Here is a very interesting interview of Jacinto Peynado regarding how he became the official importer of Porsche in the DR, how he had no money when he started the business, the Porsche DR business became profitable in about 2 years, sales of Porsche tripled once Ferrari and Maserati were removed from the same showroom, the DR is the fourth most important market for Porsche in Latin America, etc.

Play money,
If one has it OK, why not?
Ultimately they are cars for posers, people who like to show off......new money.
People with a weak ego who try to impress others.
People with loud enhanced exhaust systems for cars and motorcycles, it make them feel powerful- get's attention......weak ego!
The DR has horrible roads and drivers.
If I drive a high performance car I do so in Germany with no seed limit on some highways,
Or at lest on good scenic roads.
One can also drive them on race tracks in various countries.
A sensible person drives a strong car with high ground clearance in the DR.
A Porsche Cayenne is not exactly a great off-road or rough road vehicle.
