Car Leasing Special: 2011 Porsche Cayenne: A Second Look

The new 2011 Porsche Cayenne has enchanted photographers and car enthusiasts as it shredded off its tight SUV makeup and put on a new wagonlike appearance with a lower, to-the-ground body. There are some highlighted features for the car: not so upright windshield, low roof, B and C pillars that are blacked out, and D pillars that slope. Based on captured photos of the car model, it is touted as more of evolution, not revolution. The 2010 Cayenne is sporting looks that is prototypical to its big brother Panamera, which is still on blueprint. The two models are expected to share the same factory at Liepzig, Germany. Porsche was the initiator in the market for the SUV vehicle architecture. This was developed between Volkswagen and Audi. The original Cayenne was released 2002, a year ahead of VW Touareg and four years ahead of Audi Q7. The replacement design for the SUV models was a shared project between Porsche and Volkswagen that Porsche pushed to expedite. In this light, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne is expected to be launched first half of 2010 while the second-generation Touareg will have its first appearance until late 2010 at the earliest. Porsche great man Wendelin Wiedeking, as reported by Automobilwoche, has been observed to have increasing control on the Volkswagen group for rushing up projects beneficial for Porsche while setting up VW at a disadvantage. Audi, on the other hand, has intended to keep its Q7 model SUV until 2013. It has been noted that Wiedeking in January 2006 expressed to the Volkswagen Board his hopes of speeding up the creation of the Cayenne since the sales for the gas-guzzling SUVs have plummeted due to the increasing fuel price. With its new model for the revamped line-up, car owners can enjoy fuel-efficient engine, a hybrid model, as well as a diesel.
