The thing is say about the Cayenne is that it was the first truly performance SUV from a performance manufacturer. It essentially created the luxury/performance SUV market (and saved the company)
The Cayenne is a badge engineered VW Tuareg as most people hopefully know.
The Jimny is an off-roader though, so it’s probably safe to assume that no SUVs were harmed during its creation.
That's not quite how it is, they share the same chassis but engines, dynamics/chassis are Porsche. Having driven them back to back they are very different cars dynamically.
It's a small engined off roader and if I was going to pick an off roader the Range Rover sport or even Vitara (for the small engine category) probably fits better. And as SWB off roader the dihatsu four/sports track or shogun pinn ticks more of the boxes.

It truly is the only Super-SUV....
There seems to be quite a split in GTPlanet also. 🤭 Anyways - I think this split / preference comes down to how you play the game. If one plays single player races or random lobbys, they really like to have as many tuneable street cars as possible. And I do like this also - it is Gran Turismo after all. But if one is like me who has played almost exclusively sportmode since GT Sport, it's understandable random streetcars seem indifferent to you, as you are not going to use them anywhere. It seems to be very hard for PDI to make these bop street car packs as the one we just saw in daily A. New tracks and race cars are more useful in that sense to anyone using GT7 as racing "sim" or esports. Ofcource new race cars dont help if we continue to have NSX or Huracan single make races in gr.4/gr.2. Gr3 is actually quite diverse now, as more people just understand the qualifying meta car might not be the meta for the race. For this the change to car specific qualifying times would bring some life to grid in different strategies. Does one take the Q meta and start from the top of the grid or opt for more race pace and exhange it for few spots in the grid?Same. And besides, I make my own Gr.4 & 3 cars with street cars and consider those GT RM modifications when they're done. Just need visible weight reduction, ability to swap steering wheels and seats and add a MoTeC display and/or custom gauges like in GT6, and it'd be complete. One could wish that happens in GT8..
