Porsche as been sending me lots of info on their SUV.
I got a 40min+- video and some other sales stuff and also an invite to preview the Dallas auto show and check out all the Porsche cars.
I haven't seen the thing in the flesh, but I am not excited about the idea of Porsche building a truck. Whats next? A dually?
If I were to buy an SUV, which I'm not, it wouldn't be this one.
It's still a pig, just a fast one.
Porsche needs to get back to racing and leave the trucks to Detroit.

My friend and I were talking about the turbo cayenne. He saw a magazine article that had tested the turbo and got an average mpg of (8-9 mpg) I can't remember witch. But high test at $2+ bucks that's a lot if $$$. I don't know the fuel tank size but if it's like 24gal then you'd be getting less than 200 miles a tank at 8-9 mpg.


I know that was hard driving and not typical, but I'd say the likely mpg is in the 10-11 mpg range city.
