WoW!  $140,000 for a loaded Porsche SUV.  In 2001, my first brand new house in NW Calgary, two-stories and 1500 sqft, was about $175,000. I coulda of mortgage that house or a Porsche SUV. That house is worth over $400,000 today, the Porsche probably slightly less than that somewhat. |

Despite its high price I see quite a few of these around town all the time.
I actually like the looks of the Cayenne and it would be on my list if a) I wanted a SUV b) I had piles of money I didn't know what to do with.
Replacing those 21 inch tires is going to hurt but I guess people that pay 100G for a SUV don't have to worry about those things. |

How is it possible that after electricity has traveled through hundreds of miles of power line then hundreds of feet (or yards) of romex in our home, that changing the last three feet of wire with something exotic, expensive (cool looking, and packaged in a pricey box) is going to make a difference?

Is it just me or does that mud look fake? How does the top of the windshield get caked but not the bit of exposed roof right above it? I've seen a lot of muddy vehicles and I don't think I've ever seen one get so covered on the front and stay so clean on the sides. Maybe it's some aspect of Porsche aerodynamics? |

It looks like caked on dirt vs wet mud. So my assumption would be that vertical surfaces will get covered while horizontal surfaces will have the dirt blow right off.

That's what I thought too. But then why doesn't the dirt just blow off the top of the hood? You can see the marks where water has run over the fenders. Must be an unusual combination of wet and dry dirt. |

I don't buy it. Looks fake. As Cord said, the top corner of the windshield is painted brown, whereas the roof and A-pillar two millimeters away are sparkly-clean. Also, what little mud there is on the side doesn't match any spray distribution I've ever seen. |

WoW! $140,000 for a loaded Porsche SUV. Wait until the Cayenne Turbo S inevitably comes out - I'm sure it will close in on 200k. Supposedly the old Cayenne Turbo S sold in higher quantities than the "regular" Turbo even with the huge price differential. Gotta be nice to get sort of profit margin....no wonder Porsche is so profitable. |
