RE: Behold the Porsche Cayenne Convertible

[roadsweeper]

Jesus, Mary and the orphans, that might just be the most God-awful automotive creation in history. If there is to be a judgement day, then this bungled abortion of a car design will more than likely have brought it upon us.

About the only positive thing I can say about it is that it doesn't look like a bathtub on wheels in the way the RR Evoque convertible does.

I have to speak, there is nothing forgivable concerning the Aztek.

in fairness it shouldn't have the choking chicken on it but still there's a LOT worse on the road...

It's a Renault Wind!! I don't dislike it, on the premise that it is no more visually offensive than the car it is based on.

That's a tad unfair I quite like the Wind in that it is small and at least different. This on the other hand is...

..excuse me I must...

Of course! Their own reprise on an R17.

I saw a Wind a couple of weeks back - and already forgotten it existed!

It wasn't at all a bad attempt - apart from the unfortunate name. French revenge for the Toyota MR2..?

Land Rover sold plenty of Evoque convertibles, another car that's universally hated on PH. But PH isn't the real world. I remember to outcry when the Cayenne was launched. An SUV Porsche will only harm the brand apparently and it'll never last. Well how did that go? 20 years on they're still selling and the Macan is a hugely popular car.

Did they though? I've seen precious few Evoque convertibles on the road. To me it always looked like a bath tub on wheels.

There are plenty here in London. There's 2 very locally to me. I like the orange with black wheels. Love the Evoque convertible, but I don't actually care much for the standard Evoque.

Would have to be that lime green metallic colour for me, or bronze, with proper wheel coloured wheels Likely be an ideal convertible for us once we can afford one as we will both be too old and stiff for an mx5 or the like!!

Funny how the really valid point in this post was ignored in the response. PH’ers cried/mocked/fell into disbelief when Porsche decided to pursue the SUV route. Then made themselves better by insisting it was just a cash cow to finance ‘real’ cars.

Then again this is called PistonHeads. And electric cars don’t even have pistons. So I suppose backwards looking, romanticised, “I know better than those that create”, approaches in a world that has effectively moved on from pistons all together isn’t surprising.

Strangely, the publishers and journos of this publication seem to have got it. Sadly many of the readers are still whinier than thou. LOL

Now, when are they launching RotorHeads?

Next will be the JCB GT Spyder, which can still be driven whilst wearing sling back wellies

It is the automotive equivalent of coyote-arm.

a Porsche not 'an Porsche'. You guys write for a living and should know how to use the English language.

The rest of us didn't notice that because we were blinded by the photos!
