exactly what i was thinking... i thought the price range was somewhere around 900k. somebody getting hoodwinked.
Anyway as I said before, Bharath deserves the Porsche because he is one of the most classiest PP ministers there are.I am a serious worker and the truth will come out. In politics you have 100 things to do and you do 99 well and in the eyes of some people, one wrong and everyone remembers that one that is deemed to be wrong. Nobody (from the media) is calling to ask me what I am doing about water, electricity, etc. Giving people water, improving people's life appear to be of no consequence

parts on the whole are expensive, even down to the tires would be more expensive over a Prado 18" tire because the Cayenne rolls on 21" wheels.
and I hope they bought the Diesel version, to work that 3.6 V6 gas for Ministry purposes would be madness, much less than for the V8.
) would say.. Bharath should have known better and ordered some Auto 4x4 Ford Rangers or something... hmm but wait those are almost 300K each too and the police alreayd have dozens upon dozens of them on the road and write off in VMCOTT 
Minister defends Porsche purchase
Wednesday 18th January, 2012
The Minister of Public Utilities, Mr. Emmanuel George says the Porsche SUV he drives was bought with his own money.
The Minister stopped by CTV's studios on Wednesday morning to register his disapproval at a newspaper article which stated that he and the Food Production Minister, Mr. Vasant Bharath, both have Porsches as their vehicles.
He said: "The vehicle I bought was bought with my money and it belongs to me. It is owned by me. It is not owned by the Ministry. I want to underscore that by saying that previously, I owned another vehicle which I sold recently before I bought the Porsche, and that vehicle was an even higher end vehicle. So I want to know what the fuss is about this Porsche."
Mr. George took issue with the approach taken by the media house.
"Call me, ask me about the service that the people are receiving. About complaints that we get from people who don't get service. On Tuesday, somebody died, Mr. Patterson, but there is no question about these things. A man died and another died last week. One would expect that you call the Minister and ask him about these questions. But how come somebody's loss of life is not as important as my purchase of a Porsche."
The issue surrounding the Porsche was raised by Opposition Leader. Dr. Keith Rowley, who criticised Minister Bharath for using a Porsche Cayenne SUV as his Ministry's official vehicle.
Dr. Rowley said Mr. Bharath was guilty of the same extravagance that he accused former Prime Minister Patrick Manning of displaying when Mr. Manning sought to buy a Bombardier private jet.

playing devils advocate here...
the 3.6 Diesel Cayenne base model comes with 18's..
what about the gas Parados and Land Rovers and Pajeros that the gov't has dozens upon dozens of already?? 500 to fill and being used by couriers to transport ppl and collect mail..
Call the firm and ask the price of some cayenne parts vs grand vitara parts.. you may be kinda shocked to learn some vitara parts cost more.. I was

However let's hope it doesn't happen again because Anil Roberts likes speed and rum, and he already almost write off a gov't Prado, a Cayenne would be overdoing it. And Dr Lincoln Douglas is known not to able to obey the laws of the land while behind the wheel, so a Cayenne might be too tempting.

but on the other hand, why are they buying expensive ass cars to share out hampers? where the fleet of cars that was bought for the summit 3(?) years ago?
