Wow, "pimp my ride" rejects. That white Cayenne looks like a PT Cruiser.

On the other hand, those folks at X5 World only have so much room to talk. IMO, the X5 looks as if it's some type of cobbled together vengeance weapon built in the Bavarian Alps by hidden pockets of Waffen SS At least those Cayennes started out life looking graceful.

I have to give it to them - they made a fuggly car worse!

I'd buy the VW version just for the better looking front-end alone.

Why oh why did they ever think that they could photoshop a pair of 911 headlamps onto a big fat SUV!

It's tragic - and I hate the fact that when I drive past my local Porsche dealership, all I see is rows of ugly Peppers!!

Chris.

I saw color matched rims on a couple of Rolls' and Bentley's while in Miami. White on White was one of the colors I saw.

each wheel has individual hydrolics (low ride style) so hit a button and you got 20inches of right front lift and lots of + camber!!

When is this going to be on TV? Love the Cayenne hate the mods. I must say however I have seen 996s here in Germany made to look like a GT that ended up looking awful also. In short a person with too much time, too much money and poor taste, I think I lived next to them once.

I really don't know why I wrote that.
