Christian,
I wouldn't worry too much about what JC says about a car. He is more show than cars if you see what I mean.
I watch TG because it is funny, not bc I know the test car will be good.
Regarding the Cayenne, it is certainly not pretty, but then, neither are any SUV.
I think the best looking is the X5.
I wouldn't say the rear of the Cayenne is ugly, it's just very bland really.
The front is growing on me, I hated it first, now it's getting better, but it works much better on the 911 than on a SUV I must say. On the other hand, it looks llike a Porsche.
I don't like it on its low suspension settings, hence the reason why all those tuners version are hideous.
I like it with 20 in wheels.
As a Family man, would I buy one? Yes of course.
Not beautiful, but so capable elsewhere that it doesn't matter in the end, and guys, let's face it, when you're behing the wheel, you don't have to look at it
And to conclude, remember the 996? No one liked it when it came out, I certainly didn't, I think it's gorgeous now.
Harm Laggay said himself about the Cayenne, that Porsche's designs don't please the eye immediately, they grow on you and get better with time like a good Margaux
