"But under the hood is a 1.8L that apparently is derived from the Rover K-Series family from back in 1988. The B35′s 1.8L is turbocharged with an output of 164-hp. The other engine option is a naturally aspirated 2.0L with 150-hp. Transmission choices include a CVT or a five-speed manual."

The Cayenne better run for the hills!

Put a diesel in that B35 that has some ***** and you have people that will buy it against VW Touareg and Q5/7 and Porsche at half the price of course. Add a 10 year warranty like the Koreans do and you have a competitor that is going to keep- a lot of car mgfers awake at night. Cayenne was the major seller for Porsche based on the Porsche Magazine...

It's not as simple as stuffing it with a more powerful engine. They also have to worry about the copied CVT tranny being able to handle the power, and the crappy suspension able to handle the additional weight, etc. Yeah they might lure a few suckers into buying it in China, but I doubt they will pass even the basic DOT safety certifications here...

it looks like a knock off the outgoing Porsche that was released in 2003. I think they are at best 10 years off with the design and another 15 years in terms of build quality. If this is what one can afford, no problem. But no way in shape or form this is a Cayenne competition. My 2 dinero.
