Every single time I see it just reminds me of what the hell was porsche thinking when they designed the car. Serioulsy they must of lit up a crack pipe and then started with design and the whole concept of the car. It just doesnt not get any uglier than that.

That should make Cadillac happy :-) They are faster, more aesthetically pleasing and not overly priced.

Whent he Cayenne was released I thought the same thing... It grew on me... Then the Caymen, same thing, and my wife is thinking about buying one... Now this "thing"...

I'm sure it'll grow on me... But I'm a HUGE old Datsun Zcar fan and this thing reminds me of the 74 Datsun 260Z 2+2... YUK!

It is hugely heavy looking....and to me, the quoted pricing makes it a sure failure.

100k should be the v8.....

70k the v6


120k the turbo....maybe 140k


And, it is still ugly. If I were in that market, why not get a MB CLS AMG? or a Masserati....or a Cadillac and keep the change for a used 997TT...

Hope it is not as ugly as it seems or they'll lose their shirt.

Yeah but the Cayenne was not even combarably ugly. They didnt do that bad for porsche's first SUV but this looks like a Cayenne made love to a Carrera Gt, 997 turbo, and a boxter and this is the retarted child lol.

I would not spend 20 grand on that thing it just really doesnt not deserve to where the Porsche badge.

It actually looks like it should only be about a 100 or 200 pounds lighter than a Cayenne.
