porsche 4x4
Just been out to our warehouse which is 8 miles away and on the motorway i saw one of those porsche Cayenne thingys.
i thought they looked ugly in the pictures but when you really see one they are terrible.
A complete half arsed attempt at a 4x4. should have been named the Gayenne as far as i am concerned.
........shame on you Porsche

Colin,
Yup, definately the ugliest 4x4 on the road.
Looks like a sporty(ish) car bolted to a 4wd chassis.

I've seen a couple, one was ages ago. Saw it from the back, and it looked like a 4x4 should do. Got round the front and it was like.... WTF is
that supposed to be. Awful is what it is lol

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I have seen a few - they look a lot better in dark colours where the gaping holes in the front blend in better. Volkswagen make a better looking
version of it, but they don't have the petrol V8 turbo which apparently shifts pretty well.
I got an invite to the launch (Porsche obviously unaware of the state of my finances) and was very impressed by the interior, but think the Range
Rover would be my choice should I ever be in the market for an expensive 4x4 which is highly unlikely.

now theres a good idea, i bet if porsche ever do make a sports car it will be quite nice. Imagine the cayenne lines on a nice two door scrief. maybe
mid engined, possibly making a few turbo models for those who want to go faster. they'll never think of that though...

Porsche
Must whole-heartedly agree with all posting about this vehicle (had to put that in case of lawsuits) as it certainly can't be classified as a
Car or 4x4 surely.
Though with foresight - you all know it will end up being a 'classic' (?)
I simply smile when I see the drivers of said vehicle as they have bought what can only be known as a "vehicular-septicaemia".
IMHO it's only just worse than the Ford Scorpio saloon (circa 1996... (where's the bucket!))

When I asked a traffic cop what he thought of his new Scorpio patrol car some years back he said....
"it's a lot like a cunt, ugly to look at but really nice once you get inside".
Couldn't argue with that.
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

My opinion:
First of all, yeah it's an ugly (though well engineered no doubt) pile of crap.
Secondly, why didn't they launch a new brand...like Toyota-Lexus or Honda-Acura then they could brag about all the Porsche enineering that was
in this "vehicle" without giving it the badge and tarnishing the pure sports reputation.
Major bollock dropped IMO.

Oi, I've got a Scorpio...
...and i like its uglyness. It gives it charm. Didn't anyone tell you its whats inside that matters?
Thats why Mrs H fell for me, BTW. I'd imagine most of you blokes on this site (and i've met quite a few!) would be wife/bird less if it
was down to looks alone.
Having said that (pious phase over ) the Cayenne is Fook ugly, and can only agree with all the above.
Perhaps Porsche's alterego could have been Landrover, or Jeep!

ok, on a brighter note, i'l try to find something nice to say about them...
er...
well, at least you can get leather in them. and they're really cheap cos no one really likes them! lol....
i know the feeling about the missus and cars though, mine never stops complaining about the seicento. says it was nice cars that attracted her to me
in the first place, but i grew old and sensible! i quite like it myself... cheap and reliable. all good!

tim,
Sorry mate - just saying that Porsche should leave 4x4ing to the experts (ie RR and Jeep). Nor being disparaging about Jeeps!! Completely agreee with
you in fact!
Whats next, a lowered Rangie, trying to barge into the sportscar market - some rich tw@ would buy it though
