Just like I also own a Kia, a nissan, and a VW along with Mercedes and Lotus and Lamborghini. But each have their purpose.
What purpose could a Kia possibly serve?

That is why I am kind of excited to try this and see if I change my mind on it.

Well that's the problem. It isn't a low to the ground mid-engine exotic, it's an SUV. Seems dumb and pointless to have an SUV setup like an exotic sports car considering how it's an SUV and all.

I just expected them to do something a bit more... special and comfortable, like a more luxurious GT take on a Lambo.

Those tight chairs are comfortable AF to me and I'm no midget. If you want to drive around a couch get an Escalade, nawmean.

Nice man, how'd you become so well off financially? I repped you (don't repeat what I said in here).



It's tough... I love Lamborghini, but it's an SUV and the fact that it's trying to look so fast as an SUV.. I don't know. I just don't know that it's worth the money. For speed, I'd get a car.

Thought about Merc G class, but more money, less power and less room and CERTAINLY less reliable. I have owned a bunch of mercedes and wife still drives one. Bought a used Kia and LOVE it. At 80mph it is the quietest vehicle we own.

Nicely options, 220-230. But most are selling over sticker right now as much as 300. If you have a good relationship w/ dealer they will sell to you without big markup, but if you flip it, you loose that relationship. Not something I would ever do. The exotic car world is too small to screw over good relationships.

Just been in the grind for a while. Self employed since 23. Had some good times and bad. Really been living a much simpler, less money focused life for the past 12 years. Stopped chasing MOAR. And much happier. Just started playing with cars a few years back because I have a 14 yo son and it is fun for us. But I dont focus too much on stuff.

I am in complete agreement with you that I'd rather have a car than a fast suv. But why not have both? Actually I have buddies that do, but I am not wired like that. I am too conservative. Even though I could afford it, I wouldnt put that much cash in depreciating assets.

This is my buddy. (srs) All his. I would not feel comfortable having this much out there on cars. Although he could cash out in todays current market to the tune of 600+ profit. I would have to sell....

AMAZED at what a vette can hold. I have trouble driving my Huracan to the track and hauling 2 helmets. There is not room for sh!t.

they lost the aesthetic a long time ago. I still like the gallardo and some huracans, but nothing else. That suv sounds like a tractor as well

They are totally retarded just like most pickup trucks but the Chinese market and potatoes buy them, so investors demand it. Macan and Cayenne are the biggest sellers for Porsche, even Alfa succumbed and released one of these travesties. Ferrari have one on the way.

It is painful to see, but at least it can prop up these companies to keep making cars for people who can actually drive.

Love the gallardo. Used to have a gallardo sypder. Loved that car! The 5.0 v10 even firing engine was glorious! The only other even firing V10 are Carrera GT and Lexus LFA. Nothing screamed like it did!!!

I agree...The 'exotic' suv thing is a little weird to me. BUT I am keeping an open mind. I have been really down on it, so I wills see how I feel after getting to have some fun with it.



Since I am keeping the Urus overnight, they said they can park my car on the show room floor. I am going to chat with them about possible allocation of something coming down the line. SVJs are sold out, and there are too many around here. SRS, I have like 6 buddies with SVJ's. Have a few friends with STO, and I am not convinced the sto is the car for me. But interested in just seeing what they have to say.

This is my H. I really enjoy the car. It is modified. Putting out about 860hp. VERY fun car to drive.

Had to post the vid of my son spinning it out in turn 1 coming off a 140mph straight. I will hold that against him for a looong time

Picked this up this morning. Had to come home to sort some stuff out, but going to go for some driving later.

This thing will definitely MOVE. VERY strange feeling to hit the gas and have an SUV move like this.

Yea but you have to crawl off of the ground every time you get in and out of that thing. I grow very tired of that very fast at 6'5". I did the sports car gig for a long time. My knees and back thanked me the day I got a stupid fast SUV.

Yeah brah, I thinks it's pretty cool that OP has been self-employed for most of his adult life, is not an uptight ****got(at least in my interactions with him on the misc), has a pretty cute wife who I assume he confirmed is a non-sloot based on his generally alpha lifestyle, actually lifts-- and looks like it, drives a lambo, knows a lambo rep who hooks him up with lambo perks, and posts sweet content for the misc.

If that's not winning in your mind brah, I'd like an explanation about what is. I swear to God, people are so unwilling to just look at someone else successful and say 'wow that dude is fookin crushing it good for him.'

Thanks man. There is so much trash and hate that gets thrown around, it is cool to have some more positive exchanges. That is what I try to teach my kids is find the good of the awesome in everything. Everyone wants to hate or complain.

But my experiences in life have proven to me that 'bad' things are only a perspective. The 'worst' things in my life to happen to me have been some of the greatest gift. Almost getting killed, broken neck, brain injury was the BEST thing that ever happened to me in my life. Never once did I wake up a day and say 'why me'.

The biggest thing I hope people take away and I am serious. Is the money is last on the list. It is fun, and it can provide fun distractions, but it is nothing to build a life around. And the chase of it early in my life would have consumed me if I did not get the perspective shift. I am happy with a lot less these days and enjoy simpler life. It is cool that I can play with some fun stuff, but it does not define me.

To the dude above who said he would drive for status, that is not a way through life. I would be just as happy to hop in my KIA sorrento and I dont feel any less of myself when I drive it. Let your definition of yourself come from YOU not the crap others try to distract themselves with. Guess that is part of why I love training so much. I am only accountable to myself. My failures are my own along with my victories.

Fuk others and their judgements. Life is good.

Almost getting killed, broken neck, brain injury was the BEST thing that ever happened to me in my life. Never once did I wake up a day and say 'why me'.

The biggest thing I hope people take away and I am serious. Is the money is last on the list. It is fun, and it can provide fun distractions, but it is nothing to build a life around. And the chase of it early in my life would have consumed me if I did not get the perspective shift. I am happy with a lot less these days and enjoy simpler life. It is cool that I can play with some fun stuff, but it does not define me.

To the dude above who said he would drive for status, that is not a way through life. I would be just as happy to hop in my KIA sorrento and I dont feel any less of myself when I drive it. Let your definition of yourself come from YOU not the crap others try to distract themselves with. Guess that is part of why I love training so much. I am only accountable to myself. My failures are my own along with my victories.

Fuk others and their judgements. Life is good.
I meant - the only reason anyone would buy an Urus over an RSQ8 would be for "status", since they are essentially the same car. I feel the same. I've "made it", but live well below my means. My wife is happy in her Kia Telluride and I'm blessed to not have someone who craves the attention of a G-Wagon or something just because we can "afford" it. Hell, I still have my first dream car - a Pontiac Grand prix with 240k on the clock that I daily drive. I want for nothing except for my kids to succeed in whatever they want to do with their lives

Cool man. Sounds like you living right! Telluride is an awesome SUV. Arguably one of the nicest out there right now.


Funny you mention G-wagen. Had one of the first 50 in this country in 2003. No one knew what they were. Except then all the rappers got them and car got probably the most amount of attention of any car I have had .(during that timeframe). Now they are very common, but when they first started importing them, there were very few around.

Had nothing but issues with it. Got rid of it as soon as it went out of warranty!

OK...>So my thoughts so far the Urus. I love it and I hate it. This is so strange to drive. I am past the point where I am calling it a re-badged audi. The interior feels very familiar and they carried over so much of the Lamborghini feel. The tune of the motor obviously is vastly different. I cant help but drive in Corsa, but when I took my wife to lunch I just did drive in normal mode. A switch to sport or corsa, and the crackles and pops of the exhaust on down shift come to life.

I could see a nice valved exhaust aftermarket would really wake the car up. The stock exhaust is valved, but a more aggressive sound in sport and corsa would be nice.

Switching the modes does more than just sound switching. Ride height, dampening and many other aspects of driving are altered. It is almost like there are 3 distinct personalities to the car. Actually there are 6 but I did not try any of the off-road modes. Sand/dirt and mud/Ice and snow.

The trans is not quite as responsive as a dual clutch. That might be the biggest thing I notice driving in corsa is that slight delay which is not there in a DCT.




So what I love. I sometimes forget that I am driving a SUV, and feel like I am driving a sports car. And this blows my mind. A rush at every corner and opportunity to accelerate AND brake just as quickly.


What I hate. I sometimes forget that I am driving a SUV, and feel like I am driving a sports car. And of course no one expects it to be on par with a Huracan, but just for a minute I think I am there and want that touch more.

I think the latter is an extreme compliment to the platform. What vehicle can fool you into thinking your 5 passenger SUV is a supercar. Well...this on can!

VERY cool..
