Looks more like an inline-6.

Could that be an indication that the facelift Cayenne will have a 3rd row seat like the XC90?

If you look at these photos carefully, the facelift isn't much of a facelift at all. Here're the things I noticed:
1. Obviously, different grill, more like the current Turbo (what will the new Turbo look like?)
2. Front fog light becomes round
3. Some tweaks under the headlight covers. The shape of the cover doesn't apear to have changed.
4. A slight bend in one corner of the rear light
5. Exhaust coming out of the rear bumper

That's about it. All the mods seem to be inconsequential. Any of the tuners can supply you with far more dramatic mods.

Except for the 40+hp increase on the CV6... that 3.6L FSI is an AWESOME engine!

I am not crazy about the plastic over the wheel wells.

Having an '04 CTT, I do not see much to get excited about with the facelift. Nice soft mods...nothing else. Except of course engines. Agree that the bump for the S and v6 will be welcomed by those fans.

Now....If I could just get some updated Nav CDs....I'd find true bliss

Is DSG going to be available for the facelift?

Yes, the DSG (or PDK depending if you speak VAG or PAG) is in the back along with the 3rd row seat, CDROM NAV update and MOST iPod adapter.

On a SLIGHTLY more serious note, DSG is not quite reliable enough with high HP output (Porsche) engines.

I still like the first GEN front end...

P.S. That's my sister in law, she's looking for modeling/acting work...

Wow! When you are with your wife, do you only think about your sis-in-law most of the time...or EVERY SINGLE TIME?
