Worse than the fact they bring a diesel for me is that it's such a 'average' one. Sure it's a good engine in itself but in an SUV, a Porsche SUV? More important than petrol/diesel is the level of performance. This will clearly be unacceptably low. I can't believe they couldn't do anything to it to make it more performant and not more consuming. As a Porsche fan this is the first time I'm REALLY disappointed!

its just clever to bring it. they should have done it years before. it´s the same engine that is used in the Q7 and Touareg and it´s enough for 90% of SUV customers. in europe over 80% of SUVs are running on diesels and BMW, Mercedes won`t be glad to hear that news. many of their customers will switch to Porsche now.

totally agree that it's a clever move from porsche to bring a diesel engine to the european market, okay. but THAT engine? making less ponies than a CAMRY? come on! and alright, that might be enough for most customers... but porsche is so definitely NOT about offering 'enough' power!

I see no performance stats given. Just because its 240 bhp does not mean poor performance, diesels get their performance from torque figures not overall bhp. It was clearly meant to keep sales going in Europe where petrol prices are ridiculous. In Europe if you are not selling a diesel you are just not serious. There are endless diesel Benzes, Audis & BMWs most new cars sold in Europe are diesel regardless of the manufacturer. However this is only a stop gap measure until the hybrid becomes available. Its a very intelligent move.

I think bmw's 335 has the same fuel consumption (around 9liters/100 km) yet it has 60 more hp and a petrol engine ! lol ... looks like an 8 year old engine to me :D at least they could have added some visual effects ! they just didn't bother to make it special in any way :D

The germans have done it again. This will surely sell well and continue the success of the MASSIVE Porsche family which now basically owns lambo, bentley,etc

wise move at least for Europe, gasoline only engines were the biggest disadvantage of the Cayenne here. However 4.2 TDI should have been ofered instead. It delivers great economy as well, together with much more power.

it´s kind of a test engine to see how the market reacts on it. Audi is working on a 300BHP Biturbo V6 Diesel engine, similar to the 3.0sd that BMW offers. the next Cayenne generation, who will arive in late 2010 will get that Biturbo Diesel. So the 240PS V6 TDi will be replayed soon. By the way, the 4.2 TDI who is used in the Q7 was never an option for the Cayenne, cause their future aim is to save weight. the next generation Cayenne will carry less weight, so the biturbo V6 will be a much better option.

For the ones who expected something more special, there they have the Cayenne Turbo S, or the GTS or even the Transsyberia. This has been done to sell, and for me, as a Porsche salesman, it's great.
