i had a 2005 cayenne S back in 05 when i first got the car. I had a lot of people strike up convesations like that In fact, one time the people at the Chinese store gave me extra free food since i drove a cayenne and told them if you really like it = you can take it for a spin. It's nice to hear stories but the best part is driving the car around and chilling like a champ...

Not as stylish, though. The Jeep looks like... Well, a Jeep; basically a box on wheels. The Cayenne looks like a sports car on steroids...

Dime a dozen here in the SF Bay Area. Now my yellow 996TT gets loads of attention. When I pull up behind someone in the yellow 996TT they don't even let me get close. The road parts in front of me. A friend of mine describes it as if there was a bee buzzing your head - you get outa the way.
When I drive my CTTS (and it's a fairly showy cayenne with 22" techarts, marine blue...) people don't even bat an eye.
For what it's worth when I switch from my 996TT to the Cayenne TTS I distinctly notice that all of the sudden the traffic around me. Sometimes a bit frustrating.

I don't really have panties being thrown on my hood, but this car is too sexy! People always strike up conversations with me at the intersections or pulling out of driveways. Last week, while I was parking in Manhattan, tourists were going crazy taking pictures of the car while I was parallel parking. As if there wasn't enough pressure of parking in such tight spots while people stare, and cars waiting in the back for me to squeeze into the spot. Later that day, some little kid was pulling his mom out of a store, pointing at the car and screaming, "look mom, it's a Porsche!"
Generally, other drivers seem to be nicer too. Other cars would let me go first on intersections, or give me right of way to pull in and out of driveways, even during heavy traffic. Most conversations I usually get start out with, "Damn, I didn't know they made Porsche SUVs!". From what I've noticed, most people get drawn in by the humongous red calipers, and see the Porsche lettering. Anyway, I just thought I'd share. I'm sure you guys have similar stories.

Where I live it's not really a big deal, although with the exterior high gloss package, black rims and dark front tint the car does look much more unique.
There's a guy who lives next to us with 4 lambo's and 3 Ferrari's, so....

Same here in Fort Collins, three or four in the gym's parking lot every day, two Turbos. No one takes a second look.
