I think it's just the Cayenne S Diesel that has always been available in other markets but not in the US. I don't expect that to change with the 2015MY.

See: http://www.porsche.com/uk/models/cayenne/

vs: http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayenne/

Gnat you need to take Political Correctness training!



SPort Plus was badly needed as i've always thought that the current SPORT setting was too soft.

And I refuse to not use perfectly appropriate words just cause some ninny wants to get their panties in a bunch.

The knock sensor In my CTT developmentally disables my engine's timing when it senses low octane petrol.

So not being able to select the packages yet and adding all my package options manually building my 13 CD as a 15 CD comes out to $73k which is actually cheaper than if I didn't go the package route on mine and only 2-3k higher than going the package route.

Contrary to promo pages, PDCC is not a selectable option on the diesel. I believe the configurator here as it was my understanding that it's the size/shape of the engine that gets in the way of the PDCC bits, and since it appears that it's the same motor unchanged...

The link is there, but doesn't work for me... is it down now? I am still in shock that V6 Diesel was not updated, it's quite ridiculous!

Unit numbers in the US will decline with this refresh. The V6 Cayenne was Porsche's volume leading model, that's gone and Americans don't like diesels. The S has gone up the price curve, and doesn't have a V8. I guess Porsche is trying to steer "base" buyers into the Macan, which is too small for alot of people. I think this is a bad model refresh for Porsche, unit sales on the Cayenne in the US market are sure to be lower than they were - I guess they don't care because of the Macan, but I bet Range Rover Sport sales in the US pick up. They really need the "lesser" V6 slotted below the S, at a lower price point.
