I've been looking into a new Durango R/T, leather seats, 2nd row captains chair, Nav/back up camera, tow package, and of course the Hemi. Sounds great but gas mileage isn't the best, but we can tow anything or throw just about anything not it. I got two quotes for $36K.

The other car I was looking at....don't laugh or think I'm crazy is the new Elantra limited. Fully loaded, leather, Nav, back up camera, it's kinda roomy too. Not roomy like a Durango but all four of us can get in and be comfy. Quoted $24K.

What do you guys think? Get a used Porsche Cayenne Turbo?
If you feel like paying out the @ss for parts and maintenance, a Cayenne would be nice.

If you want to move four adults easily, why not consider a turbodiesel? (I know, it's probably just as or more expensive than other German cars, lol).

Or get a G37. Maybe with all wheel drive (G37x), maybe with a sports package (G37xS, G37S). Course, any Infiniti with AWD has no manual gearbox option.
