It does not actually looks any better IMO

[Tomerville]

ew. I dunno. Maybe a little bit better. Yeah, def better. but a Cayenne is still a Cayenne...

[BADMIHAI]

OMG! It looks like a frog with a stick up its ass! AWFUL! :fist: :fist: :fist: :fist: 0X 0X 0X

[Chaos in 1983!]

Agh!! what the fuck is this!!! :shock: ...it looks even worse!...the current one looks beautiful compared to this...and the current one is fucking ugly!

[deth]

OMG! It looks like a frog with a stick up its ass! AWFUL! :fist: :fist: :fist: :fist: 0X 0X 0Xtook the words right out of my mouth.....looks like what subaru did w/ the imprezza! makes it look like this =>:shock:

[altezza]

oh no... the pre-facelift one looks better than this facelifted one

[possessed_beaver]

both of you took the words out of my mouth, makes the other one look a hell of alot better,
i kinda like the look, it's ugly but beautiful (old car)

i don't know what 2 say rely.. the new look aint that nice

[Silvia_Drift]

OMFG, that looks horrible!!!!! I can't put into words how ugly this piece of shit is. Are you sure this isn't a photoshop because it looks like the regular cayenne and someone tried to put 993 headlights on it or some shit.

[RC45]

The look is probably to sell more to the Lexus and Infinity buying SUV crowd... remember - this cash-cow is catering to "the otherside" - people who buy cars to get from A to B and because they saw it being valetted at the opera... ;)

People who are unaware what the 710 cap is used for ... :D

710...hahahaha.....u put water in their right? 5w-30? 5 water to 30 air? :roll:

[PATo355]

Agh!! what the fuck is this!!! :shock: ...it looks even worse!...the current one looks beautiful compared to this...and the current one is fucking ugly!

The current one rocks , its a mix of a fucking cow crossed with a supercar ... i know its not pretty , but it rocks

[Evo]

What's funny about the 710 CAP.. I just got my self a new one few days ago.. :lol: :lol:

By the way that cayeene is ugly .. And I don't think that's a real pic.. just a photoshop.. coz it's to damn early for them to even think about a facelift for the cayenne.

[Tomerville]

It looks like a frog

Yeah it does look like a frog. Its just a stupid 993 Cayenne.

[Imre]

to SnowboarderTom:Just like i thought .But why does they refresh cayenne, i read that it sold 70% more in germany compared to previous month.

[dylan99]

OMG it really looks like shit they should stay with the way it looks now much better.

[bmwfreak]

Absolutely terrible. I wasnt a fan pof the Cayenne before, and I'm sure as hell never going to be one now. It's like the tried to tack on 993/997 headlamps on to it, and..... didntbother withthe rest!

Not just facelift, that THINg needs a bumlift as well. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

[st-anger]

...absolutely NOT

:wink:

[bmwfreak]

...absolutely NOT

:wink:

Figured you;d say that. But honestly, st-anger, is a facelift coming? and WILL it end up looking like this? And will it get a bumlift as well?

[SPEEDKILLAR]

...absolutely NOT

:wink:

I like the previous model more, but I think I'll end up liking this one too,
because with the previous model I had a negative opinion about it, but
after a while I liked it, so who knows, we will all end up liking it. :wink:

[st-anger]

...absolutely NOT

:wink:

such things are always quite hard to answer...
i can only tell you, YES, a facelift is planned for ´06 including some changes at front like lights, bumper and hood and some changes at the rear as well, some more options for interiour as well, there´s many many multimedia stuff in planning...
power output should be increased as well, and the rumour of a diesel engine is a never ending story...
but there´re already some changes for next year as well, like 500hp power kit of course aerokit too, PCMII, TV/DVD, Targa roof...

like SPEED already mentioned i like it just like it is right now, so no need for changing it, but well....marketing dep. is saying so.... :?

[bmwfreak]

POrsche has to bow to bean counters now and again too, aye? Well, as long as cars like these mean that POrsche will come up with creations like the CGT, then I suppose i cant argue with that. A shame though, I just wished the Cayenne looked a bit better, for me anyways. Thanks st-anger.

yep, because of the Cayenne there´s so much comming in the far/near future, it´s selling bloody good, and as you know i simply love the Cayenne, especially the Turbo, i´d even buy a 955TT instead of a 911C2/4... :D

955 is like the code name of the Cayenne ? TT = targa ? Is there a cayenne targa ? oh shit

yep, exactely, not a code name, just the model name, 955 for Cayenne, 996 for latest 911 models, 987 for Boxster.... :wink:
the TT is not for "Targa" it´s for twin turbo, like 996TT...

[Porsche_Cayenne]

Damn, a restyling in 2006. . .

I think I must wait... the Volvo go anyway really good ;)

[bmwfreak]

st-anger : wasnt the Boxster codenamed 986? or did it become 987 after the styling and engine revisions back in, was it '03 or '02?

[PATo355]

Thx for the aclaration St-Anger
What do you know about the new 928 ?

[astonmartinandy]

That is even uglier than the original, and that is saying something!!

[nthfinity]

can anyone say fastest SUV ever? regardless of the looks, it is unmistakably seen a mile away as a porsche, hit 60 with the M5, and keep on trucking on wet tarmac at 155 with a weeks worth of groceries all day. from what ive heard, reliable as the reminder card from the dentist :wink:

besides, i think most of us are agreed that it was a great thing to produce in order to finance the CGT

[st-anger]

Thx for the aclaration St-Anger
What do you know about the new 928 ?

first, sorry my fault i´m starting to mix up things *confused*, sure it´t 986 now, i was already thinking of the new Boxster, the 987 :wink: :lol:

you can find some infos in "Porsche news" about "E2 A/B"... :wink:

[draak666]

IMO there was nothing wrong with the front. It looked awesome. These headlights are a step back in time. It was the back that needed a facelift.... THE BACK!

BTW, congratulations st-anger with your new section. :D

[deth]

but there´re already some changes for next year as well, like 500hp power kit of course aerokit too, PCMII, TV/DVD, Targa roof...


targa roof on the cayenne?! is it going to be ok in roll over tests, is it really that stiff or is it in the process of being stiffened?

[jon_s]

Thak god it is not going to look like that!

It looks all wrong!

[heath]

I liked the back of the first one more than the front....and I don't mind the look of this one. I'd probably never buy one...but then again...I did buy a 951t

[ae86_16v]

st-anger : wasnt the Boxster codenamed 986? or did it become 987 after the styling and engine revisions back in, was it '03 or '02?

Yeah Porsche Model Names confuse me.

996, next will be the 997, then the 998, and I am guessing the 999 after that. So what happens after 999?

we had that discussion here in "Porsche news" quite some time ago, but it´s more or less useless, to me, this is marketing, i´m technician :wink: :D

Oh sorry, I thought Porsche News was actually quite new. Didn't know that. I'll definitely try to look it up.

Thanks for pointing it out.

[toprpm]

OMG! It looks like a frog with a stick up its ass! AWFUL! :fist: :fist: :fist: :fist: 0X 0X 0X

totally agree on that ...

front bember smaller than before and stubied corolla lights .....

[spitfire6000]

il have to agree, definately looks worse than the current one

[1zippo1]

...absolutely NOT

:wink:

damn, I just held my breath for 40 sec or so till I found your post

Ok a Cayenne is not a Porsche that I really love, but in this picture it looks absolutely horrible... glad it isn't going to look like that in the future

[skituner]

it looks terrible
i like the current one better

[HeilSvenska]

Hmmmmm...Cayenne definitely needs a facelift, but nothing of that sort. In fact what's needed is...lowering the ground clearance about 5 inches, lowering the height about 10 inches, lop 2 doors, shortening length about 10 inches, and finally, moving the engine into the opposite from where it is now.

[Sachmo12345]

now that is ugly, it looks like a bad photoshop

[gucom]

hmmmm i read in EVO that a 2005 Cayenne facelift is planned...this is a photoshop tho. The grille in front looks fake to me, its a lot smaller than the current one

[amanthapar]

facelift is in 2007 ...
but there are rumours it might change... the picture ur looking at is a photoshop it wouldnt look that ugly.. it would look better than the current , thats y they are changing the looks of it.. lol

[blinkmeat]

...absolutely NOT

:wink:

I like the previous model more, but I think I'll end up liking this one too,

Well not all of us will, but who can deny the capability of the vehicle? On those merits alone its simple amazing

[PATo355]

Hey ... common this is the most capable SUV in the world , it might look a little weird ... but you get used to it ... i think its lovely , the best looking SUV in the world , and with the greatest badge ( after Ferrari ) :mrgreen:

[ahmedgiyab]

Porsche can't do this to the Cayanne.... :?

WHY?!?!?! :shock:

i think it's the first porsche that actually starts to make sense. If it took em 40 years to get the engine moved forward, imagine how long it will take em to get the looks right? :D

[SilviaEvo]

it looks uglier!!! yucky!!!

[gucom]

well actually they started with front-engined cars in plannign hte 928 in hte early '70s, and theh 924 was the first car to actually be produced with a front engine in '74. Only, in '95 both the 928 and the 968, the successor to the 924/944, we both cancelled. the 968 was replaced by the Boxter, and the 928 has no replacement so far.

[fabro_s]

Its awful!, looks like a VW, they are making a big mistake!!!, the porsche essencs is lost there!!!! :x

[oantob]

a facelift purpose is to make the original model looks more beautiful, but this facelift is stupid IMO, it makes the car looks UGLY!

[TopGearNL]

Looks even worse :shock:

Porsche please stop making stupid cars and concentrate on 911 and stuff :x

Whats next, a minivan from porsche, aagh :?

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

The car looks similar as the current cayenne....for me the beauty problem should be sorted from other sides, for example, getting some door handles similar to the porsche 911, softening the back side, once it looks too much the touareg, and it doesnt resemble a porsche, increasing the angle of the boot in order to get some resemblance to the 911 or the former 928 altough the space on the back will be less, a complete change of the back to resemble a 911 as much as possible,,,,,,,,,,

[ae86_16v]

[Nik^XeN]

[HeilSvenska]

It has to be normal from the start

[PATo355]

Lightweight Cayenne ? Like a Cayenne GT3 ? holy shit

[HeilSvenska]

GT3? try "Clubsport" moniker for all non-911 Porsches


Lightweight Cayenne


how the hell do you have a "lightweight" SUV without losing seats? or ... doors?

Rip off all the computers and put a simplier AWD system , put some CF on it and and the pneumatic suspension ?

[HeilSvenska]

I wouldn't be convinced.

[bobber69]
