        Was thinking of an RS4 Avant.  We have the van for big wood….

        I own an S4 Avant. It's a very good way of getting from A to B with stuff quickly, and great to live with on a day to day basis, especially on poor roads in the winter.

          The only Porsche I would consider is a 911 of some sort.  And don't need something as large as a 6….I need to be sensible  ::)

          Are there any other Porsche then 911?

          I don't see you in any of the cars mentioned before. Keep your Landy and buy an old 911…

                  In the United States, it seems like the only vehicles Porsche makes are the Cayenne and the occasional Macan.

                    @chris - I think you mean”those are the only ones 45 year old women in Texas  buy”

                    My dad had a 997 911 - total POS. It was so bad my mom wouldn’t even look at the Macan S when she was looking for a zippy crossover.

                    However, my grandfather left the family his 964 Cab4 when he passed and that is a dream.

                      Exactly.

                      Well, I have others.

                        On most days of the year the Porsche SUVs are the predominant models on german streets too, the historic 911s that arent conserved in some underground parking lot are mostly coming out on a sunny summer sunday three times a year  😃

                          Looks like I had my models reversed. According to Porsche's own sales figures, the Macan was nearly 42% of US sales. Add in the Cayenne, and the total rises to almost 60%. That's a lot more than just middle aged Texas women.

                          Besides, around here, the vehicle of choice for that socioeconomic bracket is either a Tahoe or an Escalade. Which is worse, I readily admit.

                                I'm going to strongly disagree with you there @Chris.  I prefer more understated colors, I like the design language of the car to speak for itself.  Case in point:

                                    Well, @Appfaff, you do have two very small children. A vehicle the size of Rhode Island is vital.

                                    And @Clint_D- nope, I still think the one in red right beside it looks better.

                                        I could.  But the bottom line is I do not need a van, a Landy and a 3rd car.  Landy and 3rd car being traded for something else….

                                          you guys keep talking about these tahoe, yukon, escalade or suburban like it's so normal and common. i'm dying to see it become normal here is australia. i'll gladly have an escalade or an f150..

                                          you guys have got all the good stuff like a silverado or f series trucks.. that stuff costs more than double to import and get it RHD converted here in australia..

                                            Light trucks were 70% of US auto sales last year. Ford announced that it's going to stop making cars for the domestic market, and GM is cutting nearly as much of its car production. Fiat Chrysler started moving away from cars a couple of years ago and said it was because of a permanent shift in the market.

                                            So yeah, it's normal here. Not good IMO, but normal.
