    He was supposed to speak at the NADA Convention in San Francisco last year, but cancelled last minute because of an "emergency fundraiser." Isn't that the same excuse the governor used in the movie Super Troopers? Way to be original, Arnold.


    But it's nice to see him actually showing up for something.

    Gov. Schwarzenegger, in returning to his homeland, immediately set out looking for ways to bring business back to California. The man just never stops trying to make California better, does he?

    It will take a hike in the CA sales tax to put this little baby next to his H2 in his garage. On the bright side, now that he'll have a second car, maybe he'll do something to fight the idea of raising gas taxes.


    Or maybe he'll just Californicate as he usually does and we'll all be fucked.

    In reply to RUF Dakara: A Porsche Cayenne That Looks Like A Porsche
    I'm not thrilled by it. Dare I say, I prefer the look of the stock Cayenne. If a tuner wanted to up the cool factor, they should have increased its off-road prowess, and made it a proper Dakar rally-esque vehicle. More travel, meatier tires, covered by marginally more pronounced flares.


    As it is, it is a Porsche Cherokee SRT8, or going back further, a Porsche Typhoon. Sure, it's cool from a performance standpoint, but does little to justify an SUV body.


    For a street-going machine, they could have chopped it down a bit, and given it an almost wagon-like stance. The Cayenne, after all, has a better profile than the Panamera, and would have made a better "sedan".

    Funny choice of setting for something named after a city in Senegal, West Africa. You'd think they could fly it to somewhere in the Sahara and take pictures of it flouncing about in the sand dunes instead.

    Mr. Ruf goes to hang out with Calogero from "Bronx Tale."


    C: Hey Ruf, why don't you make a good-looking Cayenne?


    Ruf: I can't make a good-looking Cayenne. That's too hard. No one can make a good-looking Cayenne.


    C: Sure you can, just put a screen in front of it's face, and I'll throw shit at it.

    Is Ruf not participating in the "World's Longest Press Release by a Car Company" contest? This press release, for what looks like a really cool car is shorter than their press release for the eRuf.


    Of course, that one had to explain that Siemens is a company and Ruf owns hydroelectric power stations.

    The Cayenne is hideous (and shouldn't exist) no matter what sort of treatment it gets. This is basically setting the makeup gun to "whore," and aiming it at a pig.
