What Premium Vehicle Under 70k Screams 'I'm BADASS' Most?

Now this may be a tough question to answer because $70,000 will get you plenty of different vehicles from a wide range of classes. Take, for example, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, BMW M3, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Of course those are all performance vehicles but is that really the way to measure how BADASS a car could be?

Maybe you have to think outside of the box because performance isn't the key ingredient. What about towing or off-road capability? Perhaps the Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 is a better answer. Or, how about the Ford Raptor?

Hm, then there's the sheer indestructability of a vehicle. Then we'd have to defer to Top Gear's series of trials for the Toyota Hilux pick-up truck and select that as a winner.

Regardless, we've given you some examples. Let us know which car for $70,000 is the most BADASS and WHY...

I'm not a fan of all the plastic trim on it, but it IS an off-roading machine.

For cars the sky is the limit, but for trucks the Ford Raptor hands down, it is the first truck to go beyond stickers and shocks and actually increase wheel travel, and have two selectable axles, unlike the competitions watered down traction control. The Dodge Power Wagon and Rubicon fit there too, but they still haven't done as much as the Ford.

I gotta throw it out there....the BMW X6M. Also the Porsche Panamera Turbo. I have yet to see someone actually driving a BMW X6M since the standard 4.4L TT V8 pretty much covers all of the same bases. The standard Panamera V6 seems to be the up and coming car of choice for players and poseurs here in the Atlanta area; rarely do you see someone sporting a Panamera S, much less a Turbo.

When in world history has a vehicle manufacturer had the sheer balls to market an off-the-shelf vehicle as capable of three-foot-high jumps? Or to introduce a brand new 11 MPG V8 during these dark days when the federal government is trying to cram EV and hybrid technology down the throats of an unwilling public?

Here's to Ford--the ballsiest American car manufacturer, and the SVT Raptor, the most hard-ass <70K truck in existence!

Now with extra testosterone!

Now the question is, when it comes to $70k, do you buy an amazing used car or the new one? I'm currently looking at a CPO'd '08 Cayenne Turbo or a 2011 Cayenne V6. Suggestions???
