Porsche. A full two months after this website first reported it, the mainstream automotive media is picking up on the fact that the standard Porsche Cayenne S model is piling up like cord wood on dealer lots across the country. There is now an "official" 60-day supply of unsold Cayennes "out there" in the real world, but our in-the-trenches dealer sources say that number is at best optimistic at this point, that the real number is much higher. Hot on the heels of this grim news comes the news that Porsche is getting ready to introduce a six-cylinder Cayenne, which will probably have a power-to-weight ratio more akin to a Radio Flyer than a worthwhile SUV, which should solidify the contempt building for the vehicle in the marketplace. We said it first, and we'll say it again: 1. Porsche will rue the day they ever made the decision to play in an arena they have no business being in, and 2. Now that Porsche is just another car company, they're finding themselves having to worry about all sorts of brands they'd never even give a second look at in the past. Chairman Wendelin Wiedeking has managed to "dumb-down" the Porsche brand and inexorably alter the future course of the company in ways he didn't have the vision to anticipate - all in one fatal swoop.
