What do you guys think about the v6 Cayenne?

[MBenthusiast0]

I've done some research and noticed that the v6 cayenne will be coming out around early-mid 2004...having around 247 bhp with 229 lb/ft of torque.. Oh yea...i noticed that it goes 0-60 mph in 9.1 seconds.

what do you think about this?

I think it is great! Maybe the people who buy these will get into a pre-owned 993/996 someday.

V6 cayanee. That is mental illness.

I have a hard time believing it.

If it's true, it is sad.

Porsche has really thrown in the towel with this one. For the first time in modern history, there is a Porsche no rival has anything to be afraid of. If the engine is Porsche's own, then they are in the sellout game for the long haul. Covering the market with a V6 SUV on up to the Carrera GT, Volkswagen is deffinately in the driver's seat. Who wants' to bet that a four-door is next?

I think the only good to come out of a V6 Cayenne, is if they made Cayenne sales their primary source of profit, so they could afford to sell 911s' at dirt cheap prices.

Latenight I have to disagree! Based on Car and Driver, they claim the only thing better off road is the Range Rover and nothing comes close on road. After driving the S, I would buy one in a heart beat.

A V6 Cayenne in the second best off-roader around, is that what C&D said? Uh huh. I'm sure any Jeep is a more capable off-roader, Ceyenne is no threat to any true off-roader. And the Cayenne V6 is not scaring a BMW X5 4.6is or an ML55 AMG any time soon.

What I'm saying is that, a Porsche SUV with a V6 is not really anything to be sweating over at a stoplight.

my appoligies, I thought you were talking about the 8's. They were talking about the standard S. Anyway, Jeeps are GREAT off road, but I don't think a libby or a Grand could hang with a Cayenne.

i dunno, the Jeep Grand cherokee may not be the image of high build quality, but it's all wheel drive system (quadra-drive) which uses gerotor pumps to hydraulically lock and unlock diffs and redistribute torque is pretty top notch, and with the 4.7L HO V8, it turns over a 0-60 of 6.9. That isn't too much slower than a stock V8 Cayanne, and would rape any V6 cayanne.

Oh btw, where is this V6 coming from. last time i checked porsche doesn't make one.

This V6 is comeing from VW, more specifically, the Touareg, and R32. Porsche is doing it to help push 70,000 Cayennes.
