Where? The car Autocar shows in the photos is still camouflaged. Did I miss something?

I suspect they meant "mostly" undisguised....
Even this wouldn't be correct. The head lights and tail lights are still heavily camouflaged.
Also, the official facelift information should be available soon, latest next month.

Taillights, yes. Headlights, no.
You can see the shape of the light housings inside the headlight units in some of the spy shots and they all confirm the four-dot LED arrangement seen in the current Panamera and Macan range. They won't be dramatic departures from the current units but the inner components will be more squared off rather than rounded. Some of the taillight graphics are obvious but the overall shape remains to be seen and the bigger mystery lies therein. Macan-style/3D units are all but confirmed at this point.
As for the interior, the Macan's steering wheel is a definite go. RC, do you know if the Cayennes will switch to PDK or will they maintain the Tiptronic S for the remainder of the current model's lifecycle?

Wonderbar:
Still cannot tell if FL Cayenne will have Macan style tail lights. Comments, RC or anyone?
It's rumored to receive them, plus I studied several spy shots and visibly saw rectangular shapes and indentations behind the stickers.
Porsche stated that 3D taillights will form part of their future design language so it's only fitting that the Cayenne/911/Boxster/Cayman facelifts will incorporate this element; the facelifted Panamera missed out since it debuted before the Macan but you should see this feature on the forthcoming generation.

from what i can tell they can't supply enough Macan's; it would make sense to duplicate the lights and shift some excess demand to the Cayenne

Just got word from my dealer that production of the 2015 Cayenne has already begun from June 2014 and allocations are already distributed and being called for.
The reveal must be imminent.

Damn...I can't help myself - that front looks sooo ugly
x 2. The usual Porsche lazy facelift ploy of simply inverting the previous model's grille shape. Usually this improves the look but in this case...... The revised lower rear bumper is starting to resemble BMW design cues IMHO.

Wow. That new front looks really terrible.
There is some sort of distortion from the lens, it is basically the Panamera facelift derived front light design with some Macan elements in the well known Cayenne shape. Nothing really to worry (or be amazed) about.

That front end it FUGLY. Really, really bad. Like a retard with his mouth open all the time. Perhaps not politcally correct but accurate. I used to like this SUV (not that I would ever buy one) but... just FUGLY wide open mouth! What are they thinking? Seriously

The Macan style front lights are looking good on the Cayenne!
Its a sin to re-use the 918 steering wheel on any kind of Porsche (I know the Macan has it already but really.... leave those special things in the special car!).
seems Porsche is desperate for sales
