Spotted the crazy 4 door porsche today
Dangle_kt - 13/4/10 at 10:09 PM

I thought it was gross on tele, but it looked nice in real life.

Pretty sure I wont see many around though.

Anyone else seen one? What did you think of it in the flesh?

Not nice!


Paul TigerB6 - 13/4/10 at 10:11 PM

Yeah i saw one a couple of weeks ago. Still think it looks gross myself!!!

Funny you should mention that. I saw my first one in St Annes on Sunday. Just looks wrong to me


Dangle_kt - 13/4/10 at 10:17 PM

I think it was because it went past in the motorway as I was turning off, it was a proper double take moment.

I wasn't thinking of a two seater sportscar gone wrong, but what looked like a sporty family estate.

Then I twigged but was disapearing down the off ramp

I've seen 2 now and I'm still not sure! Whatever next, maybe a van for builders and plumbers??

Even Aston Martin have got into the 4 door lorry program, seen quite a few 4 Dr Porsches here, lake district and the money people are coming back now he snow is gone.

Saw one down the village high street where I work a couple of months back, looked too big for the road!
Still, its not the ugliest current porsche... not that thats much of an achievment when the Cayenne is still in their lineup.

i dont like it at all. aston have done a great job with their one though.


morcus - 14/4/10 at 02:20 AM

I've seen one up close, the inside looks really nice but the outside is still ugly, I think it looks worse in the metal because its proportions are just wrong.


speedyxjs - 14/4/10 at 06:03 AM

I never really minded it. Just looks like a streched 911 with a few styling tweaks.


mark chandler - 14/4/10 at 06:59 AM

The one I saw just looked BIG very BIG...


Danozeman - 14/4/10 at 07:04 AM

I saw one parked up at race retro. They dont look quite right. All out of proportion.


MK9R - 14/4/10 at 07:19 AM

I like them, maybe its the middle aged man in me thinking "oh look i could have porsche as sensible family car", although i then realise there is noway i will ever afford one""

at first everyone said the cayenne was an ugly car and although some people still hold that view, i see more cayennes on the road round me than i do 911's. lets wait and see how many panamera's we see in a few years time.

saw one in switzerland at xmas. Looked very nice in the metal.

If I was looking for a four door like that i'd go for the Maserati quattroporte GTS. (second hand as the depreciate like crazy)


eddie99 - 14/4/10 at 09:55 AM

I've seen a few of them around. Really don't like it. Much prefer the aston version


splitrivet - 14/4/10 at 03:04 PM

As said, thought the Cayenne was plug ugly when it first came out, still do but you see loads Just goes to prove the old saying about fools and their money.
Cheers,
Bob


spidersaurus - 14/4/10 at 03:13 PM

I see one everyday :/
live across street from porsche dealer.

and i always drive by it going "argh... thats an ugly porsche"


morcus - 14/4/10 at 03:57 PM

I was under the impression that the Cayenne is the best selling porshe ever, but its a horrible looking car and I really don't see the point (It looks like the sports offroader fad is over at least), Almost every time I see them they're driving badly (Normally in the middle of the road or trying to reverse park, you'd think you'd give up after 15 goes?).


hicost blade - 14/4/10 at 04:56 PM

I don't think they are very nice but! park it next to this BMW 5 series GT and it would look beautiful.........









This thing makes do a little sick in my mouth!

They look much better up close, though not by much. The side looks ok but the front is terrible


bimbleuk - 15/4/10 at 11:44 AM

First one I saw passed me on the motorway. It was like an Intercity 125 going passed it just kept coming but eventually the rear end appeared! Big ugly limo in disguise.
