Cayenne Sales on Target

Despite job losses in the City, Porsche are selling the Cayenne in large numbers

As cars go though, this really is the epitmomy of the ugly bastard child.

What a pathetic and sad thing it is to see a previously respectable auto manufacturer such as Porsche sell out like this. From this point on, I will only be hoping that some strange problem evolves with these ugly vehicles causing them to self destruct shortly after being purchased.

Don't worry, there's already a strange problem that will cause them to self destruct shortly after being purchased: they'll be bought by upperclass white trash with lead feet and too little sense.

Haha, very good point!

I feel better already

Well I'm stunned quite frankly that you guys can't see the light.

I haven't seen it anywhere but firmly believe Porsche are finally doing something about a problem they have had since they started.

That is,

Man sees shiny red sports car
falls in love
car signifies to all others things about him
wealth, success, sexual demon, playboy, gambler, status

Girl sees shiny red sports car
Signifies reckless wealth, easily manipulated ego freak, possibly good in bed but who cares the money's good
might even fall in love

Man sees girl
Falls in love coz she LOVES his car! and she has her tits bulging over her top
He sees she recognises all his amazing talents.
The perfect woman.

Get married
Things are changing
The compliments about the car are getting to be complaints
Fatal blow,,,, kids.

Bye bye beautiful two door speed demon, hello bland 5 door fat slug, all coz the kids don't fit easily in the back.

Wait 20 years, offload the kids (and perhaps the wife)

no more need for the road grey bland mobile
Back to the shiny red sporty times.

I for one think its a stroke of bloody genius. Porsche have always been a one way ticket. Now you can continue your hereditary line with your preferred brand and keep the misses happy.

Disclaimer:

I am not married
I am not biased on red ( I have a silver 996 C2)
I am not anti women
I am not fat.
my girlfriend will kill me if I don't mention she did not fall in love with my car first ( thats coz I changed it from the black one she did fall in love with)

The Seat Torremelinos and Skoda Bloody-Marvellous are bound to follow eventually
