Meh.

And I'm seriously having a hard time seeing those "facelifted changes". At least the difference between 955 & 957 is more than noticeable.

Diesel S. 5.7 seconds to 62. That is fast for a Cayenne, isn't it?

BTW, that yellow Cayenne Hybrid in the pictures seems to be the Motor Trend long term tester, actually a 2011 model that they wrote several articles on. Poor job of the editor to throw in gratuitous photos of an old model, in an article about a future model without clarifying!

Cayenne S currently rated 0-60 in 5.6 seconds so the gas and diesel V8's are about equal in acceleration. Given the diesel's much lower rev limit, I'd be surprised if it could match the gas model's 160mph top speed.

What the 958 needs is an ***-lift.

Actually I think its a race to be the first manufacturer who can add programmable xmas lights, complete with chasing, strobing, lettering and clear/multicolor side markers

I like it as-is, but I'm weird in other ways too.

An a$$-lift won't do (it's already Asian looking). What that a$$ needs is - just a completely new, better looking one

Here is an artists concept of the future Porsch SUV a$$ ... looks like it is inspired by the new Panamera concept rear, that was stated to be the new design direction for Porsche.

I think this would bring it out of the "generic asian" rear-end cliché!
