New Porsche Cayenne fugly?

Postby root on Wed Oct 20, 2010 11:36 pm

Is it only me, or anyone else also think the new Porsche Cayenne looks really ugly?

The tail lights look like a Hyundai Santa Fe..the body size and curves make it look like a Tucson!

Only think cool in the new design is the new Porsche logo that looks kind hip!

It is just me? Or others think the same?


(I was a fan of the old shape!)

Here's how the rear looks on the 2011:

and the rear of the Hyundai Tucson 2011:

or the Santa Fe 2011:

actually looks more like the Tucson from behind as well!

yeah, you might be right!
The old badge at the rear looked more majestic, but that was always optional. I think it cost 500 AED extra!
Heres the badge

The old rear looked like this without the badge:

So, no badge or the new one, i would go with the new one.

this is how TopGear puts it:

"Porsche realises half its fans are twats. Builds an offensively huge, ugly SUV. Charges the earth. All the twats duly buy it. Porsche rakes in enough to fund proper cars. "


Hey, but I liked the old shape and car!

im with you root. its extremely fugly. front, rear, the wheel options and everything else on the exterior is FUGLY.
i was a fan of the older shape, they could have just tweaked it a bit like maybe the rear taillights and improved the interior.

the new cayenne interior is pretty good. eventhough the car is fugly im sure it will sell like mad here. enough twats to buy it here lol

The interior in the 2010 is superb - like the panamera!

We've got similar taste! :)

They've always been extremely ugly. I think the newer model is slightly better looking than the previous generation, but the entire Cayenne line is horrendous.
