On scale of Rosie O' Donnell to Jessica Alba its def. a Jessica Alba.........


The rear tails remind me a lot of the new M37 about to be released by Infiniti and from some angles you can tell they tried to use the Panamera tails styling cues. Overall its gorgeous.

I'm with you on this. I've always liked the Cayenne since the beginning despite what a lot of others have felt about it. This design is greatly improved

After seeing a few Panameras on the road lately, I can't see why anyone would want that car when they could have one of these.

I also agree that the MPG of this is pretty amazing. I'm really, really, liking what I see of this so far...

If we adjust Euro cycle to EPA by using rough formula of dividing Euro number by 1.3 we get the following MPG

Cayenne Diesel: 24,44
Cayenne S: 17,23
Cayenne Turbo: 15,73
Cayenne S Hybrid (9l/100km est.): 20,1

doesnt look as classy as it should be

i like the sportiness but i think it took some of the brand prestige away as this car is starting to look "younger" than the previous Cayenne

interior is a big thumbs up. however, it makes the shifter look huge. they should have opted for an electronic lever

That interior looks way too plain IMO, and the rear is awful. Aside from that I think it looks great.
