310 HP, with standard 20" wheels. I think it's kinda neat. They say in person it looks 100 times better.

Beautiful looking truck, but also keep in mind that Nissan has been coming out with different types of SUV's for years now, the item that I am interested in is the New Porche Cayenne. It is said that it is going to pack quite a wallop! wonder if it''s going to stick to the road as wel as a 911 turbo? This will be an interesting battle I think.

In a word, no. Nothing that weighs that much and has that high of a center of gravity can handle as well as something like a 911. This new craze of trying to make SUVs into sports cars (i.e. the Cayenne and X5 4.6) puzzles me. If you want good handling, get something like a 540i wagon that has as much space as an X5, and can be made to handle well. Doesn't have that "tough SUV image" though which is what of course drives sales in that segment.

Cayenne not slimming
The Cayenne is in excess of 2.5 tons, and the turbo one will wallop your wallet for $90K.
