The LA Times ran an interview with Ferdinand Alexander Porsche the creator of the iconic 911 who is back as a consultant for the '03 Cayenne...
"Q: Is that what you were trying to say with the Cayenne?
A: It was important to focus on the aspect that it is a real off-road car, able to go where the Land Rover Defender could go, and on the other hand is a luxury limousine you could take to the opera. And, of course, it still is a Porsche.

Yeah, this thing is gonna go everywhere a Defender could:
Basically the deal is that no one that buys that piece of shit is ever going to take it off-road, but the poseurs that do buy it can now tell their friends, with total confidence, that "it can go everywhere a Land Rover can" all because Ferdinand said so. What a load of crap, I pity the first yuppie with one of those things that comes up and tells me his Porsche can go everywhere my Disco can. |

Is this guy for real?? He's comparing it nonetheless to a Defender. Wouldn't sound so ridiculous if he said something like the Freelander or something but Defender?? Sure would look groovy with a safari rack on it. LOL |

Let's see . . keep up with defender . . go to opera, isn't that the Range Rover?
I'd take a RR over that ulgy POS any day and then pull him out when he got stuck. |

I don't know, could a Defender go up that hill backwards?
My SAAB could go DOWN that hill, a Ford Explorer could go DOWN that hill. |

Is it me, or does the new Porsche really look like the Hyundai, Santa Fe?
I wonder, if when the Santa Fe came out to production, whether the Porsche designers shit themselves, as the designs are so similar. |
