Wayne, when are we getting rid of the Cayenne forum?
The last five posts are spam and date back to 29 September. Even the mods don't visit it.

The Cayenne probably served its purpose for Porsche AG. I say "AG" because it didn't do much for the community. I wonder how many Cayenne owners are one Porsche owners. Anyway. I'm sure the company made lots of money, enough to buy a big stake in VW, no? And, they are brilliant to let it go rather than try to support a faltering project. I don't fault Porsche for doing the Cayenne. Maybe they won't venture so far out nest time.
Although the Panamera is out there. Will we have a Panamera forum? Only time will tell. Edited for spelling Last edited by milt; 10-22-2006 at 01:18 PM.. |

I didn't realize the Cayenne was canceled. Was there an official reason given?

It's only being cancelled for one year as they redesign it. It will be back fall of 07 as a 08.

Actually, dealers have ample stock of the 06 models - the factory didn't think it wise to continue production into the "07" model year, when the new "08" version will be out shortly.

Whenever I see one pass me, I try and look at the driver. They are usually driven by people that don't fit the demographic of "enthusiasts".
Maybe they are, but I have never seen people that look like them at the track or any other PCA events.

Well, there is a problem with the Cayenne that Wayne may not have realized.
1) It's as disposable as an Explorer. Sure, it costs much more, but look who drives it? Do they look like enthusiasts of loud, smelly, whining air-cooled cars? No. When they tire of the machine, they'll trade in -- probably on a Mini Cooper or Prius. 2) The problem with the Cayenne is the same with many other Porsches. They're just not bought by the same persons for the same reasons as when Porsche built air-cooled cars. Sure, this may be highly pejorative, but then I'm in L.A., where there are a lot of modified cars. However, I have yet to see one modified 996, 997, Boxster, Cayman or Cayenne. Maybe those cars are just that good from the factory. One would hope that's the case.

Where have all the folks who were spouting of about how great the Cayenne was when it first came out gone?
Remember them telling the rest of us we didn't know what we were talking about when we criticised the decision to make it and we criticised the car ![]()

I have driven one, nearly 1500klm. It is very competent, if it wasn't Porsche tech management should be shot. However, all the arguments against the Cayenne still hold water.
