What happend to the M motto, "no form without function" They need to stick with coupes and sedans. No way an SUV will ever handle as well.
Have you driven an 08+ Cayenne Turbo with PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control)? The driving experience is UNREAL. You truly cannot believe you are behind the wheel of a 2.5 ton SUV. It handles like a 911 NO JOKE. Go look at the handling figures for the 08 Cayenne Turbo with PDCC you'll see it can outhandle an E46 M3...The numbers don't lie.

If the ///M X5 & ///M X6 can perform similarly then i'll be glad to have the ///M badge on it cause then it'll truly deserve it!
