With "Pfeffr" as my vanity plate, I have to go with Pepper!

I hate the moniker "pig" with a passion. I've owned a Cayenne S and still own a Cayenne turbo S and neither one was or is a "pig". I called them both "Cayenne".

No person has ever called a Cayenne a "pig" in my earshot. I only read (hear) this unveiled insult on the internet.

On second thought, I'm not sure this poll is fair. Most of the "P!g" supporters have probably committed suicide by now...

I actually like P!g. I don't generally call it that when speaking out loud, but I still think it's funny.

Cool Cayene is a Pepper! :S

Porsche refers to the Cayenne line as Peppers (reason for the name Cayenne!). Only the uninformed or Larry will refer to it as a Pig.

Read this forum and you'll see that many people who are "informed" call it a P!g. Reading the manual won't change this.

You need to stop taking this so seriously. If you can't see that it's all in jest and for fun, then maybe you should try a little less caffeine! Besides, is it all bad being a pig? Many pigs are shown with pride at the state fair every year! And pigs give us bacon - nobody will argue that is a bad thing! You just need to acknowledge that not every animal in the barn can be a thoroughbred! Pigs have a place too!

Interesting.
928 owners don't really seem to have an issue with the name 'Shark' ...

Interesting article in the latest edition of Panorama on the 924 as the true "red headed stepchild" of the Porsche family tree. No mention of the Cayenne at all!

I would love to see "P!G" on my license plate. Wonder if Texas allows the "!" on license plates........ I already have on my dash board for "Check fog lamps". Anyone have an idea how to remove? .

Cool Why so serious? ;)

Dennis,

FWIW, I do this in jest and I like to annoy ltc (aka, Larry) if you haven't noticed by now.

I suggest an audit of the IP addresses that voted once this thread is concluded. By the current results, I can only assume there were a few select individuals that voted multiple times. It's pretty clear, that "P!g" is not only the most appropriate nickname for the Cayenne, but also the most common.

Going with my sig, I'd suggest the poll be modified and a 3rd option is added: "Flying P!g"
