Porsche has released a single teaser image of its forthcoming 2008 Porsche Cayenne. The new model is facelifted version of the existing SUV, with updated sheetmetal all around. In the teaser image, three versions of the new Cayenne can be seen from the front only.

What's this? They appear to have made it even uglier. The mind is boggled.

Lilleput · November 21st, 2006, 11:47 AM

I like the new front, it looks really good with the Turbo hood (Middle one)

Photoshopped! Those are so daytime photos. images/smilies/lol.gif

For those who know my views on the Cayenne... should I say something and risk getting flamed? images/smilies/tongue.gif

I don't know how you guys don't like it, it looks so cool and my views on it won't change... me hopes someone doesn't start highlighting

Blayde · November 21st, 2006, 12:05 PM

andyhui01, i agree with you but only for this new look, i think the previous few were a bit, images/smilies/mellow.gif

, not bad, but nothing great...

bone · November 21st, 2006, 12:06 PM

it looks more golf less porsche

SL65 · November 21st, 2006, 12:18 PM

It was only the front that really needed work and what they've done has made it better images/smilies/smile.gif

What still doesn't make sense to me is seeing a Porsche with that much ground clearance images/smilies/sad.gif

I wish they'd get rid of this model or at least make it look REALLY nice because we know that technically, it's a really good 4X4.

I don't get a pic images/smilies/sad.gif

EDIT: Works now

marcos_eirik · November 21st, 2006, 3:04 PM

The Turbo (middle) looks rather agressive, like it's really angry... (Like; GRRR, I wish i was a 911, GRRR, or at least those silly soccer moms who bought me could use me off road, in stead of fitting me with 22" chrome wheels...)

That said I think the original Cayenne was, well not good looking, nor bad looking. It was kind of neutral, except the front was a bit iffy, but now they've changed it, for the better I think...

triumph · November 21st, 2006, 3:05 PM

the new cayenne will only be in production in 2008!!! I thought it was coming for the beginning of next year

Blind_Io · November 21st, 2006, 3:40 PM

Sorry, but I still think that is one of the ugliest cars on the road and I fail to see the point of owning one. If you want a Porsche, buy a Cayman or a 911. If you want something to haul people and stuff get an estate, if it has to be sporty then get a sports estate. If you are going offroad then the Porsche sucks at that anyway and no one is going to risk scuffing their expensive alloys.

I just don't understand this vehicle, it's not even pretty. I admire the engineering of making something that big and heavy go that fast but I just don't get why.

Well, I need to get my shit together and go wait for my cap to the airport. I'll check in with you guys when I get to Salt Lake. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. For all you guys outside the US, have fun at work, suckers! images/smilies/smile.gif

amdforever · November 21st, 2006, 4:48 PM

Middle - Cool

The rest - forget it.

I've always thought the Cayenne can offroad, remember that top gear episode where JC Reviewed the Cayenne... he did some sort of Tank course in a stock cayenne with low profile racing tires

watto · November 22nd, 2006, 2:17 AM

I love the look of the middle one... The other two? No.

M_Bolc · November 22nd, 2006, 5:11 AM

The Cayenne is pretty capable off road, more than any usual driver will need. Slap on some decent off road tires and it should be on of the best stock packages out there

Yeah I also thought it's pretty good offroad as well. It has proper off road tires unlike other luxo-4X4's which only have road tires fitted to them.

But I get your argument Blind Io - with all that chrome, nice carpets and leather, these sorts of car don't make much sense. But the fact of the matter is that people like 4X4 purly for ride height and now that manufacturers are doing luxo-models as well, that's a bonus for them and enough incentive to buy one.

andyhui01 · November 22nd, 2006, 5:21 AM

^it is good offroad even with Performance road tires... Cayenne's don't come with offroad tires, only low profile ones... but JC showed us it was capable of offroading even with those tires

hanasand · November 22nd, 2006, 11:08 PM

And after having asked for permission from Chuck Norris, God said "Let there be light!"...And there was a sort of jpeg-raped light.
