Looks like I'll just buy out my lease, a new one just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I am not sure why they have to ruin the looks and make all these silly design changes every couple years. I could see if they were an improvement but to make it look like Hyundai is going overboard.

Clarkson will say "Porsche design guys are still a bunch of lazy sots. The new Cayenne, like the new 911, looks almost the same as the previous model".

I guess I am in the minority in thinking it is an improvement over the outgoing model.

I think the interior is great, and the exterior really does look more athletic.....at least to me.

I'm diggin' it. Weight loss is great! Center stack/console is big improvement. Better looking exterior. PTV from the 911 turbo now available. 8 speed transmission. 1000w, 16 speaker Burmeister sound system.

PASM! ha!

19" wheels now standard on Turbo! double HA!

It appears the seat backs now fold flat and the trailer hitch folds in against the bumper! ha!

Retained PDCC and air suspension.

Nice...very nice. I likee!

Hey, Guys,

In case you want some more pics and vids

Torture Testing the 2011 Porsche Cayenne in the Dubai Desert

A Video Introduction to the new 2011 Porsche Cayenne

For what it's worth, I like it. We were looking at a 2010 as our new "dog hauler" but we're thinking now of waiting. I like the design, the interior improvement, the performance improvement and the fuel efficiency. Unless they start giving away the 2010s, I think we're going to wait...

i dont like the tail lights
wow a 6spd stick is offered in the base model
the interior good great. I hate to ask what "full" leather will cost.
the dimensions appear to be similar to the BMW X5.

i love the new design, and the weight loss was absolutely essential. Curious to see the pricing.

It's so you don't confuse it with the VW..Audi...whatever.

Nope. Too much of a risk towing with a PDK. Warranty exposure.
Same reason it's been held back on the Turbo Carreras...no surprise.
