If Jaguar puts the 550 hp supercharged V8 into this puppy and charges less than 100k for it, it could be my next family car. Otherwise...no thanks.
Same thoughts here!
But - It might be to small - have to see it in flesh.
Yesterday I sold my 991 winter tires to a friend. I was bringing them to him with the Jeep. I could easily fit the full pair of 19" 991 Tyre set into the trunk of my Grand Cherokee. Not many other SUVs will be able to to that - this was impressive, no seat folding, just the trunk!).
The Grand Cherokee is great when it comes to luggage or transporting people but I have to admit that I got a little bit bored with the truck. It isn't agile enough to remind me of a sports car (though it is much more agile than my wife's former X3 35d and it surely feels pretty agile for a 2.5 t truck), the Cayenne is much better with that and on the Autobahn, when I pass 160 or 180 kph, the speed increase is quite slow, making it a problem to shake off some high power Diesel station wagons (I succeed but slowly).
The Macan Turbo is better with Autobahn performance and agility but it is boring as hell.
Right now, I would get a Range Rover Sport SVR, a Cayenne Turbo or Turbo S, a BMW X5 M (yes, not really sounding great but fast as hell) or a Mercedes G63 AMG.
However, for the money the GC costs me, it is unbeatable.
