Wrong.

Your Toyota would sputter and crawl to a stop as the engine died. (Toyota uses Denso fuel pumps btw, you think they never fail???) They're good for about 100k.

Me, I'd get a little warning light on the dash telling me the fuel pump was inoperative... and then I'd keep driving along to my destination, because I have two fuel pumps.

You want to know where all the weight is? THAT is a prime example. It's a beefier, better built car. That's all there is to it.

100K miles? Please show me proof of this as I have rarely heard of a Toyota fuel pump giving out.

Gee, what a surprise, another guy who knows absolutely nothing about the Cayenne and posts misinformation wants me to enlighten him on yet another aspect of vehicles.

I don't think so.

The Toyota owner, well he’s down the road.
Well, it's certainly no surprise to me that all your knowledge of the brand comes from a movie.

The car in the movie was a Porsche Speedster not some mall rated Buffy and Tad mobile

So by that standard a Hummer H1 is better built that your Chili Pepper Volkswagen

LOL, but then.... suddenly four new windows will miraculously pop out the doors just after a little dashboard light told him "all windows non operative"... Because the magnificent Cayenne has two pieces of everything!!

Hmm i wonder, maybe that's where all the weight comes from

Window regulators rarely fail on the Cayenne. They fail far more often on Jeeps and other brands. How do I know? I've had both and I've had to replace many of them.

It's too bad you seem to have such a loathing for the Cayenne. Class envy maybe, I don't know. Taking the time to disparage a vehicle you don't even own or know anything about is pretty silly.
