I'm not really a fan of buying 'base model' Porsches. But what the heck, its still a Porsche.

Although with that kind of money, I will just spend it other stuff rather than on a single vehicle.

yeah i dont like the weak 220hp in line 6... the lowest model worth buying imo is the S version

I still like the 911 or boxster than the Cayenne..Plus I dont like the steering wheel... and Id rather use the money in other important things...:D

Inline 6? I know the S variant has V6 engine, which motioncars failed to notice and placed V8 on its specs.

no personal experience, but if they're using the 6 cyl boxster engine then that sounds like it might be underpowered (i.e. ok power for getting around town but if you're expecting "porsche performance" you might be disappointed)

it's funny - i was just talking to a colleague of mine who manages our offices in arizona. he was going to buy the base cayenne but ended up getting the VW Touareg. according to him it's pretty much the same car in terms of features and performance, but much less expensive.

same comment as m54...many people also commented about it being underpowered.

The base Cayenne has a 6-cylinder engine borrowed from VW. I am quite sure that it's a V6 and not a straight-6 (normally, only BMW and Toyota use that layout).

The Cayenne is not that great off-road, and on-road, the V6 model can be outran by a BMW X5 3.0i, and the 3.0d will have much better economy but not very much slower. There is also a VW Touareg with a V10 diesel. I'm not sure if it's on sale here, but this is worth considering too. Volvo XC90 is also worth a look, but stay clear of T6.
