Im didn't say it looked LIKE an Aztek. I just said I didn't like the Gemballa's front end.....in some ways, it is worse than the Aztek's, to my eyes. Now...having said that, if you note the rest of my post, I said the REST of it looked pretty good...one of the best SUV's yet.
If they would just get rid of those huge grille ovals up front and make it look more like a regular Cayenne, the front end would be much better.

Porsche should never make a sedan it would futher lower there image. I think making the Cayenne was also a bad move especially when they come out with the v6 pos

They are actually looking into a 4 door 997 style car.

Yeah - sorry about the mis-quote. I hate it when I do that!

I'd still take one.

Everyone said the Cayenne would lower posrches image. It's been out for a year now and... no one cares! Its built like a porsche and drives like one too. As long as they continue to build sportscars like they used too (and if you've seen the new 997 it seems they are) then I don't think theres any problems with image issues.

I kinda agree with you, that front end is as bad, if not worse than an Aztek.

Actually, I would love to see a sports sedan from Porsche that competes with the likes of BMW, & I see no reason that would affect the image of Porsche. It's a way better idea than a Porsche SUV.
There are reports they're working on a 928 like, but 4 door Porsche. Personally I can't wait, I always love the 928
