Rear view

I'm still not sure how I feel about a Porsche SUV, but...

the rear looks like a cross between a VW and an X5. The thing is just plain ugly. I'll take the ML55 over the X5 4.6i and the X5 4.6i over the porsche.

Anyone else think that front view makes it look like a cross between a Santa Fe and a Dodge Stratus?

peace

I speak for thousands of Porsche owners when I say...

...the Cayenne has diluted the entire brand. I hate it. I loathe it. I dred the day I see the first one in person. It saddens me to see a sports car company lower itself to follow marketing whims and become a follower in the suv (sux) market. The most profitable car company in the world got even greedier.

That is not an SUV in my mind. Not to Porsche looking either.

Kinda looks a bit RAV4ish...

I understand what you Porsche fans are crying about, trust me. It sucks to brag about your car being the best in one specific area, having one model built back in the 70's and tweaked every year from there, they did nothing but make thier cars better and better then all of the sudden in 6 months they can come out with a crappy SUV that NO ONE and I mean NO ONE is going buy, that brings the Porsche image quite a bit down in my book.

I still like them alot but MAN do I want to pimp smack the person who made that, I would burn those blue prints for that ........ that .......... that ......... NIGHTMARE!

It does look more like a wagon than an SUV, from the rear. Aside from that when I first looked at the front angle pic it reminded me of a Jensen Interceptor with the excepiton of just the grille area, anybody else see that?

The back hatch looks like a VW Golf
The back bumper looks like an X5
The front lights look like a Boxster
The front bumper/grille looks like the Twin Turbo Porsche

I see they don't want to use any domestic parts ...... bias'd little son of a &^%&*

Now, how about FWD Porsches?? Are those "real" in your book?? I don't consider them real, but that's just me. The Cayenne is hidious indeed. Have you guys heard about the BMW Pickup Truck?? The Volvo SUV?? I think even Saab is slated to make a "Stupid Useless Vehicle" as well. No offense to those of you that own one as some of you may actually use them as they were intended. Thanks for letting me vent.
