Previously I had the chance of driving Cayenne GTS for almost half year, it's the loaner for my daily ride. It's truly ultimate vehicle with the joyful ride. In 2009 April, I was thinking of getting Cayenne, but it lacks for some items I'm looking for when living in NY. My wife also complained about its interior ambience and features. Although the dealer was willing to sell Cayenne S with $6K discount, we weren't really attracted to it at that time. We did think over the 2011 model, but the new car was needed at that time (2009). Therefore, the re-designed RX has been the choice.

Anyway, I have to see it and test-drive. If it can reach our expectations, we will consider it. Or we will see if Porsche plans to sell Hybrid model in US.

The exterior dimention of 2011 model seems smaller than its predecessor, right?

i'm sorry but a comparably equipped cayenne is at least $10,000 more for the 2010 model with discounts, i've already looked. i can only imagine how much more the 2011 is. if anyone knows of a cayenne with a navi for less than $50k, please PM me!

right now, my favorite suv is the X6! but i'm not buying that for personal ownership... anyways, again, i love the cayenne but not for the price difference...

The 2011 Cayenne will cost more than the 2010 but no so much that I would not seriously consider it. The Cayenne costing more than the 450h is a given.

Life is short.
