zeitgeist57 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Someone challenged my car knowledge, and I was shocked to find that YES, Porsche will sell you a brand new V6 Cayenne with a six-speed manual (three pedals) transmission today. I knew the hopped-up Cayenne GTS of a couple years ago offered a stick, but here's a free plug and show of appreciation from me to Porsche for continuing to offer something that keeps TRUE drivers engaged, even when buying an SUV. Well done.:thumbup: http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayenne/cayenne/detail/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yep, my wife's coworker just bought a new white Turbo and the new ones are bad ass (though not a manual)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crummer Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 the manual transmission is quickly becoming an endangered species. 2010 was the last manual tranny for the F250's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 That nose is definitely aggressive. Looks worlds better than the Panamera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 haven't owned a MBZ since early 2000's here though. Just saying they weren't the first to use them. The IS-F for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really.... http://files.porsche.com/filestore.aspx/normal.jpg?pool=multimedia&type=galleryimage&id=9pa-e2-tu-gallery-exterior-07&lang=none&filetype=normal&version=1 I think they look pretty damn good. Like any vehicle, the BASE MODEL always looks a little shitty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 The new ones are really nice...I do prefer the rear end on the older ones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 ...the Panamera. I had retinas...until I saw one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 400lbs lighter and a potent 300hp/6-speed manual makes up for the wierd rearend. A set of quality 19s or 120s would do wonders... The Panamera does suck from the standpoint that Porsche thinks to put a stick shift in their effing SUV, but not the fat 4-passenger hatchback.

Das Borgen Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 the new Cayenne is definitely a styling UP compared to the old one....the interior is pretty decent but too cluttered. The Panamera's interior is also just as gorgeous as its exterior is ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 The Porsche options list is REDICULOUS. You can probably double the base price by adding the available options. Its crazy. Guess that is why they make so much money/vehicle. Industry leader I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponyjr1647545514 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I love driving my mom's, thing is nasty fast for what is is ( S model) and hides it's weight well. the 8 speed auto is a pretty cool gearbox and shifts like butter weither in auto, auto stick or tiptronic mode.
