Re: Old and New Cayenne
I'll have to be the first voice to disagree 
I was in a couple of dealerships over the weekend to try to see if any of them had a car with the chesnut interior (unfortunately they didn't). They both had the old and new models sitting side by side and I have to say that the new look is growing on me fast. It looks much more modern and aggressive from the front. I also so the new 21" wheel option for the first time on a physical car and have to say they look great IMHO. It's a real shame that Porsche didn't bother to do anything with the interior though as I think it could do with a make over, particularly the front seats which lack under thigh support if you have longer legs. I wish they would offer a pull out section at the front of the seat as BMW or Audi do on their sports seats. A greater choice of bi-colour interiors would also have made a nice option. I'd have liked to see black with sand beige for instance.
The only bit of the new design that really grates to my eyes is the cheap looking support stay between the front bumper and the radiator which is highly visible.

Re: Old and New Cayenne
The changes are certainly incremental, but after comparing them several times, I find the new design more appealing and dynamic. My dealer spent the time to walk around the new car with me, pointing out not only the obvious front grill/light changes but the front quarter panel modification (sharper crease in the top), the new mirror, the tail lights (which mimic the mirror design) and the rear underbody. Small changes, to be sure, but they tend to accumulate into a fresher look.
I have seen the new chestnut interior on two basalt black CTs, and it is a stunning combination. One interior had some dark wood trim, the other had the standard aluminum look trim. Both are terrific. The 21 inch rims are attractive as well.
Overall, when the new design changes are combined with direct injection and PDDC, the new package is darn appealing, IMHO...

Re: Old and New Cayenne
I really like the roundness of the old front quarterpanels. Looking out over the hood from behind the wheel, with the rounded quarterpanels to each side, I'm embarrassed to say, always reminds me of a close-up frontal view of a fit woman in a bikini bottom. Am I alone in this observation?

Not sure what's going on in your mind teamyonex, but I'm just popping down to the garage to erh sit behind the wheel, look over the bonnet/hood and erh play with my gearstick

Quote:On the Turbo the only change on the kit is the rear upper valence above the window is a bit longer and their are side skirts.... the front and rear bumpers are the same BUT PAINTED to match color of car.

Which is even less noticeable on a black car, and the side skirts you can get optioned seperately from the sportdesign kit so IMO the sportDesign kit, unlike in the old cayenne, is not worth it.
