Carlos I never indicated the Cayenne would be a failure INITIALLY. Though they are selling now, just wait. Very few Cayenne owners that I know will buy another. It really is overpriced. I did have a problem with the Cayenne TT. I thought it would be a dangerous machine. Little did I realize that Porsche had built in a hesitation to control the power of the truck.

The 997 sales are no where near as brisk as the 996 when it was first introduced. If they are unable to generate better sales with the 997 first year the subseqent years look bleak. Factor in the 997 TT, in a couple of years and what you have is a dismal sale cycle for the 997 and 997S.

BTW Porsche is well aware of this. Thus the need for the Cayenne, Cayman and sedan.

Vtrader, just who do you think is buying Porsche today? Rich fat cats or younger reasonably affluent rice racer driver's? I will give you one guess.
