Cayenne sightings

Has anyone seen any on the road yet?

To my surprise this morning I was on the 405 heading south and there was an "S" right in front of me. Not bad looking...

Also, I was in Paris for vacation this last week and I saw this one in a parking lot.

I saw one a few weeks ago heading northbound on 405 near UCLA. It was neat to see it, just for the sake of seeing a somewhat rare vehicle, but it looked like any other SUV to me...

I spotted one in Greensboro NC a few blocks from the dealer the day after it's release. Someone was on a test drive I assume.

When I arrived at Hershey, I pulled into the lot next to one Cayenne Turbo.

On Saturday, I was running errands and saw another Turbo on rt 95 by Reading MA.

I see them often ...driven it a few times....very impressive handling

Next week I drive the Touareg, on a track and in the mountains. Should be interesting to see what VW did with the same platform

I have seen a few in the Denver area. I agree that they are better looking in person, although I don't know if I would notice them without the huge front radiator/intake area. I did think that they would be bigger. Seem to be about the same size as a Jeep Grand Cherokee. One was driving next to a Lincolin Navigator and the P-SUV looked like a match box car, err..suv, in comparison.

From what I understand they look real nice from the bottom.

Here's a admittedly biased review of the Toureg - very complete!

I've seen a couple here in Big D, but all the same color! I've yet to see one that isn't the dark blue.

maybe it's one guy here with different plates?!
