I feel betrayed, and let down by Porsche. Sure the argument that they dont owe me ****, is valid but as a porsche fan for ages, I feel that the company has just tainted their spirit with this mutant Cayenne thing. I just saw the pics somebody took of it at the auto show, and DAMN its even worse than I thought. I am considering printing up some VW logo stickers to slap over the crest on every cayenne I see.

So now its official I'm an audi person and the porsche just has to go. I think I will survive with a quattro equipped A4 for now.

but yeah, Porsche wanted to play the new fad so they did...I can't believe it, and I think they made the wrong choice. But no use getting pissed if I can't do a thing about it.

Ferdinand Porsche had 2 things he wanted to do, make a race car and make an economy car. The 356 and later 911 was the race car. The Bug was the economy car. VW spawned from the bug and Porsche spawned from the 356. Nowhere in that herritage is there room for a truck like vehicle.

Porsche isnt range rover, its Porsche. Let BMW dick around and fine if VW wants to experiment. But to disgrace the marque of porsche is horrible. Why couldnt they just leave the Touraeg as a VW. Damnit, greedy bastards.

Look Audi doesnt make a SUV, they make the allroad, an adaptation of the A6 avant, which is more than capable for the use it was intended for. Most buyers of that type of vehicle will never take it off road beyond a skiing slope parking lot. Ok in some places that can be really off road but you get the idea.

Amusingly enough neither Audi or Porsche have made or raced a truck of any sort. But both have been very fierce when it comes to rally racing.
