They've been testing this "thing" for a year or so in the desserts of Nevada and California.
What is Porsche doing?

I guess Porsche is going to come out with a mini van next. Dr. Porsche must be rolling in his grave.

Well most people don't like the Cayenne anyways, so who cares what else they do to it. Sell a ton of those and use the profits for other projects.

...the desserts of Nevada and California.

which i guess would be crème brulée ...

this is what they call the "mid-life kicker" ... i figure they're looking at Subaru Baja and seeing that they're selling (somehow...).

with $3/gallon gas the bloom is off the rose for luxo-SUV's - they need to re-invent the product. they seem to be going after all the guys who said they wanted a tow car. or perhaps they're trying to make it "practical."

who knows - maybe they're testing the waters to go NASCAR Truck Series racing :-)

The Baja is not selling and I think it has been pulled from the Suby line up from next year.

If I had the doh-ray-me I would definately pick up a Porsche pick-up. I like it. SUVs are useless for me but I wouldn't mind loading a moose or a deer into the bed my Porsche during hunting season. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Or a load of manure (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) , or a thousand pounds of dog food (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) , or a load of bare root fruit trees. Yeah that would be cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) . Of course the vehicle is probably not really designed for truck use (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) . And I am guessing that for the same money I could go buy 3 full size 'Merican made trucks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) so maybe I had better just keep this idea on hold...


Until I win the lottery.

This one is not really my thing, but it cracks me up when people bash Porsche for non-sportscar vehicles...remember, this is a company that used to make tractors, so IMHO all is fair game.

The Porsche truck isn't a new concept.

You guys bash on the Porsche SUV but when I went down to the local Porsche dealer that used to sell Chevrolet side by side with the Porsches, they told me they were selling more of the Cayenne's than Suburbans so they quit selling the Chevrolets. I was a little surprised at that. But hey, it is Newport Beach.

I think its a great idea. I love the Cayenne, its an incredible piece of engineering when you take the time to drive one and really look at what Porsche has done with this vehicle. Cayenne profits have enabled Porsche to put a lot more money into development and racing. Why ignore a hot profitable luxury SUV market? Porsche certainly hasnt lost focus with its sportscars based on the new 997, 987 and the new Cayman.

Honestly, I hate 'em. But, Porsche probably has to sell them to keep from going in the direction of companies like Jag, Saab, Lambo, etc. Selling Cayennes is better than GM owning Porsche.

One other thought. I think the thing that bothers me the most about these vehicles is the type of people that are attracted to a Porsche SUV. I had a guy fly by me easily doing 100 mph + with his wife and kids in the Cayenne S. ...sorry Mr. hot pants but if you lose control of your big Cayenne on a busy SF Bay Area highway at 100+ MPH likelihood is that somebody is going to be killed.

I used to see this same invincible attitude when I lived in LA. Big Mercedes flying by at 100 MPH in heavy traffic. I also saw some pretty spectatular crashes. I saw a 7 series Bimmer get airborne on the 405 after he hydroplaned and hit an embankment doing about 80 MPH.

So again, great vehicle, but I'm a little more suspect of the target Cayenne buyer.

This is a bit off the topic, but I can relate to seeing people in their big German cars fly by the rest of the traffic. Every few weeks I drive over the Ridge Route to Central California from So Cal. Inevitably, those who drive the fastest are the ones driving big German iron...oh, them and the fools in their Mustangs!
