How do you feel about the cayenne?
 
i first thought it was as ugly as could be, and porsche building an suv...oh man, tragic!!! But too all the skeptics out there...if you can get a ride in the turbo and you will change your mind right away...
Anybody feel the same way?

I love it.. because it brings lot of money to Porsche and ence new supercars, and also because in its Turbo version is simply stunnig for a SUV. And hell, as st-anger would tell you (and he knows his stuff), it's a true Posche!

I think it sucks. I sat in it at the TO Auto Show, an it was really roomy and comfortable....not really my definition of a Porsche....

Ahhh! I can't STAND the Cayenne. The Infiniti FX45 is faster to 60 than a Cayenne S, and quicker too. It also happens to be about $40k cheaper. For Chrissake, a Subaru Forrester XT is just as quick to 60 as both. I think the Turbo is too expensive. Im not a huge fan of these Sports Utility Vehicles.

I think st-anger posted a review of it and he says he was impressed by it (or was it in a magazine :?: ). I like it because it's a Porsche despite his size and weight, it has all the Porsche qualities :wink:

You're right, he drove it also on track, and anyway all the mags are in love with the Cayenne TT performance

I love it! The performance of the Turbo is great.... and for an SUV it's amazing! The front body work on the Turbo definately makes it a much better looking car all around as compared to the cayenne S

its not true to the porsche values, but as a SUV it gets pretty close. Loads of people at my college have them (their parents), so i see them all the time. They are starting to grow on me now - (I never thought i wud be saying that).

Its performance is unrivalled by anything else in its sector, and so i think that it deserves some credit.

In the end though, it is all down to personal feelings (ME - I like it :mrgreen: )

i really like it, its a good decision taken by porsche and its worth 50 % of its annual incomes, so ill give em an a+

DeMoN 03-17-2004 08:43 PM

I can only think of one word "YUCK!"

Sorry, but I hate how it looks. With those looks, I dont really care how it performs. I cant be impressed by its performance if I am not appealed a little at least by its looks. If you think its great because of its performance, then you too should like a riced up 1000hp civic. I think that it is the combination of power and looks that makes a great car. One it may have, but the other, it LACKS way too much.

i dont like the lines of the cayenne thats for s ur ebut i can absolutely respect what it is. The turbo is bar none the best SUV money can buy and i would without a doubt have on in my fleet. thats to say IF i had a "fleet" :D

I plan to never buy an suv, but if I did, it would definately be the Cayenne Turbo. I also heard that Porsche is going to offer a base Cayenne with the VW Toureg's V6 engine. This model might hurt the company's reputation but I don't think the Cayenne S and Turbo do.

adlinyusman 03-17-2004 09:30 PM

in public i'll probably flat out deny the fact that it's even a porsche..but secretly...i want one....dammit. Ever since i got a ride in one (a really short one at that...), i can't help but wonder how it would be to have one in the garage....it's a really powerful car. The thrust it gives you as it accelerates to the ton is not unlike a ferrari, and no i'm not exagerrating, you would not believe the way it moves! You just spend the whole time wondering if you got into the right porsche!

Zonda11 03-17-2004 11:19 PM

The Turbo is cool...I like the idea of 400+ hp in an SUV ....I just wish my new van had 400+ hp.

krlos 03-17-2004 11:29 PM

Have you seen the Top Gear episode about the cayenne? I completely agree with him! Is a completely success for the engineers but who cares? they're wanted the front to look like a 911 (witch it doesn't) and as he says: it has the sex appeal like a Camel haha :lol: Porsche shouldn't have done that "mess"
