Introducing the Porsche Cayenne
Wow I am sure some of you have seen prototype pictures of this new model. A buddy of mine who is a real porsche buff sent me this link. He is absolutely excited about the introduction of Porsche into the SUV marketspace in 2002-03. Porsche and VW have decided to team up and build this baby to compete with the X5 and the MLs...nope no word on the MDX anywhere. Thought you would get a kick out of this .. . the only thing it will be missing is wings and a tail.

At first glance as well as the prototype kinda looks like a cross between a Beetle, the IS300, and a Boxster on steroids riding on Rancho Suspension. . .LOL
I luv Porsches! But, I think it is a disgrace that Porsche is about to come out with an SUV(which is basically a souped up VW). To me Porsche has always been, and always should be a sports car co. It is about making lightweight sports cars/coupes that make driving one of their cars a form of enterntainment. I seriously doubt the Porsche SUV is going to be lightweight. It goes against the philosophy of Ferdinand Porsche(the father of the beetle). I realize that Porsche wants to take advantage of their recent success, but if they really wanted to expand, couldn't they expand into the sports sedan category? I would think that would be the appropriate first step for them.
anyways, just my 2 cents.

But isn't the MDX nothing more than a souped up Honda? a Honda accord on stilts, a Odyssey mini-van with different sheet metal. Not a real truck/SUV? If Honda can do it, so can Porsche.
