Great. Another Porsche truck.

Not a truck. Once it looses it's ladder frame, no longer a truck IMO. Honda Ridegline, case in point, not a truck.

I don't understand, I thought since VW owned Porsche, that the brand was supposed to get more exclusive.
That was the rumor going round and was supposed to be the plus side to Porsche being bought out.

you mean another Volkswagen... IMO if it does not come out of the factory at Stuttgart where it all began, its not truly a Porsche.

Not my thing but I get that Porsche needs to stay relevant in the market.

I pass Cayennes all the time and I wonder to myself if they see my car and wish they were me.

Exactly! Why hate on it? It will make our mother company money so they can continue making niche market cars...like ours.

Plus, the world apparently wants SUVs and I personally would rather look at an SUV that has Porsche parts than one with Kia parts when I'm stuck in traffic.
