I for one thought they were gonna have a long-running hit on their hands with the Corrado and it failed. Seemed so right (to me) with the V-6 platform.

Nah, just more plastic water pump internals...
Not a BMW fan, but I'd go 2-series first. 2 door hatches are out though: Veloster, C30, GTI, etc.

Yikes! Honda CRZ II?

Back in the early 90s I worked at a restaurant and the bartender drove a new Corrado. I begged him to take me for a ride in it and after a few months he finally said yes. I think his goal was to scare the crap out of me so I wouldn’t ask him again. Boy did that backfire. Cool, quick, well handling little car. That and the Buick GNX my uncle had were two of my most favorite cars growing up.

Cool so they were loved cars for the most part. I scoped buying a new one at the time and I remember the leather interior was super nice. Rumor I heard was same source as Lambo leather and this was well before the acquisition. Might be a fun build car.

I'd much rather have the G-wagen than the stupid Urus.

I saw a G Wagen the other day that made me laugh. Super low profile tires on oversized rims, plus a carbon fiber snorkel.

Low profile tires on any off road vehicle is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever.

I look at G wagons the same way I do Range Rovers in that I'm fairly certain that 99.8% of people that buy them will never turn off a paved road. In that light, who cares what the wheels (yes, wheels...not "rims" #grammarpolice) and tires are setup like?

I see Urus’s locally and if I were a baller it would be on my list of possible daily drivers. Thing looks pretty sweet in the flesh.

What’s just bananas is that there are 1+ year long wait lists for both of those.

Urus is strictly a flex piece. That’s why just about all of them are in loud colors. You can save over a hundred grand by getting a Cayenne Turbo S. It’s just as fast. Or the Turbo S e-hybrid would be even better…that thing can go 20+ miles on EV power. Or just mash your foot down and smoke just about anything lesser than a Hellcat.

Almost every G Wagen I see is piloted by a suburban housewife on her way to yoga or kids' soccer.

Yep strictly a flex piece and for that the Cayenne is simply too ugly. It’s like a 4 on the looks scale where the Urus is an 8.
For that type of vehicle it wouldn’t matter to me which one is faster but I suspect the Urus can hold its own when it comes to handling. Of course speaking as someone who knows nothing more than what they look like.
