[QUOTE]Averaging just 91 problems per 100 (PP100) vehicles, Porsche tops the overall nameplate rankings.
Porsche’s success can be partly attributed to the all-new Cayman, which tops the compact premium sporty car segment. Porsche is followed in the rankings by Lexus, Hyundai, Toyota and Jaguar, respectively.QUOTE]
You think the Cayenne is considered a VW vehicle

I'd like to go on record by saying....
I didn't say it.....but I was thinking it.
However, could someone please define how long 'Initial' quality lasts?
Shamus, move over and make some more room in Mudman2's Cayenne forum penalty box

However, for publically chatting with me in this forum, you will likely be added to everyone's "Ignore List" like I am....here, allow me to demonstrate:
Hey everybody....bite me!

This is from a previous post in the forum regarding JD Power rankings and the Cayenne from May last year:
From August 2005 Pano, page 74
Porsche customer satisfaction reported to be slipping, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study released in May. The study is conducted annually and reports on a sampling of the number of customer-reported defects or complaints per 100 vehicles sold. The industry average for the current study is 118 problems per 100 vehicles, compared to 119 in 2004. At the top of the list for best quality in terms of least number of customer-reported problems is Lexus , at 81 problems per vehicle, followed by Jaguar at 88, BMW at 95, Buick at 100 and Cadillac and Mercedes at 104.
Near the bottom of the list, in 32nd place, are Porsche and VW with 147, followed by Land Rover and Mazda with 149, with Suzuki bringing up the rear with 151.
As has been discussed here, the MY05 Cayenne brought and end to the alpha (03) and beta (04) versions of the Cayenne.

Some additional facts/disclosure about the 2006 survey.
The 2006 Initial Quality Study is based on responses from 63,607 purchasers and lessees of new 2006 modelyear cars and trucks surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The redesigned IQS is based on a new 217-question battery—up from 135 in previous years—to provide manufacturers with richer information to improve problem determination and drive product improvement. The study also groups models in a revised J.D. Power and Associates vehicle segmentation list.
The 2006 study has been redesigned for the first time since 1998. Improvements to the study include:
• An enhanced questionnaire for owners to aid in identification of both defect and design problems
• Expanded coverage of new technologies
• Additional details about the problems reported to help OEMs better identify how to address them
The full report is here
http://www.jdpa.com/corporate/news/r...df/2006082.pdf
My Cayenne has been trouble free in terms of suspension, engine plant, drive train, etc and has performed flawlessly. It is these little quirky gremlins that
but at the same time provide all sorts of humor around the padded forum. Latest issues - check dipped beam light and loss of comfort controls.

The loss of comfort controls is simple to fix....have the dealer replace the (rear) comfort control module with the latest revision (there have been something like nine to date) and program it via PIWIS using an image off of a 'virgin' Cayenne on the lot. Again, simple fix.

[QUOTE=MadFox]
I'm still here, but most people have added me to their "Ignore" lists, so I don't show up on THEIR view of the forum.
That's OK, as soon as PAG/PCNA/dealer abandons them and they desperately need answers/solutions to their problems that they can shove in PAG/PCNA's face.......they'll find the strength to let me out of the cage.

Can you actually tell when people have you on Ignore? Or is it just that the Cayenne Ownership induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder morphing into paranoia?
Of course he is hanging around here - his only 2 Porsches are garage queens and Boston has seen 5,847,987,584,975,689 inches of rain over the last month.
He' my hero too!
I may trade my Cayenne for a Hybrid
(sorry - Smilie overload today)
Back to our story:
See Lewis was dead on with his Alpha and Beta analysis.

Back to our story:
The success of Porsche, which jumped to No. 1 in the nameplate rankings, can be partly attributed to the totally new Cayman mid-engine hard-top sports car, which came in at the top of the compact premium sporty car segment. In addition, the German car maker made a number of quality improvements to its Cayenne sport-utility vehicle.
"We study the results of quality studies ... and we go to the factory and make changes," says Tony Fouladpour, Porsche spokesman. For example, he says the Cayenne key fob was improved so someone can hold it and lock the car from further away than previously.

If no one responds, then I MUST be on their ignore list.
