I drove one, They are unreal. Same as my LTZ only so much more power and sound. Where are you located, cause if you're down south, jsut go with the two wheel drive, but naywhere else, AWD is the way to do it. I woul dhave bought it that day if they hadn't told me how much my payments would be??????!!!!!!!?????!!!!!!!! But worth every penny, if it was for me and not my wife, i ould have done it, but she doesn't need or want that power or gas mileage

The ONLY other fast(er) SUV I would consider is the Cherokee SRT 8.

Also, a Cayanne Tubo S ML63

But 0-72% on the TB SS, you can't beat it.

I LOVE mine!


Chevrolet did everything right with this one. No problems, there have been 2 very minor TSB's fixed. Not 14's, 13's stock. My 0-60 is 5.0. I'm not scared of the Porsche Cayenne S Turbo or the GC SRT-8. Will be a tight race. I took home my ride fully loaded for $34K (added a $350 tune), Porsche $111K, GC $50K.
