The 2009 version is the best looking, and the new one is just... small! It looks so different, they should have made a new car with a new name, and used the new cayenne model as that..
Cayenne is NOT ugly. It is designed to be a brute with finesse, and that is exactly what it looks like. Jeremy Clarkson is a nagging bitch, and the only reason he hates Porsche so much, is that he simply cannot find anything to nag about. They are too well designed and too well built. End of story
Such an amazing machine, forget the looks for a minute. The fact that a 2.5 ton tank can handle that good is fantastic. And they are pretty affordable now, the second hand market is full of the first generation Cayenne's for less than €20K.
I know what I'm going to get when I'm making that kind of money. :D
@Janusha dude a lot of stuff in the touareg is designed by porsche not the other way around.. be sure ur right before u comment ;-) porsche has a lot of experience with off road and they have worked with vw in the past so they started the cayenne/touareg together and porsche designed most of both except the exterior and engine/gearbox etc of the touareg.. and im not even a real porsche fan ;-)
I really dont like Porsches. They are too german for my taste. However there is no denying their success and the technological masterpieces that they are. Also I dont mind much which came first. The Touareg or the Cayenne. Platform sharing is common and usually a good thing. The Bentley Continental GT is a VW Phaeton. This is perfectly fine since its all whithin the VW group.
i just think its a great allround car and not a pointless one like an Bmw X5 which u cant even buy with offroad tires... and the cayenne is great value for money and it doesn't have the big problem most porsche's etc have and thats u cant drive them every day.. with a cayenne u can and with a big smile on ur face while u let all the other suv's behind you and no problem if you accidentally run in to a desert.... ;-) u dont have to treat it as a supercar..
Probably the best overall car you can get today regardless of price is a BMW X5. Its more car than anyone will ever need and tyres ? Put on what you like. Obviously dont expct to see one at the dealers with enormous mudding tyres. The reason you wouldnt use a Porsche for every day car would be the thought of maintaining its pricetag for when you want to sell it. Not a lack of capabilities.
@Janusha dude a x5 totally sucks with offroad use and was build to be fast and tough on road suv.. that why there are no offroad tyres available... its not really designed for off road its designed to look good while you bring your kids to school in a safe way with it.... with a proper suv like a cayenne its posibble to bring your kids safe to school and then climb a mountain with it... and maintaining a cayenne is not that bad and if your a true suv user u drive it all the way till the end..
Most people dont need to pull lumber out of the woods or reach a mountain top. The sporty SUV market is rather small. There is the BMW X5 - X6, Cayenne and Toyota Landcruiser and the top end Land Rovers. None of them are for heavy work. As is reflected by their rather steep price.
@mondeost2202008 rear of a 2003/4 cayenne nice! Rear of a Panamera eeeeeehwww! Ugliest rear on a porsche evar! i agree the new cayenne is nice all around ;-)
@Steynvdv Hate the new rear though. I'll agree, the old Cayenne rear was better. The new one looks like a vandalized version of an Audi Q5's rear end.
Should've kept the rear end design and given it some LED rear lights.
lol Ferdinant Porsche started with building off road vehicle's and such..
im happy porsche joins the 4x4 game again cuz they still build great 4x4's.. ;-)
(another fun thing: lamborgini started with building tractors...)
And no one should buy a car cuz of its logo... pll should buy a good car and the Cayenne is a great car even though it has a porsche logo on it.. really stupid to judge a car on its logo...
@Steynvdv actually the cayenne is my fav suv lol,prob is,the brand image,i mean i dont care about the badge,but im afraid that in the future our children will view porsche as a luxury company instead of a sportscarmaker
@KPKonliner haha ok well i dont believe porsche is turning into an luxury suv company and i dont think it ever will.. they only have 5 different suv's.. and theyre all just 5 different versions of the cayenne.. it might be that they're going to build a smaller version of the cayenne in the future (just like vw and bmw and audi with theyre suv's..).
cayenne is nice, but can't see why anyone would buy it over a range rover - looks much worse, and range rover interior & technology is AWESOME. a range rover would even get better mpg, and thats something, for a rangie
@Freddiewgbs But for an SUV the Cayenne handles sooo much better, even if it is less spacious and can't climb as many rocks. And also it is more reliable.
Im not a porsche fan however, I love this suv. Its not ugly, I think it looks great out performs almost all other suv's and its loaded with awesome gadgets. Whats not to like?
It's one of those cars where in the real world you'd choose one or the other - Landrover still make the best off roaders in my opinion! Mercedes or BMW for your sports saloons.
I never thought I'd see a Top Gear review near my home town - Portland, Dorset (Host of Water Olympics 2012)
The 2010 Cayenne looks FAR better. Jeremy hates EVERY Porsche even though the 2010 911 PDK beats his precious Ferrari 458 from 0-60. The new 911 absolutely smoked a GT-R, ZR-1 and even the R8 V-10 on M5board. Germany make the best cars no question about it. BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi.. they INVENTED the car for god sake.
@metrkhope never cayenne beats everything and just because the brits can´t admit that germans build best cars in the world the try to be funny and make stupid comments like this!
I thought I only liked Germany because of the country sides and the cities, but they have such goergous cars. Merc, BMW, Porsche, Volkswagon, Audi, lots more great cars and I think England and Italy and America make good cars. England for its Jags and its Land Rovers, Italy for its Ferraris and its Lamborghinis and America for its Fords and its Chevys.
I dunno why everyone thinks these are so ugly... I don't have a problem with them! I actually like them ( as a Porsche enthusiast, I see that they were only making it look like a Porsche, and I think they did a good job).
@maneofcd Right! Jeremy is an English lover!!! He thinks every English guy, woman or thing is the greatest exists!!! That's why I don't like him... If Aston Martin makes the most ugly car exists, he'll say it's fine! I think he has a hesitation with German cars! He said the same for BMW M5...
Does look like a bit of a barbie doll car! You would have to win the lottery or be in serious debt to have one of these impractical cars. I will agree with Jeremy on this occasion... For the money they're ugly! Sorry if you own one!
Why would anyone pay £70,000 for a car that will do 160mph... Dickheads... The speed limit on UK motorways is 70mph and they're too fuckin' big to park! He should have dropped a piano on it!
@BLIZZARDIBLO preach it my man, people are soo envious. this car is amazing, to think it can do all it does withough breaking a sweat. its beautiful too. its an suv people, dont expect exotic car looks on a machine designed to go off road.
Just don't get the appeal of this thing - for buyers I mean, I totally understand why Porsche builds it. It's ugly, obscenely heavy, thirsty, too expensive and none of its owners would EVER take it off road, so SUV capability is meaningless.
If you like it's vibe, just get it's far less-expensive (and far more attractive) fraternal twin, the VW Tuareg.
the new model was a big improvement on looks, my parents have had both of these cars, and i love them, yes they drink fuel, but as 4x4's go this is the best in every way, its luxury, power..and the sound of that exhaust is sexual..its got presence
I agree with you one everything except the 4x4 part. My 01' Jeep WJ will destroy a Cayenne off-road, but I was raised Porsche too. And the Cayenne has no competitors really. BMW X's are just boring :yawn:
wow it's HD :\
