One thing is for sure, the front end would look like a 911.

And honestly, at this point, they might as well just make a pickup, the brand is so diluted anyway.

Maybe they could just make a Porsche-faced Amarok with a Cayenne V8

C'mon Snipe, you just know it'll be based on the Cayenne's looks...

This Rinspeed pics are so wrong on so many levels...

A Cayenne-based Pickup like the Ford Explorer Sport-Trac, Chevy Avalanche, Honda Pilot would peak my interest... And if it has a 7,000 lb towing capacity, I would consider one to replace my Sport Trac.

Porsche could start with this and fix the front.

Hmm, I was thinking Druids maybe, but then I noticed what the plate on the Rinnspeed says,"Bedouin," so their costumer for the shoot wasn't very savvy and got it wrong in a bad way.
