I wasn't doing a good job of referring to the issues they have been having since the boxster, 996, cayennes bores etc…

In my perfect world Porsche would make an engine that is bullet proof to 100,000 miles. And they guarantee it.

Standard navigation (like everybody else), standard camera (they had one on a small car I rented the other day), USB port outside the box so I don't have a cord running out of the center arm rest, just get rid of 2d Cats so we don't have to do it ourselves, how about a V8 diesel engine?

You seriously need to do some more research. Many agencies, in many countries rate Porsche as one of the most reliable manufactures.

The Cayenne bore issue is hardly and issue. Such a tiny tiny tiny fraction of Cayennes have had this issue that it shouldn't even be mentioned.

We have far more 100-350k mile Cayennes on this forum alone than there have ever been bore issues.

Larger mirrors? Mine stick out maybe 30 cm from each side of the truck making it a very tight fit into the garage. No, I can't retract them because w/o them, how the heck am I supposed to back in?

Cup holders? You want to eat and drink, go to a restaurant. If you can't hold out eating until you get there, you need therapy (impulse control).

More air vents? Why? Are you suffering from suffocating passengers?

Hi reg rear camera? What does yours fail to resolve now?

What does the USB port do for you? Are you so bored driving that you need to be entertained by whatever pumps through there? I suggest you get a TTS and drive in a 'sporting manner'. That's plenty of entertainment and needs no new ports.

Parking sensors? You need to be told when you are parked? I have no idea what this may be and probably don't want them either.

Damn cup holders. I gave a sad sigh of disgust when Porsche gave up the good fight and gave into to the grossly corpulent American market.

Maybe you need to park it in an appropriately sized place then. The wing mirrors are too small and contribute to horrible blind spots.

Because you never pick up things on the way home and need somewhere besides your lap to put drinks? Because you never take long trips where stopping every time you get thirsty is silly. Because you don't have a medical issue that requires you to keep well hydrated?

Get off your high horse with the therapy BS and realize that others have legitimate needs. The two holders in the center console put drinks in an awkward and impeding position.

I'm glad you never carry passengers or pets in the rear area on hot days. Some of us need to and the vents at the back of the center console are not adequate to appropriately move air back there.

Since you apparently like to back into inappropriately small parking spaces and are otherwise OK with useless mirrors, you could probably benefit from them yourself…

Personally I prefer them as an option as I don't like them (one of my regrets is that I went with a package that included them). Same for the backup cameras too, but others need/want them and I'm not going to deride them for such a choice until they start talking about mandating such things be required.

There are all kinds of legitimate reasons to have and use cup holders that have nothing to do with your belief that they make people fatter. Putting a drink (regardless of if you are actually drinking from it) in a decent cup holder is far safer that it being in your lap or loose in the cabin (e.g. tossed in a seat or on the floor).

Ok, so maybe only the bad news gets the press.
In general i would like to see Porsche having a better warranty. If they are the worlds best cars then they shouldn't have to worry about offering a warranty like Hyundai. And then we wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of class action law suits for IMS bearings, coolant tubes, coils, drive shafts etc…
Things IMO should be covered.

I want a curb rash sensor. My wife keeps curbing the crap out of the rims. Mike

you go

If Porsche added them, they'd easily be a $2k option with a weird acronym

Well, I'm sure Hyundai has their share of issues. But since it's largely a non-enthusiast non-premium brand most of those issues rant being voiced on forums.

Secondly, Hyundia chose their 10 year/100k warranty as a marketing ploy. From my understanding it's also pretty easy to extend a Porsche warranty to these limits.

.....FWIW, my Cayenne Turbo only cost about $1000 in parts outside normal maintenance up to 100k. Which is less than 1% the original cost of the car. Seems like a reasonable amount.

Well good luck on that list. The current cayenne is squarely aimed at woman…not men. Here on long island Cayenne's are very common. Haven't seen a man driving a non 955 yet.

Legit list of items should be equipped on the high end Porsche SUV.

However, I doubt it though.... just like !phone (welcome to yesterday's technology, compared to every growing @ndroid O/S), Porsche has been busy catching up, not been on the innovation side. Porsche engineers will over complicate stuff once again (over engineering) as always w/o much of accomplishment.

Hell, wife's current generation Lexus RX350 is equipped with the every possible option offered by Lexus. Can't even compare with the current generation Porsche Cayenne when it comes to the technology, but I agree Cayenne is much much much enjoyable to drive than RX, but RX is equipped with more convenient features.

It might be happening!

4-zone climate is available in the diesel in other markets, Europe and Asia.

Doesn't help the North American markets. It's the DPF system that's in the way.

How about adding a sunglasses holder like every other car currently made? Surely some clever engineer and designer can figure out how to get one in an overhead console.
