That's like saying a Maybach is cool! Eugh!

Especially in The OC™, where I live, Cayenne is only driven by middle-aged women whose husbands are rich enough to afford something other than a Lexus RX330. And yes I see them wayyyyyyyyy to often. Eyesore.

I don't like SUV's but there is two exceptions Cayenne and Discovery3. Cayenne is really good SUV and it is a Porsche. Cool for me.

Seriously Uncool:

1. It's an SUV and they piss me off a lot in town (I can't see past them in my Celica for one).
2. It's hideous. You can't look cool in such a grossly ugly car.

Seriously uncool.
Its an ugly SUV for posers.
If you want to take your family for a fast ride use an M5.
If you want to go offroad use a Toyota.

Uncool to me ...

I appreciate its speed and power but to me the Cayenne tries to be a great and a great SUV but it isn't both.

Despite all that power (at least in Turbo versions), it is no faster than a 540i wagon which would out handle. As an SUV it hardly has any usable room - the trunk is pretty hopeless - an Audi A4 Avant will hold more.

The looks have grown on me.. earlier I felt compelled to cover the eyes of little kids when a Cayenne passed by to avoid shocking them. But now, I think it looks OK- better than some of the other SUVs in the market for sure but no real beauty.

Only reason why it is not "Seriously Uncool": The profit from this SUV will go towards the next 911. That reason alone is enough to bump it up to "Uncool" .
