The Porsche Cayenne diesel review was way to postive, just tell it like it is, it's a VW Toureg with a Porsche badge.
I agree. I touched on this subject in stiggies thread about 'What's wrong with Top Gear'. This kind of... pussyfooting... Is damaging the show.
There will always be a few cars that are universally
hated by car folk like us. I think that a Diesel Porsche SUV is that type of car. But it goes a bit beyond that; I think we hate the kinds of people who buy that sort of car more than we hate the car itself.
If the presenters can't grow a pair of balls big enough to call a spade a spade we will never be able to fully trust them about anything. If we can't trust them we'll never be able to respect them. If we can't respect them we can never love them like we love James, Richard and Jeremy.
Eehhuw... I said the 'L' word.
I mean, I can see someone buying one of these things and
not being a wanker. Imagine a guy who's a huge fan of Porsche. The kind of guy who has a Porsche jacket, Porsche baseball cap, Porsche posters in his garage... Maybe he even owns a few Porsche's. Let's say he knows
exactly what the Cayenne Diesel is. Let's say he wants to buy an SUV to pull a trailer... The trailer that he uses to take his vintage 911 to the something or other. Let's also say that this guy has
obscene amounts of money.
I can understand why he'd buy a Cayenne diesel to tow the trailer. He's supporting his favourite brand and even when he's not driving his Porsche's he can still drive a Porsche.
But we don't care about that kind of shit!!! We want to see this car get torn apart! Don't be politically correct! Paint everyone with the same brush! Stereotype!!
It worked for Top Gear...
