Pic of a wrecked Cayenne...

First noted on another BBS: "Had roughly 100 miles on it."

I hope the people inside were ok.

[steveW]

Looks better, doesn't it!!!

Funny, but these new Porsches look just like any other 4X4 boulevard yuppie mobile to me.

[Bill Douglas]

It didn't completely fall to bits like other 4X4s do in crashes...

[Porsche911NYC]

Look, no anti-freeze. Guess that means it's air-cooled, right?

Every time I read "Unions destroy America" I go watch Grapes of Wrath again.

[Harlan Chinn]

Someone actually went four wheeling in it! Yeah, hope everyone came out without injury in it!

[jbryant]

Is it for sale??

[billwagnon]

When I look at a wreck like that I think -
I wonder if those wheels will... oh never mind!.

[Jgordon]

I can almost see the latte stains on the seat, and the crack in the windshield where the cell phone flew out of the driver's hand.

[Porsche911NYC]

Uh, J, those aren't latte stains on the seat.

I saw my first today at a PCA event. I loved the inside. I wonder what the the dash material is made of. It was a material I had couldn't remember having seen or felt before. My only negative comment was that the front looked a little to bulbous from a few angles. If I was an SUV guy and had the cash, I would take one.

[Huey58]

That looks like the consumer reports 5 mph bumper test????

[sweater914]

the guy thought he was driving a 911

Have you seen the article in the current Evo magazine where in three parts they compare it to first an Audi RS6, then a Lancer Evo VIII/whatever on the track, and then a drag race against a Land Rover with a 335hp Chevy 350.

The Cayenne wuped up on the Audi, got smoked by the 2000lb lighter Lancer, and stomped the Hot Rod Land Rover.

The interesting thing is that on the track that the mag uses for testing the Cayenne was about 10secs a lap slower than the Lancer, about 3 secs slower than a 911, and actually matched the time of the M3. How cool is that, the Cayenne matched the laptime of the M3. I wonder about the validity of the track times, though. I would assume that they would have noted wet times or other variables that would have major effect on the time. I'm sure the turbo Cayenne is an amazing machine, but match the M3 on a track, that's hard to believe.

[Sonic dB]

(...doing the math) So the Lancer Evo VIII/whatever is 7 seconds faster per lap than the 911?

wow. thats a fast rice boy car

[agabriel]

What a waste....

[Tyson Schmidt]

I feel responsible. I've been imagining them all doing that in my mind. Now it's come true. I'm so ashamed.
