Advertisement?[edit]

Several sections of this article are written as though they were an advertisement (i'm not sure how to put up the box saying so), most notably the silly "performance" section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.88.97.52 (talk) 19:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up[edit]

The "Controversy" section was an unsourced, POV soapbox. The points made are trivial and opinionated. The opinion blurbs are unreferenced. The "Popular Culture" also was deleted. The use of cars in movies and by celebrities is so trivial that it's a waste of space. J M Rice (talk) 03:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Violations on this page[edit]

The Cayenne Turbo text quoted below is copied by user Autostream from Edmunds.com without citation.

Atop the range sits the Cayenne Turbo. Apart from the two turbochargers (one per bank) and a lowered compression ratio of 10.5:1, the 4.8-liter V8 is similar to that of the Cayenne S except for an output of 500 hp (370 kW) and 516 ft·lbf (700 N·m) of torque. Porsche's height-adjustable air suspension and PASM adaptive damping are standard, along with fancier instruments, bigger brakes, bigger wheels, navigation/communication system, Servotronic steering, 12-channel parking radar, and a center locking differential w/optional rear locker. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=119520 —Preceding

I have removed the copy-paste section due to copyright concerns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Springee (talkcontribs) 14:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising Tone[edit]

The article lacks impartiality, from start to finish. Much of the writing seems highly biased in favor of the vehicle, and much of the writing seems conjectural. The tone of the article is completely off-base for a reference article. Notably, the article completely avoids the very real co-development of the Cayenne with the VW Taureg. 842U (talk) 04:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It also attempts to minimize the involvement of VW in the production of the body. The author is attempting to distance the Cayenne from it's VW platform in some elitist effort to somehow protect it's exclusivity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.74.29 (talk) 09:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

doesn't look like Porsche[edit]

The only Porsche car that doesn't look like a Porsche —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.164.229.33 (talk) 18:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. To me it looks an awful lot like the Porsche Cayenne.-→ 00:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cayenne Turbo S Price[edit]

Just a small question. How much (US$) does the Cayenne Turbo S cost for purchase? JMBZ-12 (talk) 18:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wheel Articulation?[edit]

The image with the caption "Electronic Stabilizer dcoupling demonstrating extra wheel articulation." seems poorly chosen. Wheel articulation is the ability to keep all 4 wheels on the ground, which the porsche is clearly not doing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.152.151.185 (talk) 06:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really made by them?[edit]

I heard from a friend in the car industry that the Cayenne is not really "Porsche" e.g. they are outsourcing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.157.231 (talk) 06:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Visually shorter and smaller?[edit]

The article says: "The 2011 Porsche Cayenne is visually shorter and smaller than its predecessors". This sounds like POV, as the dimensions are all bigger. Am not sure if we can base "visually" on facts while facts disagree with it... Vincent Lextrait (talk) 00:07, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Safety - no documentation[edit]

Can anyone find out why the Cayenne has no rating on either http://www.iihs.org , http://www.euroncap.com , or www.safercar.gov ? Or where to find such safety approval documentation? Although not tested in the USA [1], it must have been tested somewhere? TGCP (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's done in Bratislava and what in Leipzig[edit]

Cayenne is almost fully assembled in Bratislava. Including interior. What is missing is the engine which is fitted in Leipzig. B00c (talk) 13:39, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mitte district disaster?[edit]

From the third gen section:

"On September 6, 2019 a late-model Porsche Cayenne drove at high speed onto a crowded sidewalk in the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany, killing four people, include a 3- to 4-year-old child."

What relevance, if any, does this have to the article? While this is an unspeakable tragedy to be sure, I'm not sure there is any reason to reference it in this article, especially in the opening of the third generation section. BigBadWaffl3z (talk) 13:53, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
