I read in one of the Porsche mags something to the effect that if you get a Cayenne S, and lock all the diffs and give it the full spam and drop the clutch...It'll actually beat a 996 Turbo 0-60 time!

Mind you...It'll only do it ONCE!

...and ask yourself - what would you really want to own regardless of 0-60 times

My old Golf GTI will out accelerate a 996 Turbo to 60 (ONCE)

Simply lurk on the hard shoulder until the next Eddie Stobart is upon you, the simply move into lane one, 0-60 in well under a second !

The Cayenne makes me heave, what were they thinking about ?, the X5 is obnoxious but quite good looking in a big BMW off roader kind of way but the Cayenne is obnoxious and ugly.

I think the styling gurus wanted it to resemble a ship at the front and back, hence the deep bow shapes.

Oh and since the Cay... is quicker the new 911's will be fitted with a 4.5 litre engine, which should give them a bit more oooomph
