5096P requires a large wrist.

It looks bad on mine. Hopefully Cayenne will resume posting here someday! Best, Emmanuel

I suppose they are…

The local dentist where we used to live also desperately wanted a 911. He drove a Cayenne as a daily and was incredibly eager for a 911 on top. Then he made some test drives and was horrified and didn’t like the experience at all. He finally still bought

Remember an experience from far far away…

Where I traversed a stretch of gravel with a Porsche Cayenne. Nothing too dramatic but the car felt like it was going to shake itself to pieces at anything above 60 km/h. Mechanical sympathy would not allow you to go faster. The next year I was picked up

You are making some very valid points...

There is an important aspect to consider. For most of its existence Porsche has been a fairly marginal business proposition, often on the brink of viability. At the same time for a long time the volumes they produced were feasible as the complexity of the

I find many of the cars objectively still very strong...

But the approach has become more challenging indeed. Sadly, the bread and butter is not drawing in enough customers and the volumes are suffering badly. In Europe dealers now proactively chase after customers with double digit discounts (not for the more

Told by whom and why 🤷🏻‍♂️

They actually look great 👌🏻 And you have chosen a wonderful angle to take a picture from 📐 I know people mostly wax lyrical over the 911s but historically it has largely been the lower end of the portfolio that kept the ship float financially, like the 91

It’s a complicated situation…

On the one hand the just add lightness mantra of Lotus of old would never work in selling enough cars to have the brand remain a going concern. On the other, the new electric line has not taken off at the rate wished for. Still, probably more of those sol

Don’t underestimate the Patrol 🦾

I had a very interesting experience with one some years ago. Was picked up by the driver of a customer in a Patrol and he insisted on driving on the island instead of taking the smoother route over the ice. I was less than enthusiastic having done the isl

As an individual who used to drive a 997.1-generation 911 GT3 on racetracks, I can tell you that their lack of a double wishbone is a major detriment...

You're not wrong. I was once in your shoes and I could not understand how a famous brand like Porsche could be inferior - I was in denial. And to your point... As a road car, it's inferior for the price they charge and compared to its competitive segment.

I very slightly disagree. I think every car, road car and track car, should have double-wishbone suspension.

Double wishbone suspensions provide more grip in both on camber corners and off camber corners. MacPherson Strut suspension provide only grip in on-camber corners. More grip is better in every situation. If you look at all four door Porsches; Macan, Cayen
