Personally though, I would still love to have a high performance SUV that I can take to the snow (light to medium "soft" road duties), camping, and long treks and still have the option to haul a$$.

I have never taken my car up to 160 mph and don't need to. I seldom even "floor" my car. I doubt most of the estimated 225,000 owners of e60s "floor" their cars or take them up to 160 mph or actually need 300 - 500++ HP.
