Default Are Cayennes not selling?

This is a dealership selling a new turbo. Only $88k. Anyone interested.

Cayenne still for sale....

That dealer is trying to seel two Cayennes, two boxsters, and 2 911.

Should I be surprised that dealers are selling new cars on E-bay?

And this seller is yelling that all Cayennes are reduced....

Not a good time to be a Porsche dealer...

Well another prosepctive, this site isn't gospel by any means, but its run by people who used to be in the automotive advertising industry. According to them there is some 2 month supply of Cayennes... Also according to them, the Hummer H2s aren't doing too well.

have a looksie, but don't believe everything they say, it is a different perspective though.

from http://www.autoextremist.com/page6.shtml can you say...

oops...
We said it first, and we'll say it again: 1. Porsche will rue the day they ever made the decision to play in an arena they have no business being in, and 2. Now that Porsche is just another car company, they're finding themselves having to worry about all sorts of brands they'd never even give a second look at in the past. Chairman Wendelin Wiedeking has managed to "dumb-down" the Porsche brand and inexorably alter the future course of the company in ways he didn't have the vision to anticipate - all in one fatal swoop.

You know? I guess it gets beat to death, especially among the 944 crowd (particularly we NA guys), but it just bothered me to see this old woman poorly parrallel parking her brand shiny spanking new Porsche Cayenne Turbo into a spot in town. The 450hp helped her get over the curb, but I think 350hp would've done just fine...

Maybe this thing just got back from Moab, but man...I just don't get it...

I was at the Chicago Auto Show this year. It was the first year the Cayenne was shown. It got little attention from the crowd in general while the Hummer display was an absolute mob scene.

I have seen many Hummer H2's on the roads around here, but not one Cayenne.

though speed IS nice (), we probably wouldn't be 944 owners if it was the only factor in choosing a car . . .even if the cayenne IS faster than a 951, i'm still much more likely to make my next car a 951 . . . .

anyway, I don't really mind the cayenne. it IS a depature for porsche as a company, though . . . . .

Just wait until one upsets you at a PCA auto x. Go ahead and say it couldn't happen, but drive one first.
