Porsche Cayenne hybrid to carry $68,675 price
Porsche's 2011 Cayenne S hybrid will go on sale next month, carrying a $68,675 sticker price tag, including transportation.
Porsche says the hybrid will accelerate from zero-to-60 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds and has a top speed of 150 mph. The automaker estimates fuel economy at 21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The SUV can drive on electric power alone up to 37 mph.
The Cayenne S is powered by a 333-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 and a 34-kilowatt electric motor producing 47 horsepower.
The hybrid system uses a 288-volt nickel metal-hydride battery fitted beneath the luggage compartment, and regenerative braking. The braking system stores electricity gained from applying the brakes, and the electricity is used to propel the vehicle in electric drive.

After the Burmester soundsystem like $10k or something, this thing going to be over $78675. Plus all the other options.
Nice numbers though. Smaller engine than the RXh, also has more power but the mpg (combined) mpg better on the RXh.
I do like the new design of the Cayenne. I just wonder how many people will buy the Cayenne S Hybrid instead of the Lexus RXh though.

Love the interior cockpit look, and the lowest model also starts in the mid40s like the RXh. New model looks great!

seriously, saving gas is more of an "extra" to me i guess. it's just like isf owners saying they like their cars coz' they can get 27mpg. but fact is, most people looking for that car, gas money is way down on the list

While I like the hybrid, might as well go another $20K for a fully loaded turbo that will blow the doors off and out brakes most everything out there, carries 5 people, tows 7,000 lbs AND get 22 miles on the freeway... in black please!!

I agree that RXh owners will not cross shop although my wife loves this car, but she doesn't think it is worth the premium. For her, it is hybrid only.
If it were me, I would just go Turbo or bust because performance trumps gas to me.

If I am correct, the S is 64k so for 4 grand more you can get the hybrid. It uses the AUdi S4 s/c engine with the new hybrid components.
I have to say reviews from the Porsche mags and Euro reviews haven't been great. It seems the system works well and like a Lexus hybrid but I tihnk "hybrid" and "Porsche" is making heads explode
. It also negates all the weight loss the Cayenne got this model.
Yall know I love hybrids but I will need to drive this as it is challenging to my mind

The only reason I bought the F over the M3 is because it gets 10 mpg more...lol.
J/K of course.
Ironically, the wife and I had this conversation tonight. I was filling up the X5 (diesel of course for the gas savings
) and overheard someone talking about putting $10 bucks into their car. Now don't get me wrong, been there done that....I remember putting $2 or $4 in the not so distant past. But now that we are fortunate to be able to afford luxury vehicles, filling up the tank is not a really important consideration. Like Russ just pointed out, for a fully loaded Hybrid, I'd lean closer to the Turbo or GTS than saving a few bucks in gas.

but in no way am i not aware of gas price or cost. i am still cautious. but just like you said, while i can still afford it at this point, i am not going to worry too much about it
