buy once I go there for post grads and the Buggatti for use in Dubai.
