Why not? Whatever sells, right? Will it be electric with an interactive sound system?

Lots of people were agast at the news they were going to make a SUV. The Cayenne & Macan made Porsche a ton of money.

Likely any all new vehicle will be electric just to satisfy the greenies in Germany. I am sure I was not the targeted customer base for one, and I will not be buying one. If it keeps Porsche making the 718s and 911s that is a great thing.

Already been done.



Seriously, VAG (VW) owns it all now.
They are also having to meet all of the nanny-state requirements.

It will be interesting to see what VAG badges as Porsche.

Oh, and I will note that the Cayenne is a much better driver than what should be the same VW T-reg.

The Porsche and Piech families own the majority of stock in VW group. So whatever is done, it will be best for Porsche.

A 3 row SUV instead of my Sienna? Why yes, sign me up!

But wait, by then my oldest will be out of the house so I don’t really need a third row….

Exactly. There's no GT3 RS without a siht-ton of Cayennes sold to soccer moms.

Cayennes are not so much sold to soccer moms. Too small. Too pricey too.

So I guess many people are buying BMW X7s and they want a piece of the pie.

An SUV is a mini-van for people in denial of owning a mini-van...

Nope. ^

Maybe more like the station wagon of the 2k's. But even that, not so much.

The Minivan replaced the Station Wagon, due to CAFE

I was one of those people. I was vehemently against it for many reasons, but now I have to admit it is one fine vehicle, and a very smart decision for the company. Business is business.
