Don't Mess with the Russian SWAT (or match the bad guys description)

Don't mess with the Russian Police, especially their SWAT team. And, don't drive the same type of vehicle with a similar license plate down the same street at roughly the same time as bank robbers. If you do, be ready for your vehicle to get destroyed. According to the description on YouTube, the first Porsche Cayenne was the same color and had a "177" in the license plate, causing the first attack to go down. They quickly realized it was the wrong vehicle, cleared the scene and waited for the next and correct vehicle. They bad guys did end up killing a bank employee so, you know, that's real to me. I'm fine with the mistake and the complete beat down of the second and actual thugs. I like the idiot who wouldn't get on the ground so they kicked him in the ribs. Then, one guy pulls his legs out and stands on one while trying to stomp on the other. Enjoy.

Japanese = German

For a long time now, German cars have been part of the best driving cars made. BMW and Porsche are both awesome cars to drive. Japanese cars have long been produced for fuel efficiency and long hassle free life. Autocar, from the UK, tested the new Nissan GT-R against BMW's M3 and Porsche 911 GT3. Here are the videos. Part 1 Part 2 I love how this guy reminds us that Nissan used to be Datsun. Also, I love the shots of the cars in full drift around the corners. He scored Nissan as equal to Porsche but far above BMW. From everything I saw, I'd go with the Nissan. It will give the most consistent times and handling. The car practically drives itself. I know that sounds off for me, but I'm getting old and lazy. I do like to enjoy driving, and my VW is (in my mind) a scaled down Porsche; but for consistent performance, the Nissan is the way to go.
