Check out our Porsche Cayenne review with this video from Consumer Reports. Get more car info on our website: www.consumerreports.org The Cayenne has plenty of power and responsive handling, but some shortcomings persist despite the hefty price.
Is there anything that Porsche can’t pull off?
I went duck hunting out in the Dakotas with my friend and his dad’s Cayenne S. We pulled a 18′-0″ boat out there, down two-tracks and muddy, rutted dirt roads no problem.
It’s pretty fast, luxurious, and utilitarian.
The top half of the dash grain looks like Elephant skin. Ugly.
i think the ignition thing is a Porsche thing. if you dont like it dont buy it
fuck i hate this ugly fuck, all he sais is negative crap about a perfect car!!!!!
a perfect car for you asshole.. they are engineers, so they know what they are talkin bout, so shut da fuck up n stop bitchin like a kid…
the cayenne is an ugly car anyways.
Someone tell Mr. Fisher that he is a total moron. He needs to realize that when you say “Porsh” you sound like an uneducated hick from backwater Alabama. It’s German, dumbfuck. PORSCHE is pronounced PORSH-A! You lose all credibility as a car expert when you can’t even pronounce such a prominent name. No one says Chevrolette or Chrissler or Bwick…
I wanted to stop watching as soon as he mispronounced Mr. Porsche’s name.
I actually sent an email to the editor of Consumer Reports… Dr. Ferdinand Porsche is probably rolling in his grave every time this video is played…This is someone whose “expertise” we are supposed to trust!
It is?! My cousin who goes around bragging about his Porshce says it the “hick-way”.. interesting. My dad says Bwick by the way, but he also calls salad something wierd.
Looking thru the net, I came across many blogs debating how to say it correctly and defending the ignorant who say Porsh. It’s NOT a nickname/slang, & not comparable to Chevy/Bimmer. Said best on a random blog I came across:
“Porsche is a family name, and the family members pronounce their surname PORSH-uh, not PORSH! Same for the car. You don’t say NYKE for Nike, so don’t be lazy and leave off the e in Porsche! Porsche’s U.S. TV commercials pronounce the name correctly and so should you.”
Saabs have the ignition in an “unconventional” location, too. And I agree, if the “keyhole” bothers you enough to be unhappy with such a rightfully highly-renown line of vehicles, you shouldn’t buy one and just get a Chevrolet Aveo or something ridiculously lackluster and zero-frills.
Because it’s a Touareg with a higher-performance engine
If you’d kindly read the rest of the posts, you’ll find that this particular engineer doesn’t always know what he’s talking about. In his video to show you how to stop your Toyota when you’ve been an idiot and mashed the accelerator too hard, he says to slam on the brakes when you put it in neutral. NOT SMART. You’ll probably get rear-ended or lock up the brakes if you’re too cheap to get a car with ABS.
@ar9080 In my opinion, anyone who doesn’t know how to pronounce the name of the company has ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS criticizing it. He’s jealous that his Highlander isn’t as nice, or whatever box he drives. He would probably say that JAGWARRRs are outdated and ugly. This guy needs to take a hike outta here.
@1bentley4ever I completely agree. Spelling also included! I cannot tell you how many people in the forums misspell their own cars! I wince when I see “Infinity M35″ et cetera… And in reference to Mr. Fisher and the late Sir Lyons’ company, he’d probably pronounce it “Jag-Wire,” seems to be the norm around the sticks where people say Porsh… He probably has a Touareg V6 he bought from Carmax since his budget didn’t allow for a new one, much less the Porsche or even Q7 upgraded alternative…
Yes, a touchstone to the racing heritage . In the old Le Mans starts, the driver would run to the car and could start it with one hand, and put it gear with the other. That is why the ignition is placed on the left.
your better off with a hyundai veracruz
