I'm speculating it's all the suspension and chassis reinforcement in an attempt to make a 2 ton SUV handle remotely like a sports car. This is my main gripe with these performance SUVs. They're trying to make something inherently non-sporty in to something sporty just by throwing a ton of horsepower and low profile tires at it, ruining the ride Comfort and negating it's role as a utility vehicle. You're left with owning a fast, uncomfortable, tire hungry, gas thirsty elephant to show off to your neighbors and not much else.
You just described every BMW Lexus Audi and Mercedes Benz.
