Soooo, Porsche mini-van?
 

We’ll see

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

Maybe, but not likely IMO

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.

I'm with Glen on this one!

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.

Maybe a rebadged VW ID Buzz? Believe they will be out next year.

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.

Why is that?

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.

And OK with less actual utility.

This just ended on BaT yesterday.

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.

I always thought Volvo should make one because of their stellar safety reputation and success with the XC90.

When is the pickup coming out?

Already been don in the 80's very very cool done for Paris-Dakar rally to support the ew 959 rally car.

So cool ^

Damnit, I had one of those 968 wheels that I sold. :-/ looks great.

Well, I still have that same radio in my syncro, so, pretty much the same thing. ;)

That is just sweet.
Personally I have always liked minivans and staionwagons, err shooting brakes.

At the time the factory built that van, some of the members of our PCA region were in Germany, on a tour of the factory. The War Bonnet Region PCA has good relations with the factory, and they sent speakers to our tech sessions. Anyway, the members that were in Germany had Tony Lapine, the head stylist at Porsche, load them up in one of the vans, and haul ass down the Autobahn, and they were passing Mercedes and BMWs and getting a lot of strange looks of amazement. They ended up at some small restaurant that was a favorite of Tony's.
