Regardless, this inner core of the enthusiast heart has protected itself well from the tall, heavy minivan substitutes of the world, despite valiant efforts from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, Jeep, and even, long ago, Lamborghini. With the Cayenne GTS, Porsche may have just found a way in, and, remarkably, as these words shoot out into the Interwebnets, not a single chunk of the sky has come crashing down.

I love the fact that you can get a 6-speed manual with the big V8 engine in a SUV , but thats where it stops for me.

Still pretty ugly but no doubt goes like stink.

I guess Porsche has something against steering wheel controls too and insists on still using this triangular shaped hideous wheel.

I'd much rather have the diesel Touareg...
I love how conservative they are yet how nice they are.
The Cayenne is just too flashy for me like.

dang it, 2000 posts.

Nice idea by Porshe, but this vehicle still rides on the VW Toureg Chassis. Drive the X5 4.8 and the Cayenne back to back then you will understand what I am talking about.
