press release: 500-HP Cayenne with panorama roof

Wow. A lot of Pepper supporters here.

Personally, I hate SUVs. Unless you're towing a boat or 4 wheeling, there's really no need for one. Station wagon serves the same purpose with the same amount of space; minus the high roll center. And a 500hp SUV is just retarded. Do you realize that's as much hp as in the Viper? But I digress...as that's not the point of my rant. Porsche can make 1000hp SUV's for all I care. What I want to know is where's the pumped up Boxster?

And the comment on sales figures YTD doesn't really apply as the Boxster is in it's final year while the Cayenne is still 'new'. From what I understand, isn't the Boxster total sales around 150K units since inception? They were going strong at about 25K units/year for awhile, no? That's a lot more than any other Porsche.

And about cars with similiar performance:
The Corvette shares it's LS1 engine with many lesser cars (Camaro, Firebird, CTS-V, GTO, etc.). Some of these cars are just a tiny-bit slower in the straights yet cost almost half. But it sure as hell doesn't stop Corvettes from selling every one they make (around 35K cars/year).

Yeah, Porsche *might* know what they're doing. But then again, didn't they almost run out of money a while back? So maybe they *don't* know what they're doing? Maybe it's time to stop propping up the 911?
