Post Oops! Porsche Cayenne spied on their website

[IMG] versus [/IMG]

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/17/2...-geneva-debut/

While we've seen several spy shots of 2011 Porsche Cayenne prototypes and mules, plus a few renderings that purport to show the real deal, Porsche apparently let the cat out of the bag by mistake... again. On the Porsche website, an image that shows the 2011 Cayenne right in the middle of a family picture magically appeared and was apparently swapped out later to include the current generation Cayenne GTS.

The Cayenne 2.0 in the photo looks athletic and trimmer, with huge wheels and big headlights that give it a startled appearance, maybe because it was caught with its pants down. Whether the image above is 'chopped or Porsche recognized the error of its ways and took the family pic down, we don't know. What we do know is that the '11 Porsche SUV will make its debut in Geneva next month. Until then, take a larger look at the image above and let us know what you think.

If that is a real pic of the next-gen Cayenne, looks good, a lot less chunky and less bulky than the current model .

Looks a lot sportier.

Marketing ploy to create buzz? If so, it's probably working. And even if not, it's still going to work I think leading up to the "official" unveiling.

Either way, I like it. Looks great!

Looks the same, different wheels.

JC is right, Porsche has that laziest design department. Not always a bad thing.

Wow, what a difference some new proportions have done for this car.

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of think this new Cayenne is the best looking Porsche in that picture.

i like it. looks slick.
I'd buy it over any lexus SUV any day, based on looks alone.

and the panamera still looks like a fat roach.
