^^The Q7 is also available with 7-seats, I think an important thing when buying a luxury SUV/4WD.
Yeah that white Cayenne in the pic looks ghastly.

Ugly Ugly Ugly.

There are more ugly BMW models though but both still sell.

When you think about it, what would you have?…Cayenne, Toureg or Q7….Q7 just for the interior quality alone!

Wooo hooo I’ve been harping on about the first ever Porsche diesel foe weeks, now the pennies dropped.
Come on Captain its a first essential step for Porsche in reducing their average emmissions levels as required by the Euro Nazis. I’m sure the Audi 4.2 litre engine will follow when they have sorted the suspension set-up out the accomodatethe extra weight.
Yes it’s ugly but I kinda like it, but the Q7 is the choice for me.

The Cayenne is poorly built, tastelessly designed and quite simply incapable next to it’s competition. But people buy it because it’s a Porsche. They buy it because they desperately hope that the neighbours and the other mums at school will think they are richer than they really are.

This is Porsche’s whore model. They offer the Cayenne because it makes them a lot of money, while the true Porsche enthusiasts shudder in embarrasment.

What’s next Porsche? A people mover? A city car?

If the Cayenne really had to have a diesel the minimum should have been the 4.2 V8, which at least has Porsche-style grunt in something of this weight. What the Hell are they playing at?
Looking forward to the 2.0 Boxster diesel, but they might have to buy the engines from Subaru.

A SsangYong trained designer must have infiltrated the Porsche design team?
Bloody awful!
