If you're looking at an SUV to haul the family around speed and handling might not be as important as creature comforts.
If you're looking at a really fast DD those same comforts may not be as important but I doubt you'll want to drive something as harsh as a Lotus around.

Etc...


Speed, handling, useability, practicality, quality, style, and service can all be moved around depending on what you're looking for.
I know most people here aren't huge GT-R fans because it's not a pure enough track car. I like it beacuse I can lay to waste pretty much anything anytime and still feel comfortable taking a road trip with it, driving my boy around in, or goiing to the grocery store.


Oh I forgot, price. That's probably the biggest factor for anyone. Or we'd all be driving Cayenne Turbo S's, Veyrons, and 599s around.
I disagree. Those few tenths don't make a difference. I'm saying fast is fast - no matter how you look at it - and being a few tenths faster than the guy next to you on a road isn't a big deal. so what if the other car is faster.

I'm not talking bout suvs.
