What do you guys think of how this car looks? I am in love with the car, and was curious to obtain some other opinons

You should put "other-explain, please" as an option. Standing alone as a vehicle on its own merits, i think it's a phenomenal machine. The fact that it's a Porsche, however, greatly detracts from its appeal in my opinion, troublesome as a view that may be. I'm by no means a porsche purist, though I do think that their foray into the SUV market represents everything that is wrong with the marketplace from an aesthetics vantage.

very nice car, You continue to impress me with your taste of fine imports

[peam]

it looks like a volkswagon passat wagon to me....

Definately not my style. The interior looks nice, but ...dont even know where to start on the body

If I had half a mind to slap you silly girl!! You have just insulted the porsche now appologize:

[peam]

No!!

[TheDfromGC]

reminds me of buick rendezvous, and the rendezvous is not pretty

[Red Ketchup]

It's just ugly... butt ugly.

Damm whats wrong with a nice Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition? At least it's a real 4x4 truck with a solid frame, not some trumped up unibody shell with a 4 wheel drive under it.

I like porshes but come on... porsche = real nice sports cars... if you want a 4x4, get the real thing!

ACTUALLY, you aren't too far off there.... (check the link at the bottom)

"Volkswagen and Porsche jointly developed their SUV projects together to help defray development costs and pool resources. The Touareg utilizes the same basic platform and AWD system as the Porsche Cayenne..........."

fastest production suv on the planet..

[Power-BB]

I would rather have my 99 Dodge Neon

[HeartDocMD]

Thanks for all the feedback. As I assumed, most thought of the car to be relatively ugly, however, for some reason I still think its beautiful!...I must agree with one of the above comments that porsche should have stayed as a maker of luxury sport cars, rather then to fall into the SUV market, however, they made a gorgeous SUV that goes 0-60 in 5.5 seconds...

Too bad it'll still get burned!

It is a little funky looking, but drive it and i promise you will love it

[FKITLETSGO]

I just noticed that two ladies were viewing this thread so hello and goodnight to the both of you. And yes this is a thread hijack but I can do that b/c im FKITLETSGO. Peam its been a while since we've spoken so hit me up. ichiban-its been a while also; in fact, if i have spoken to you at all it would have been in another life so I wouldnt remember it. G'night ladies

[ichiban]

well, thanks for being so thoughtful fkit. So just what were you in that past life?

[FKITLETSGO]

Im thinking a hemmoroid...you talked to any lately?

[ichiban]

OK, that is just nasty. And, no and I don't ever plan to.

[Full Intensity]

I am going to hate myself for saying this but I think it looks like the Hyundai SUV, just a lil bigger. I am hardcore porsche, shit i'd sacrifice a testicle for a 911, but the Cayenne is the only car they shouldn't have produced and the only one I don't like. Porsche should stick to making high end sports cars, and leave SUVs for Hummer.

gee, what would ever make you say this ?

[daem]

if you are looking into a sweet luxury sports SUV then i would go with the new RX330 by Lexus. personally i think it is the best midsize SUV that not only performs well but looks sweet.

or you could get the new range rover in black on black...that would be a nice ride as well.

[EXCESS]

Its like an ugly girl with a great personality. Its ok when you're inside but I'd rather not look at it.

... thats along the lines of what I was thinking (although not as graphic as you stated it )...The interior, handling, acceleration is incredible, but ahhhh!! Ah well...thanks for all the opinions guys

[BigGreen]

What about the BMW M-Series (or whatever series makes up their SUV)? I know the performance doesn't remotely measure up, but you get a comparable interior and a slightly more traditional look. I agree with daem, however, regarding the new lexus, they've taken the RX300 to another level altogether.

[ichiban]

HeartDoc.-- Like I said before, YES, it is odd looking....but go drive the twin turbo. There will be no turning back. Prance your little Dr. hind end into the dealership and give that thing a good ole thrashing of a test drive. It's like driving the 911 carrera w/ turbo, just more car under you. Oh yeah, and you can actually fit a regular sized human being in the back seats. Porsche doesn't make crap!

I looked at the lexus RX330, and it was slooowwww....it had an extremly nice interior, but with only a 3 liter engine, it slugged along. As for the BMW they do make an SUV the X5. Comes as a 3 liter a 4.4 and a 4.6 liter engine. A very nice vehicle, but I am turning in my bmw early due to too many electronic problems. So I rather stay away from bmw for now (although I do love the car)...

Ichiban, I test drove the Cayenne Turbo, and it rides like a dream. However, they are absurd with the options. Memory seats are an option?...Most luxury cars normally come with that standard. So I fully loaded it, and I am not sure if the car really warrants the price they want for it. Thanks for all the opinions everyone

[Devourer]

a family friend just bought one and he really likes it. i still think it's incredibly ugly though.

[ichiban]

Doc.-- You are right on the money about the options. They are kinda silly the way they are set up. I think that porsche will need to change that.
I agree with you on the lex. and bmw. The lex is slow (maybe why my mom loves it?) and bmws ALWAYS have silly little problems. Have you checked out the acura mdx? I have one and love it. It's got luxurey, it's not slow, and it will NOT fall apart. Have you checked out the mercedes ml (? the suv), my step mom had one for a while and got in a REALLY bad wrek with a semi. and walked away. ( of course the skank now has a real tank, a range rover). Good luck and have fun driving all those new cars!

You hit the nail RIGHT on the head my brotha!!

[Terinox]

Well since I'm SO rich, I have three of those, and they are fabulous!! Oh boy are they great fun
