Compare it to cars like the Bentley Continental and Maserati Quattroporte and other cars in that class, and this car will beat them all. Like I said before, most people don’t buy cars just for performance figures. Quit being so close minded on the subject matter, and maybe you’ll stop buying domestic. I will never stop buying domestic and the only import I would ever own, would have a domestic power plant. ---

It is indeed hideous I will admit. I’ve always been against the Cayenne and this “thing” since the first rumors came about number of years back. Yes they will sell and bring profit to the company, but there is no need to put a badge of a performance car on it and all the heritage that is assoiated wih it. Chevy proved you can’t fix you problems by slapping badges on. You want to make money on cars that sell even it goes against your company heritage, come up with a new brand. BMW needed money and they knew that cheap(er) fwd cars sell so low and behold new Mini came about. Scion came from th same principle. ---

Okay, now that Brew has made a mochery of this I’ll chime in and try to clean it up:) Porsche desined the car with a target audience of 35-55 year old established business professionals who would typically shop a Quattroporte or Contentinal GT or equivilant. This was designed to be a flagship luxury (emphasis on luxury) sport sedan. Not a sports car. People commonly have the misconception that this vehicle is only targeted to the 911 driver who also wants a sedan for all season driving. Which that’s a small piece of the puzzle Porsche designed this more to expand into another market and try to gain a broader customer base (much as they did with the Cayenne). While the styling my not be for everyones eyes, the media seems to have fallen in love with the car. Porsche stays true to its heritage in the front end which embodies much of their sports car appeal and gently collides with a versitle rear hatch that allows for maximum headroom for rear passengers as well as storage. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and will voice it as such. I don’t think anyone on here though will be stroking a check for $175,000 for a well equipped Panamera Turbo anytime soon however so don’t get your panties in a bunch. Love you all. Justin ---

The only ‘cheap’ Porsche is the Volkswagen Touareg. Chasis is manufactured by Porsche then sent to VW to put their sheetmetal/interior/drivetrain in. Audi shares zero components with Porsche. Porsche owns VW. This concludes todays lesson 🙂 > [@On another topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/13210/45): > > There is a cheap Porsche, it’s called the Audi. Ha. Ha. ---
