2012 Porsche Cayenne

“The Porsche Cayenne received a major revamp last year and now feels much better than the model introduced in 2003, benefiting from a reduction in weight and gains in both power and fuel efficiency. In short, it now feels less like an SUV and more like a Porsche. Yet the 5-passenger, 2-row Cayenne still offers the cargo-carrying capacity SUV owners crave, as well as surprising off-row prowess and the ability to tow more than 7,700 pounds. Sumptuous, finely stitched leather and overlays of wood and metal could very well let you think you're in a Porsche Panamera. Like that 4-door sibling, the Cayenne's cockpit is filled with enough buttons, knobs and other controls to make a fighter pilot wary.” –kbb.com
If SUVs came with S-M-L-XL labels, the Cayenne would land somewhere between Medium and Large. The cabin, although spacious enough for five passengers, has a more intimate feeling than other German SUVs such as the Audi Q7. Partial credit for the sedan-like cabin goes to its stablemate the Panamera, from which the Cayenne has inherited several design devices including the large, flat center console littered with buttons.
With the rear seats folded, the Cayenne offers 62.9 cubic feet of rear storage volume-not quite the most expansive setup, but then again, this SUV is more about the S than the U. The Cayenne's seats, for example, strike a solid blend of supportiveness and long-range comfort. Ergonomics are also excellent, though the array of identically sized and shaped buttons on the center stack verges on overkill. And while the Cayenne certainly adheres to the sport utility playbook in terms of layout, it's a bit too pricey not to be considered a high-end sports car on stilts first, and a functional beast of burden second.
This Cayenne is finished in Dark Blue Metallic paint and a Luxor Beige Leather interior, All Wheel Drive and is equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 that makes 300 horsepower and is linked to an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic. You'll have a great time discovering all of the creature comforts this luxury vehicle has to offer including but not limited to a power moonroof, navigation, dual climate control, cooled storage compartment, cruise control, 8 way power seats, Bluetooth wireless data link, multiple traction options, and much much more! You'll enjoy this car if you seek a luxury carry-all that puts the "sport" in the sport utility vehicle along with a high class name status; plus it doesn't hurt that this Porsche can also haul cargo - in addition to other things.
