I think its a pretty dumb idea. Porsche is known for their fast exotic sports cars, bringing an suv into their line of cars just throws them a name like "average"

if by avarage you mean
then yes I will agree other wise, be quiet. Not everyone wants a small car but has alot of money to blow and wants brand name recogntion:321GFY

$98k? they must be smokin

BUUUT it IS "the worlds fastest SUV"...which means you can die twice as fast

ugly piece of shit

:2 cents:

thing looks like a jumbo vw golf

the new land rover is really nice, and with the bmw engine, it shouldnt break down ever 5k miles :D

Thats one ugly fuckin car.

I lose respect for that company now.

It looks like a station wagon... I hope it looks different in real life :1orglaugh

this is stupid to say... companies have to try new things sometimes.

i don't see how the pontiac aztec could possibly still be around, but it is.

looks like a Hyundai Santa Fe to me...

whiners


almost every other major car company has ventured into the SUV market, so why not porsche

I'll just stay with my square Jeep Cherokee 5.2 V8 ... because this one is ugly as hell ...

Audi should come up with an SUV...

As Altima said it's not just any average SUV, but the fastest of its kind.
I read in a car mag that surprisingly many Porsche owners also own an SUV, so Porsche apparently want their share of that market as well.

The design on the other hand, I don't like at all!

next month,

ferrari suv

you see what i am getting at?

you buy a porsche because it is the preffered exotic sports car!

it is all about speed and looks, now its like, suv, what next, mini van, just kinda throws the twist off

They do have their own version of an SUV:

Anyone ever see the Lamborghini SUV - it was back in the 80s I think, it was on a TV show once as well. Hunter S Thompson wrote about owning one in one of his novels as well.

Really Bad Ass and way before its time. They should bring it back with some updates since those things are so damn trendy now.

well hell I never said it looked nice:321GFY

I hope it looks better in person.

Dont Lie lensman you own 2 already:P how many mexicans do you have working for you just parking your cars? heh

Same comments when Mercedes announced their SUV.

The Porsche SUV isnt very attractive at all, The boxer was a great ride, the Carerra is my personal favorite for them....

From owning 2 SUV's and getting incredibly tired of looking for parking spots for these behemoths, I would much rather go back to having the original SUV Jeep Wranlger Sahara

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Dude, I swear to god I saw a Ferrari SUV last weekend in the Circue du Soleil parking lot. I almost shit my pants as I have never heard of such a thing!

ferrari.com is too slow now to verify though...

Maybe because it's a joint venture between VW and Porsche.. :)

hell yeah room for the groceries and shopping sprees :) I need one of those.

damn :(

they had already fucked their reputation by producing Boxster, and now this :(

That and the fact they switched to water cooled.

993 best mass production Porsche ever made..

Never heard of a Ferrari SUV... but I know that the Sultan of Brunei once had Pininfarina design a station wagon based on the 456M - it looks absolutely incredible - together with the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon the best looking station car IMHO.

I couldn't find a picture of the Ferrari, only a small model car: http://www.ferrarimodelsclub.it/ta06_027.htm
A Danish car mag test drove one of the only 6 (?) specimens a while ago and took some great pics of it. The Sultan bought 5 of them and the last one was for sale at that time.

Yep I see what you mean, but why only stick to a few basic models? It's all about developing. It would be stupid of Porsche not to take advantage of the growing SUV market, so to make the fatstest and most exclusive SUV seems like a good idea to me.
Lamborghini started out making tractors you know and have even made several offroad models http://www.lambocars.com/lm/lm.htm

I agree. It dilutes their brand. The whole SUV craze will probably ebb away as demographics change, but the need for speed [read: sportscar] will always be around.

fucking A - I saw one up close and personal. I used to have an account with an importer, and got there one time after they just got a big delivery of about 15-20 Countachs'. When I was talking to the rep, I saw this big bulky truck like looking thing with really aggressive looking profile/bodywork - the Lambo Cheetah I think it was called. Fucking thing was awesome - total luxury inside, V12 motor, - and a fucking water fountain in it, too. Huge ass tires, and the rep told me it would do 140 MPH+ on packed sand or dirt.

Exactly! Popular among oil sheiks I have been told... :)
Check out the link I posted before, they are all there:
