Porsche Baby Cayenne to be named "Porsche Cajun"
#17
I believe once a person owns a Porsche, loyalty to the brand is going to be much stronger than any other brands. And purists are getting old and starting to bite the dust. Porsche had to go to a new direction. Well, this is just my personal opinion.

So, I guess VW changed their minds about scrapping the Cayenne in 2011??
As far as the "Cajun", hmmm, final production look and specs will make it or break it for me. I doubt the thing will be very good off road so it better be darn fast and corner like a 911. We'll see......

Economies of scale, ROI on the chassis, plus I believe it is a matter of making people stay with a brand. Once you get a Porsche, you would always want to have a Porsche. When I bought my 911, I wanted to get a Porsche for my wife. 911's not for her, Boxster too small, she wants/needs an SUV, she misses her X5, she no longer likes MB, Range Rover too truckish......answer Cayenne Turbo! Next up, want a sedan. Want to stay with Porsche brand. Answer......Panamera. If Panamera doesn't exist, well, I'm bored with the Audi, MB, and BMW brands........what else? Lexus? That's worse.

The "Cajun" is now officially official :
(from the Porsche website)
Porsche is planning a new sporty model range
Stuttgart. During its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, laid the foundations for continuous and successful growth of the company. The Supervisory Board instructed the Board of Management to drive forward the development of a further model series up to series production. Under the working name "Cajun", this efficient and sporty model will further expand the world's most successful Porsche segment in the SUV sector. In addition to the new Cayenne, which has clearly consolidated its market position as the most successful sporty SUV in the premium segment, the "Cajun" will also have a very positive impact with its typical Porsche features such as light weight, ease of handling and agility. As an attractive entry model in the Porsche world, the "Cajun" will attract new and even younger customers to the premium brand along with the Boxster, the market leader in the segment of two-seater, mid-size sports cars.

not sure how the pricing will work -- Porsche has said the Cajun will run about 15% more than the Q5... seems like its really going to be close in price to the base Cayenne.
within a week of my V6 cayenne order a friend bought the Q5 3.2. the difference in price that we paid was 5K. add 15% to a loaded Q5 and you're at 60k.
