Ah I see...
From Car and Driver:
"With only 229 pound-feet of torque at the driver's disposal, the V-6 simply does not have the wherewithal to get the 5000-pound Cayenne moving with any exuberance. Not helping matters is the six-speed Tiptronic S manumatic that starts out in second gear unless you manually select first. The relatively small engine needs all the torque multiplication it can get, but the gearbox would rather not bother with first gear. A second-gear start is a characteristic of all Tiptronic S gearboxes, but when a 911 Turbo moves away in second, you're still capable of enough acceleration to annoy a traffic cop. In the V-6 Cayenne, you'll annoy exactly two people, yourself and the driver in the car behind you."
