Also...road trips. My SUV experience blew my mind. I used to think it was dumb how people complained about sports cars for road trips (I figured they were just hating because they had a bunch of whelps and couldn't afford a sports car + a minivan...). Well, they kinda are onto something. 65dB for 10 hours + radio is a LOT easier on me than 70-74dB + radio for 10 hours. It's a huge amount of fatigue I was having that I never really even "noticed" until it didn't exist. Obviously some luxury and very high end sports cars don't experience this, but under $50K, it's SUV territory.
I can't subscribe to this logic on an enthusiast forum. SUV vs sports car compares is sacrilegious.

Meh. When you live where sports cars can't sensibly go, you find alternatives, and for me, alternative vehicles that are still fun beat living where I have to see and hear people any day of the week, and twice on days I dont have to go to work.

And there are some crazy *** SUV’s out there right now.
Cayene, Macan, Stelvio Q, Cherokee TrackHawk, Durango SRT, some Bimmer //M’s and anything with AMG in front of the name, for instance. These aren’t your momma’s urban assault vehicles anymore! ;-)

Those aren't SUV's. Those are crossovers and im really disgusted right now but ummm who am I. This forum I know went to shyt 2 years ago. But at least we had the decency to NEVER bring crossovers near sports cars.

Might as well build the GRIP Z and call it a day? Mistu did right with the eclipse.

Balls are gone and men in panties are here to stay.

I did a track day 2 years ago in the same run group with a very skilled driver in a Macan S which had been tuned.
I was in my 4C.
We started 1/2 track apart, and over 20 minutes never saw each other (all the while I was passing Caymans and "lesser" 911's and was being passed by GT3-RS's). This happened 3 sessions in a row.

The Macan is the real deal. No panties required! ;-)

Yeah, the cheapest of that bunch is what, $65k?! Of course those aren't your typical soccer mom SUV.

For that kind of scratch, I'd go for a Corvette Z06... And I don't even like American cars!
