Nice. :D
I have performed a lot of research and there are not any other "reasonably" priced vehicles that can do 0-60 in 4.5sec and the 1/4 mile in the high 12's/ low 13's.
I almost bought a 335xi last year, but I am glad I waited since Jeep is finally discounting the SRT8's. We have bad weather 4-6 months are year here so AWD is a must.

Well the Cayenne is superior in every way save for aesthetics, but at 3x the price?

I agree with you...i wanted another AWD vehicle and it is very hard to find a reasonably priced AWD performance car.

A few that come to mind. Audi S4, 335xi, STI, Evo, TBSS, Mazada Speed6, Ram SRT-10, And i guess the AWD LX with some mods.
And if you go older/used. Eclipse GSX, 3000GT VR4

But yes, finding an AWD car/truck in the 13s is very difficult, let alone 12s. For under 50k (Although the only ones more than 50 i can think of are the porsches, GTR, Lambos, and Audis). And most in that segment are tuner cars that need to be modded. The jeep and even the 335xi and S4 are a rare breed indeed.

What i dont understand is how Lambo and Audi can build these hi-HP cars that can handle the AWD yet everyone else claims they cant. It MUST Be possible.
