I made a typo. Here is what I mean to say:

"The 911 is ok, I wouldn't pay for it. Porsche tried to kill this car off before and I personally think that the Cayman is a step towards killing this car off again."

Yes I sort of did know that the Cayenne is making the most sales even before this post. The thing that blows me away is the Cayenne Turbo. As you can see below, it's only 25% of all Cayenne sales. So once again. If Porsche is money minded, why would you go out of your way and try to improve the version that only 25% of customers buy.

I really see a contradiction in the way Porsche is handling things. They have always had the true sports car enthusiast image yet they don't want to pump up the real sports cars like Boxster, they want to make SUVs. The car they decide to pump up doesnt' need any pumping(already 440hp) and doesn't even sell that well and isn't even a sports car!.
They are not gaining sales nor are they gaining their sports car image!

Give the 911 500+ hp and Boxster 400+hp along with the Cayenne and it'll all make sense.

SUV supposedly stands for "Sport Utility Vehicle." One of the reasons I hate most SUVs is that they're anything but sporty. Tell me a Lincoln Navigator is sporty. And utilitarian?

Most SUVs rarely see anything but supermarket parking lots and elementary school driveways.

"Sporty" my "Compact Athletic Teenage" ass.

So at least the Cayenne honestly is an SUV. While I'd quickly buy a Volvo Wagon before any SUV to carry a bunch of people or boxes, this Cayenne is one of the sportiest SUVs out there.
