Will be a great drive but black wheels are so passé......
I used to this that, but unless you enjoy cleaning your wheels after every second drive, they are a godsend for a daily. Love mine.Julian Scott said:

While it's highly unlikely that I will ever be in the target market for this type of vehicle - I think this GTS is a really nicely-judged package. Poise, noise, space and pace. Well done Porsche. Even the price doesn't seem completely terrible, given what's on offer and the cost of its competitors.

Yep. Far better than any RR or the Aston thing. Or that damn Bentley.Well done Porsche. They lead the way as ever.

I know there will be negative comments to follow but my brother has a 2012 Cayenne GTS with the exhaust and it sounds absolutely biblical and has a fantastic interior. I’m very envious.
This must be on another level. Please everyone buy these and then look after them so I can get one in 5 years!
Had this been a saloon or estate then I'd be interested, even though I do not like Posche's styling.This must be on another level. Please everyone buy these and then look after them so I can get one in 5 years!

Why only 660NM. An SQ7/8 has 770NM. It's not a PDk, either, so I assume Porsche uses a lighter version of the ZF?
If only they used a ZF. It's a dumb Aisin, and while not bad enough to spoil the overall experience of being in a Cayenne, it is so far from being a ZF8 that it's painful to think about. popeyewhite said:
Never understood these things. An SUV that's selling point is it handles and goes like a car. Why not just buy a decent car? Or a decent uncompromised SUV?
The whole point is that it's an SUV that isn't compromised in the handling department. You don't have to think about driving it any differently to a car. It's not that it's trying to be something it isn't, it's that it doesn't require you to compensate for its other benefits. Jermy Claxon said:

Sorry, but the front looks like it's come out of the paint shop without them reattaching part of the nose ! Those wheels are like the awful black/carbon on the 2014/15 F type R. Not a SUV fan but the first one seems prettier than this. Also the black around bottom makes it looks higher - the opposite of what you're trying to achieve surely !?
