is the cayenne s the best car ever built? |
|

I say yes!!! i have had mine for a month and think it combines a
sports car and suv.. my other cars are 5 series bmw and acura mdx
the cayenne has somehow merged these two cars into the most thrilling
and practical ever built, and to think its almost 100% tax deductible

Yep, butt ugly and way overpriced---even if it is deductible. I will
continue putting maintenance money into my Porsche 911SC and 928S and will
continue to feel good about rescuing the oldsters.

Ahhh...the Cayenne is ugly yet you put your stamp of approval on the
968?!?!?! The 968 fails in much the same way the Cayenne does. Technically
better than earlier models, but lacking the eye catching beauty of the
earlier models. Is it just me or does everyone else think the Toureg looks
nicer?

okay so maybe it is a truck
how many trucks hold their value like this? I paid $52K for an 05 and
the black book for a year old 04 is $54K. |

Ug, I just can't stand that gaping open maw of the Cayenne and the SUV
trend. Well, the 968 appeals to me because of the 993ish front end.
It's got good performance in that sleeper look. No, it's not as
striking as others, but then, that's why I bought the 993, eh? I'm
thinking of following Emanuel's lead and getting each 1995 model. Don't
get excited as it's only a thought. I don't have the garage space, but
I'd suppose you'd volunteer yours...? ;~P

Yes the Tourage is better looking. That's what I've been saying to
everyone who asks for my opinion.
Unless you're planning on changing your cars every year or so why
worry about resale value. Similar to counting my dollars as my home
appreciates in value.

As a 928 owner, I must take exception to that!!
I find the 968 to be much improved from the earlier 944 versions.
It looks alot like another car I am partial to....

DS...I 'm full...the S2 and the Exploder combined with all of my crap leaves
little space. On second thought, the Exploder can sit outside...the 993 will
match up nicely with the S2.
The only external part of the 968 I find as improved is the rear end...the
944 looked dated. I have a pic or two of the 944S3 which was supposed to
replace the S2 and basically they modernized the rear end and spoiler (even
though the '91 S2 came with the new spoiler) and that would have worked. Try
to convince me if you must, but, there is/was no need to "borrow" looks from
the other models.

The lower valance emulates to snout of the 996 Turbo and is |
supposed to create a family resemblance, but it's proportions make is
less attractive. I like the Cayenne from other angles, though.
Speaking of family resemblances, the '95 928 and 968 have a much
stronger resemblance - the 968 makes a nice tie-in between the 993 and
928, especially the way the headlights resemble a 993 when lowered and
a 928S4 when raised. I've always thought that trio of Porsches look
good together, with much more design harmony than my 83s, inside and
out.

I was given a Cayenne S as a loaner when the 996 went in for rear tires
and ended up keeping it for several days when the dealer had trouble
getting the tires.
The S was fast (for an SUV), handled very well (for an SUV), was
extremely comfortable (for anything) and would manage 20 MPG with a
light right foot. My wife has had Explorers (company cars), my folks
have a Lexus RX330, we own an MDX and I've test driven the Toureg. If we
were replacing the MDX and had the money it would be the Cayenne, no
contest.
It may not be the "prettiest" SUV, but after living with it for a short
while it was certainly the most competent. |

I just bought one also. 05 S it is a wonderful car/truck. the best I
have ever driven. I have a 98 911 and this car/truck makes that seem
so outdated (30 years or more). I bought it for my wife, but I drive it
all the time. wonderful car!!! I paid a little more than you, but
absolutely love it.
