Default On my way to school I saw

It was black and very nice. It sits rather low like the Honda Element. It was black and inside the front wheel well is the sidemarker lights. The car is very clean and smooth looking and I was surprised that LED tail lights wasn't used. Traffic was moderate so I was able to look at it for a while.

cayenne does serve a purpose. it will be a cash cow for Porsche.

it will allow them to develop better cars. for example boxster coupe, etc.

i don't personally like the cayenne but it's good for the company.

From the website the S and the Turbo has two different front bumpers right? The one I saw had the front bumper of the Turbo. However it didn't say turbo on the rear. Is it suppose to say turbo? All I saw was Cayenne on the rear. It had a new plate that said RUSNAK.

Cayenne would own the X5 and the SUV by Mercedes anyday. It sits almost as low as the Honda Odyssey.

If Porshce made a AWD or RWD sports car to compete with WRX STi or the Evo8 and price it around $30K I think it would be a good move. Or a 4 door sedan to compete with the BMW M5 it would be good too. Nothing wrong with expanding the product line.:thumbup:

yeah the turbo should say turbo on the back.

the cayenne easily beat the X5 4.6is and the ML55 (in european tests).

bmw does have an X5 that can beat the turbo cayenne but they only built like 1 or 2 of them the Lemans Edition they drop in a V12 and that thing circles the ring faster than a 911turbo :chuckles:
