When it came out in 2004 it wasn't. This is a facelift. Ford and the domestics do it every year or so on their cars. Are you calling the recently facelifed F-series trucks an abortion, wrong car wrong time? Seriously, you've surely got to say that about a good 90% of the SUV/Trucks out there.

How this thing can be compared to Lexus, Acura or Infinity for same amount? No wonder I see very few of them on the road. I though they all imported to Kazakhstan. TomF, nailed it.

I don't like the styling either, but that's another story all to itself... needmoreoilforgm- I'm guessing they should go buy a loaded Equinox then, right? Or maybe a Caddy.

When it costs $80 to fill the tank, the only people rich (and shameless) enough to blow that kind of money on fossil fuel don't want a damn Volkswagen in their driveway.

It's the only way to go. I get 19/14 in the V8. Not sure how they were managing that poor of numbers in the V6. 3.6 FSI is too little engine in this heavy of a car. It has one of the nicest interiors in the industry. Comparison shopped this and the Acura MDX. The nightmare center-stack and lack of V8 pushed me to the VW. I've had ZERO problems in 2 years with it for the Consumer Reports readers in the crowd. I’ve got one with the 4.2 FSI V8. It’s the only way to go. I get 19/14 in the V8.

Nothing about the platform or structural sheetmetal has changed at all. Competitors do NOT include the X3 or the Highlander. Maybe you meant the X5? Highlander, ummm can't help you on that one. And that you think the Cayenne is better looking puts everything else into proper perspective. Wow. I hope you have a day job.
