Porsche Cajun confirmed for production

Do you think they will offer a turbo engine

''the crossover will be based on the Audi Q5 and feature styling influenced by VW design'' Not really a Porsche then..

Do you think they will offer a Jambalaya variant?

Sounds good, but the name reminds me of a KFC Wrap or something

3.0TFSI with 400hp with 7 speed DPK please!

Sounds great. I hope it will resemble the 1986 Paris-Dakar Porsche 959 Rally Car. The name is a little wierd but it must be a cultural thing. Here in the US it does remind me of KFC...

How much does an "entry-level" SUV with Porsche badges cost? Because emblems retail at around 60$, and you will look just as idiotic in any of the "competitors". Nevertheless, I agree, nothing trumps an idiot buying a sportscar brand SUV...

As long as it sets the performance and quality benchmark for the sector, I guess it should be fine. I just hope Porsche is still known first and foremost as a sports car company.

Cajun... Stupid name. On Russian it will sound silly

Entry level porsche SUV? Whats that? Cayane ws a tanker when we 1st saw it bt facelift has done sm justice bt do we really need another porsche Suv? I thnk they r losing the plot wit this crap named thing thats bound to b 'girly'.

Imo, there is no doubt that Porsche is moving from a niche sportscar-maker to a more mainstream luxury-sports car marque. But, probably this may be the only way to make money - if not more - to create and develop sportscars.

At the end of the day each of their models still have the porsche essence, engineering excellence and quality. That's what made Porsche what it is today, I don't understand why people are complaining, a 911 is still a 911, Porsche is still today what it stood for when it was founded. They are just expanding their market share. If you don't want to buy a small SUV then don't, they still offer the 911. Now with the 918 coming out you have more choices than ever. For those that were in the market for a small SUV and still wanted the porsche feeling in the sense of technology and quality they now have it. If anything just by adding competition they will better the whole segment by raising the benchmark. The Panamera is top notch in my books for a sports lux sedan, still a Porsche down to the very bone. You guys have to remember Porsche is not a model, it's a brand. The brand was not built on the 911, it was built on an ideal. I think that ideal is still strong with all their models.

Nice i like it... not sure about the name but i do think this will sell very well.

I am a porschephile and a purist. I don't like it. Not because I don't like SUVs. But because this car will probably the most cross platform car in Porsche's lineup. I like purpose built Porsche. Not rebadging and ransacking VW Tiguan and Audi Q5 parts bin, to fill a gap in the market.

@LMS So lighten-up! Even a guy with a Porshce life-style have families... I thought of the same when the first Cayenne was introduced. At that time I even hated all SUV's because they were big and you couldn't see in front of them on the highway to gauge the road and traffic conditions ahead...critical for speeding down the highway at high speeds...and you were stuck with trusting the judgement of the SUV driver ahead of you...not something good. I even thought the same when the damn thing was face-lifted...let alone a DIESEL version introduced! (Which along with the V6 I have some issues with since they use a damn Audi engine...) The Carrera will be the only "real" Porsche to many people...and to me it is still the car I want to own later down the road. But having driven a Cayenne for a day I have come to change my mind and even decided to get one for my family. It's an SUV (which I needed for the family trips to the country) but believe me it's still every bit a Porsche to drive (which is good for me so I can stay entertained while driving.) It's spectacular what they were able to do with an SUV that should leave alot of sport sedans feeling shame(having owned an AMG previously I am familiar with what a good sports sedan is.) Sure it can be seen as Porsche diluting the brand, but you can also look at it as Porsche working its skills on a type of car and turning it into a Porsche.
