Re: Who needs a Cayenne...or...
Wow that is quite a difference! How long does it take to go from lowest setting to highest setting? Can you do it while driving? It would be nice if Audi put a similar suspension system option in the upcoming S4. Given the added option for clearance (in addition to the Quattro AWD) for winter, while a sport mode would promote a sporty, lower, solid feel in the warmer months. I think it would be a great all-season "sports sedan" with an option that no other car in it's class has.
I can't stop looking at the pictures! I am in love with this car. Great eye picking out the perfect color for it.

Thanks Mike.
The most interesting part is: the car looks in reality much better than on pictures.I didn't measure the time but when the engine is running, it takes around 15-20 seconds until it goes from the lowest to the highest setting. Maybe I can take the time someday to be sure.
You can drive with the high setting up to a speed of 120 kph as far as I know. After reaching 120 kph, the car lowers itself to normal or sport setting (depending on the setting).
I've been really surprised to see the E55 go that high after I had the surprise how low it goes. My mechanic says that this might vary from car to car but I love it how it is on my car. More about the E55 on the AMG Forum, I don't want the Forum Admin jump at me because of the off-topic post.

Wow...gee whiz...(NOT)! A whole INCH of difference!!!
It may be a very fine and fast sedan, but it's not an SUV. Where's the load space, other than the trunk? What's its towing capacity?
And ground clearance? It'd last about 10 seconds on the trails I drive my LOWERED Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Nice to look at and great to drive it may be, but wrong forum, I'd say.

Every heard of "smileys"?
Nice avatar, is that you?
Re: target audience
of course not the same vehicle concept, but approx 80 per cent of the same target audience IMO: the power-hungry who need a daily driver and a lot of passenger and luggage space.
i haven't seen a lot of cayennes towing something or going cross country and i seriously doubt i ever will!

SUVs, target audiences, avatars, and more
RC, yes indeed I've heard about Smileys, and thx, yes that's me.
zz, as far as seeing Cayennes doing anything, anywhere, I've seen only one on the street, but after mine gets here, I'll post some pics of it in its off-pavement glory. It'll have tires (Yokohama AVS S/Ts in 285/55R19 that are about 1" in radius larger, on this ROH Drift-R 19x9" wheel).
