I think Porsche is going to suffer for this. At least the Cayenne models available now had some modicum of performance with the NA and Turbo 8 cylinders. Now a VW V6........

Oh, BTW, the base price of the V6 Cayenne is about the same price for a decently optioned V8 VW Touareg.

 

That's good news for me because now I may have a chance at the stop-light derby when I'm driving my Sienna.


BTW the Tourague is a nice car, and it may have a V10 diesel and a W12 engine for the US market, those will be nice cars, far nicer than the Cayenne.

 

The real question is - could it properly tow a trailer with a race car and all required tools and spare parts?

I like the porsche, because it looks funny but goes fast. I don't like the hundai(sp?) because its slow and ugly...

 

The Cayenne looks like a rounded AMC Eagle with a Porsche front end.

 

Touareg has a 7,700 pound towing capacity. Both the V6 an V8 are rated the same. I suspect the upcoming turbodiesel tow more easily, regardless of wether they up the actual rating.

Drives very nice! I took one out a few weeks ago to consider as a replacement for my Land Rover. $35K will buy you a lightly optioned V6, $40K for the V8.

 

like it or not porsche will sell a ton of these. we will see fake turbo V6 cayennes running around with wanna be playas (ooohhh....and don't forget the ballas)in em.
