the mirrors are very functional when used properly

too many try to make them accessory rearview and lose the blindspot function...

Speaking of BMW's ... the hottest thing about the new Cayenne, might be parking it beside the new X5!

Please tell me it isn't so! I used to own an X5

Hopefully an elaborate hoax to confuse the "spy-shot" guys!

Is the top photo supposed to be a Porsche? With that square grill, protruding tail-light housings, and tiny wheels and tires? I don't think so. If that was posted somewhere as a spy shot of a Cajun or Cayenne I think someone made a mistake.

Unless you're just pulling our leg....

Mike, I think the top photo is the disguised shot of the upcoming X5.

No, not at all a Cayenne!!!

Top photo an actual spy-shot of a disguised 2014 BMW X5 prototype in testing. Bottom photo, an artists conception of what the actual 2014 X5 will look like based on the spy-shots.

Here is some video of it in action ...

And since this is a Porsche forum, here is one that caught my eye as a "2015 Cayenne Coupe"

Somehow, I don't see this one materializing on the current shared VW platform. But style looks so much nicer than the X6 if you want an SUV without the practicality!

BMW hasn't made a car that will compete with the equivalent Porsche on performance in some time... at least none available in the US.

No reason to imagine they will now.
