To put the Cayenne Diesel into perspective, it helps to look at the other models. The Cayenne S and its 4.8L V8, a delightful engine in its own right, puts 369 pound-feet of torque at the driver’s disposal at 3,500 rpm. In fact, the diesel only has to take a back seat to the all-conquering Cayenne Turbo S and its 4.8L twin-turbo — it twists out 553 lb-ft of torque at 2,250 rpm. You see, the diesel manages to churn out a tire-shredding 405 lb-ft at just 2,000 rpm! This is enough to motivate around 2,500 kilograms of leather-lined sport-ute to 100 kilometres an hour in 8.3 seconds. The VTG turbo eliminates lag and cuts the tendency for the performance to tail off as engine speed rises. At low engine speeds, the vanes tighten, which means the exhaust gas spins the turbine wheel at full pressure — this eliminates the dreaded lag time and sharpens the engine’s response to driver input.

“launched onto the market at the end of the decade as an uglier alternative to the essentially identical Touareg V6 TDI, all for less than an additional $15,000!”

You’ll be paying taxes when the bailout goes through. Teach you import idiots a lesson not to buy foriegn garbage. Instead you should do the right thing and buy American like GM! Otherwise, you are a damned fool.

@Need more oil for GM,
talking about throwing our money away, what about those pleas of my tax dollars to pay your salary? I hope you don’t live long, ’cause I hate to pay those taxes!

Is their pickup truck going to get this engine as well? I know they don’t have one… yet, but I just want to get used to the idea gradually.

This is the ugliest Sport utility vehicle ever. And yet it still costs more than a Cadillac Escalade or Yukon Denali. Talk about throwing your money away.
