Default 2010 Porsche Cayenne II

Here's some sketches from edmunds.com:








2010 Porsche Cayenne looks less like an SUV and more like a Porsche

There's a refresh on the way for the 2008 Porsche Cayenne, but with our latest photo illustrations you can see what's in store for the full redesign expected in 2010. The drawings were penned after consulting with sources close to Porsche's Weissach design center.

The 2010 Porsche Cayenne will be the first full redesign of the surprisingly popular German sport-utility and, according to our sources, the styling direction will lean toward a sleeker, less utilitarian shape. To get that look, the next-generation Cayenne will feature a more steeply raked windshield, shorter greenhouse and blacked-out B- and C-pillars. The rear end will look more like Infiniti's FX45 sport-ute thanks to gentle curves in place of the current Cayenne's heavy-looking, upright D-pillars.

Passenger space inside won't increase much, but Porsche has to make sure this Cayenne offers some kind of packaging advantage over the Panamera sedan that will debut in 2009. Although the Panamera is expected to be a low slung 4-door "coupe," it will use the same engines as the Cayenne and may very well offer all-wheel drive as well. The Cayenne's higher seating position and extra cargo room might still draw SUV lovers, but it will no longer be the only Porsche for those looking for a more spacious 911.

Those drawings have about a FOOT less fender gap than the current Cayenne, so I'm a bit skeptical.

But if it looks something like that - woohoo!

So the other day I was out late one night and a little drunk, and I swear to god I saw a Cayenne banging an Infinti FX. I guess the FX got pregnant because this thing is clearly their love child.

I agree with ya. My first initial thought was it resembled an Infiniti FX...

+2. Everything but the front end looks like an FX. Not original, but still looks good.

Looks a lot like the current FX... It would be a shame to take it from a capable SUV to a good-for-nothing crossover...

It is definitely less ugly than the current Cayenne.

To me, the current Cayenne looks like a sneaker (as do the Infiniti FX models).
