for an SUV, I think this is the worst design ever for a SUV.
suv is supposed to look somewhat rugged and tough.
but yet it still sells because it's a porsche.

That's a interesting assessment seeing how most SUVs lack "rugged and tough" design features...Originally Posted by Tantrix

In reality they have morphed into CUVs but classification is still under the SUV umbrella so it's still used as an interchangeable word when talking about CUVs. No different than someone saying they need a Kleenex when they mean Tissue.
I have no problem with the Cayenne or Macan because they are meant to be performance utes tackling primarily asphalt and concrete, typically being lower and wider than the traditional SUV, while still being able to perform light off roading, more so than AWD coupes and sedans

Porsche has a loyal consumer base and is growing every year. They don't have to make dramatic changes because it sells, sells, sells. They can stay true to the original design and pull it off well.
When I see any model Porsche, I can't tell what year it may be, and I don't care - it's a **** hauling Porsche!

I for one won't miss the base engine. I had one as a rental for a little over two weeks ago (until this past sunday), and it was the ideal combination of slow and bad fuel economy. But at the same time, I still had a great time driving it. It was comfortable, handled great for a vehicle of its size and was pretty engaging to drive. The exhaust actually sounded really good over 2800rpm or so also.
I don't know if we'll want another SUV when we replace the RX350 in the next 12-18 months....but if we do, the Cayenne makes the short list.

Eh, the only Porsches that interest me are the 911 and Cayman. Glad these things sell well so Porsche can continue building its real cars...

The money Porsche makes from the Cayenne is used to help develop cars like the 911 and 918, everyone wins..
