The Jeep versus Porsche comparison exactly defines what snob appeal is worth, about $80k. As we all know, when design and performance reach a certain limit, further refinements come at an exponential cost. To most, it's not worth it. To a few, it's the only way to go. It's not an economical decision to buy the Porsche, but snob appeal never is.

Drove a black (arguably its most complimentary color) AWD TBSS with leather interior today, giving it another chance to win my favor. Really wanted to like it, as I think it has more utility. But its a no go. Looking at it didnt excite me, the exterior just looks like a TrailBlazer with big chromies. The interior just came off as cobbled together and trying too hard. I couldn't put my finger on any one thing, its the whole effect. A cheezy looking and feeling steering wheel, too many disconnected angles in the dash, mediocre seats with marginal quality leather. The performance is probably its strong point, good acceleration and handling without a jarring ride or droning exhaust. But the whole package didnt seem as integrated as my '93 GMC Typhoon. So its back to the SRT8 which is a headturner and an E-ticket and my wife will just have to complain about the ride, like she does in the Typhoon (or I'll ditch the runflats when they wear out).

You are keeping the Typhoon, right? How many miles on it?

Just bought an 08 and was wondering if anyone has been successful with programming additional horsepower, and overall comments with the SS models in general.
 
Thanks,
