Default Why "Pig"...?

Have owned a couple Cayennes over the years and think they are easily the most capable SUV's going, so

Why are they referred to as "Pigs"...?

The 928 is affectionately and commonly referred to as The Shark.

The 955 (and its subsequent P!glets/variants) is affectionately referred to as the P!g

Simple.

If Rosie O'Donnell mated with a Lexus/Hyundai SUV ... I give you the Cayenne.

Ugly doesn't even begin to describe it ... no wait, I forgot about the Panamera....



Damn you, I KNEW this was a trick question.

5 posts and no "STFF"? Tsk-tsk-tsk.

Allegretto, this has been covered by, at least, a 10 page thread before

I refuse to call my Cayenne a "pig". I know it's become a term of endearment but it carries derogatory undertones. I love my Cayenne!

First of all it's P ! G, not Pig. Note the exclamation mark .. there is history here and even a T-Shirt

Secondly, now I am going to have to send a sh!tload of tranks to Lewis. Thank you very much!!!

I'll assume the OP really didn't know and take the heat off them by admitting that it took me starting to type out the Google search for the "Pepper" reference to click...

Ah, yes...the dreaded "!"

I am glad he's not here to see this thread. He is working his day job at the gates of Hell, waiting for the arrival of the Evil Dr. W.

I hope he saves a seat for me .. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Thanks Pops.

The only thing that saved the P!g from being the ugliest Porsche ever produced was the Panamera.
The bar had been reset pretty damned high with that disaster.
