Hey I have a Sport Luxury Utility Truck! Well thats what some say I call it a Ultimate Utility Vehicle.
There is a need for SUV/Trucks and cars. I think everyone should own several of each! 
PS I think that Cayenne pepper thing would fit in the back of my Avalanche!

Gag!
<----will stick with an X5 4.4i Sport.
The Cayenne is as attractive as a Pontiac Aztek (and we all know how attractive  that contraption is.)

The front . . .
looks a bit like the front ent of their GT-2 car (with the big openings for air). I wonder what moved them to take the step into the SUV rhelm?
I wondered why Buick went into the SUV business, but I have seen a few of them on the road. They look funny. I think that the Pontiac Azec looks the funniest. Too much car, with too little wheel.
It looks like a really big station wagon, or touring car.

Joe - I know you were only kidding - but imagine the poor bastards over at Porsche that had to build this thing.
These guys are used to designing sports cars, then one day, a manager walks in and says
'Guess what? We're going to build an SUV'.
Typical engineer response would be
'Why the hell would we want to build an SUV? We make sportscars!'
And the typical manager reponse:
'Because marketing says these things will sell like hotcakes'
Just like that, before you know it - you went from designing top of the line sportscars to station wagons on high heels. From an engineer's perspective, it's a sad, sad world sometimes.

YUCK!
I'd take the BMW X5 over that thing any day! I don't really understand Porsche's move here. They're supposed to be all about creating "pure" sports cars, not mommy mobiles. Do they really need money bad enough to try to capatialize on the SUV market? Just seems like an awkward move to me...

As Brad said there is only one reason why a sports car company would even consider building an SUV.....$$$$$$$$$. For a company that has prided itself on building elite sports machines for many years to lower itself into the SUV market to simply pad the bottom line is shameless. Bad move Porsche.

I don't know if I was serious or not, I have doubts.
GUYS!! - Don't you know the X5 series has the new 4.6 engine!!!! It's bigger, faster ........ I love those two words......
........ I don't know what I would rather buy the Kia SUV or the Porsche, they book look like they have the same amount of quality put into them.

As I'm looking at the pics, I'm having a hard time deciding what I hate more about that SUV. It's pretty bad guys! The side view is just appaling. It's horrible!

I have been a porsche enthusiast since I was a kid. However, I will have to agree with the other reactions to the cayenne. It is not the most attractive truck I have seen, in fact it doen't even look like a truck. I have owned 4 porsches and will probably always have one in the stable but when it comes to trucks I am a hardcore advocate of USA manufacturing, styling, comfort and exhaust note. When I fire up the flow masters on my GMC denali (loaded with luxury interior features) it makes my heart hesitate with excitement. The plush ride notwithstanding, there is never any doubt that I am behind the wheel of a truck that is poised and ready to kick *ss when called upon.
I believe the cayenne probably will have an impressive 0 - 60 time, but if I wanted to get to 60 mph in 5 seconds surely I wouldn't grab the keys to the truck.
