Cayenne Diesel Test Drive

cayenne_diesel

Edmunds.com had an interesting write-up of their first test drive in a 2010 Porsche Cayenne Diesel. The opening paragraph in the article easily sums up the review: Trust us here; the much humbugged diesel era has arrived in Stuttgart and this 2010 Porsche Cayenne Diesel 3.0 TDI rips it up in worthy style. This is [...]

Tempting Porsches #8

porsche_cayenna_turbo_2004

This Tempting Porsches is going to be kind of a double whammy. I am usually most tempted by “the deal”, so the cars here tend to be lower priced. Although today’s car is a deal of sorts in my opinion ($12k back of KBB). The real kicker though is that it’s a Cayenne. I know [...]

Gemballa Cayenne & 2009 Commitment to ALL Porsche Models

2009_gemballa_cayenne_tornado

I decided this morning, while reading the latest issue of Christophorus Magazine, that I needed to expand my love for Porsche this year to include all models in the family, not just the ones I grew up on. I suppose it’s a lot like the day you decide you should get rid of the mullet, [...]

E-Porsche…Silent but Deadly

electric_912_batteries

We’ve seen some electric Porsches surface from time to time. Well meaning Porsche enthusiasts applying their engineering prowess and desire to greenify our favorite brand. Everything from 914s to 944s and 911s to 356s have been electrified by “green” Porscheophiles. At least they’re doing something reasonable with their Porsches unlike the Porsche 928 Pickup conversion. [...]

Tempting Porsches #2

tempting_porsche_rnd2

I haven’t seen many tempting Porsches the last few weeks.  Cars I would seriously consider buying, but also are a bit on the bubble when compared to other cars on the market.  Lately these have fallen more into the questionable history (rarely a good thing with a Porsche) or need work (definitely not a good [...]

Diesel Porsche…What the heck???

cayenne_diesel

You know by now I, along with many other people, am not a big fan of the Cayenne.  Well, at least the stock Cayenne (see this post on edo Competition’s Cayenne).  So when I read Porsche’s official press release late last month about the Cayenne diesel, of course my first thought was “Now the Cayenne [...]

Porsche Cayenne Turbo vs. Red Devil Parachuter Race

I’ve seen a lot of matchups of one brand verses another. Even supercars versus fighter jets and whatnot. But never a car verses a parachuter. I thought it’d be a bit bogus, but ended up being a pretty decent race. Here’s a link to the video since YouTube won’t let me embed this one: Porsche [...]

edo competition’s Porsche Cayenne GTS

edo_competition_cayenne

I’m not sure what it is with all of the Porsche Cayenne topics coming up for me lately.  Maybe I’m destined to like the Cayenne after all.  Perhaps it’s a way to get my wife into a daily driver Porsche that she’d actually enjoy driving every day. I ran across the edo competition Porsche Cayenne [...]

Jerry Seinfeld’s Next Porsche?

cayenne_turbo_s

Since Jerry Seinfeld unloaded his Porsche 911 Turbo S not all that long ago, maybe he was making room in the collection for the 2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. I have to admit, if I were judging the car based purely on the paper specs of this SUV, I’d be pretty tempted to put this [...]

Porsche Cayenne Pepper???

porsche_cayenne

I have to be honest, every time I come across a Porsche Cayenne, my eyes burn a bit from the sight of the Porsche badge on such an ugly Porsche manufactured car.  I know I’m not alone in this given all of the press the Porsche Cayenne has gotten over the last 7 or 8 [...]
