You know, I wondered why make such a machine; then I drove one at Barber motorsports. Holy crap that thing is truly amazing; but that revamp makes it look kinda like a kia with a body kit.

It looks like they had plenty of 996 and Boxster headlights available and had to use them somewhere.

Porsche needs to redo the arse end to make any real improvement...

as far as looks go - the FX45 is where its at.
The VW/Porsche - ehhhh, not quite. Solution: You guessed it, an FX45 with the Cayenne turbo package

I've said it before.....
Park this thing next to a Hyundai Sonata and the front / fender area resemblance is remarkable.... If it has to look like something else, why not the leading edge Nissan Murano? That's what a "Porsche" SUV should look like ! A little more "sport" and a lot less "box". Wil

The headlights are the least of its worries.

Cayennes make me gag. The new snout is no improvement to my eyes.
How did VW do such a nice job with the same sheet metal? I think the Toureg looks great. Makes the Cayenne seem even worse to me. |
