I have a 1976 Jeep CJ-5 with a healthy V8 engine, winch, and canoe rack. It
carries hi-lift jacks, dead-man anchors, come-alongs, axes, shovels, chains,
and tow straps for those moments of indiscretion that get me stuck. It will
get me and my stuff most anywhere one has any business taking a vehicle
although not with lots of comfort. I paid $2000 for it in 1990 and was
recently offered $6000 for it. It has enough power to scare the shit out of
me but I don't like to drive it over about 60 mph. It also has two built-in
camera supports to shoot out each side of the rig. The best thing is the
fact that my grandkids love to ride in it. I also see no need to spend 55 to
90 thou for a fun toy (ahem, camera support).

That could be, don't know. But if you break down the Cayenne Turbo's
($88,900) specs and compare those one after another to what Jeep offers
with the Overland ($37,600) one would, in my estimation, need to have 1)
unlimited funding and/or 2) an absolute fetish for all things Porsche to
even consider this purchase.
