2008 Porsche Cayenne S Review

When is a Porsche not a Porsche?

Introduction

Porsche Cayenne S – 2008 Review: Maybe our expectations were too high. The Cayenne S, after all, carries a Porsche crest on its nose. Yet after a week with this SUV, we came away disappointed. Sure, the Cayenne has good power, handles well for an off-road capable machine, and has some nice luxury features. Yet not once did we feel the connection we get when driving other Porsches, and subsequently, we felt as though the Cayenne isn’t really a Porsche. It’s not that we were expecting a 5,000 pound Cayman, but we think this Porsche should outperform a BMW X5, instead of the other way around.
