I think in many ways it looks like the Cayenne should have looked like in the first place. A vehicle of this size needs a bit more length, and the new Cayenne got it. The proportions are in much better balance now.

I'm particularly happy to see they moved away from the metal covered B and C pillars. I always thought those chopped-up the side window area.

I do agree that the tail lights and excessive badging are less than ideal. However, removing the badges is easy.

Same reason it's been held back on the Turbo Carreras...no surprise.
Huh? The 2010 997 Turbo is available with PDK. C&D just ran a comparo test against the ZR1 in the April issue. What am I missing?

Sorry, typo should have said 'had' been...the Panamera Turbo was the PDK guinea pig.
There are still concerns regarding the long term reliability at the higher HP/TQ levels of the Turbo and/or GT2.

AFAIK, all the Cayenne test mules were automatics from the start...the PDK was never fitted. Given some time, it may change.

You can only do so much with an Audi Q5 and make it look like a Porsche.
I drove behind an Q5 on the way home today...yup, it's the Cayenne...good thing it's the same car company now.

Like the new look. Really didnt think old one was bad on Ext. Was not a fan of old Int. But the new one is good. As far as backside only looks bad if you're following it.

Like the look of front looks sharp. Looks lot more sports car than Prev Models.

Would way rather have this than any Merc , Ranger Rover , Bmw and for Sure the Toyota Aka Lexus.

Will be placing the wife a build in May.
