Touareg got an update too...our family just sold our v8 full load VW Touareg and miss it...8000lbs tow capacity in an SUV that size (and it towed our 4500lbs boat with us barely feeling it on the back!). Appointments like a full blown luxury vehicle. It was identicle to the Porchse in every way - the Cayanne even has many VW stamped parts. After all, they were co-developed by the same group of engineers...

The only thing they didnt co-develop was the price point! Touareg in a feature to feature comparison will be about 30% less cost...of course if you're looking for the twin turbo option there is no comparison

Not a big fan of the SUV cars but this is OK.

It looks less like a platypus, so that is a good thing!

Looks good actually.
However, I like how the new X5 looks compared to this...especially with those beefy tires.

hmmmm...I had the current cayenne and loved the looks. Maybe It would take time before the new looks grows on me. I bet it feels and drives like a beast though. For the cayenne haters, NO X5 or ML (except the 63AMG) can ever keep up with one either in straight line or corners.
