They should call it the Porsche Pandemonium. Give it less of a curv-ous look and a tougher boxier “Land Rover” profile. That would make perfect sense, right?

How about the TWATSTER or the PIECEOF****STER? SUV’S are POINTLESS for most of the people who own them.

No, I think ****STER is better. In all caps too. With spaced out letters across the rear, the way Range Rover does it.

OR i guess the “Coxster.”

I would like a REALLY sporty coupe from Porsche, shaped like a ****, called the ****STER.

“Just admit it you really should be driving a station-wagon or a mini-van but don’t want to feel like the loser you are, so, you bought a car with a lift kit that kinda resembles an SUV.”

Read my comments above, they handle better than SUV’s and of course any mini-vans out there. Crossovers tend to be smaller as well thus giving them superior handling capability compared to minivans. They are probably the perfect vehicle for countries with very little freeways, thus if you’re in US you probably don’t know how good they really are. Regardless, crossovers will sell well especially if it’s a Porsche.

deantj, you need anger management.
It’s a dumb name, and I don’t want one, but they think they can make money off it, so ….
the Boxter is porsche’s version of the miata. And like every other miata knockoff except the s2000, it’s a more desireable car than is the original.

I hate crossovers as a concept, but they win.
Give me a sedan called the porsche jackal, and I’m happy as deantj after he thinks up a new obscenity!

As an aside, remember, Porsche is not a poser when it comes to off road vehicles. Check up on their history a little. Some of you younger people might be surprised.

Crossover vehicles are just Mini-Vans that look like what we used to call ORVs (off road vehicles), but they don’t have any of the offroad or towing capabilities of “SUVs”. Just admit it you really should be driving a station-wagon or a mini-van but don’t want to feel like the loser you are, so, you bought a car with a lift kit that kinda resembles an SUV. With that said, I hope Porsche sells every single one of these POS things they can build. The more of these you fraking lemmings buy…the more profit Porsche will have to continue perfecting the Cayman.

it doesn’t look that bad. it actually kind of reminds me of an infiniti fx

I’ve found that recently, a lot of car designs of been real turn offs for me, but they’ve managed to grow on me through time and especially seeing the cars in person would change my opinion of them. so don’t be too quick to judge… especially in this case, where you only have a rendering as the only base for your opinion.

For all you people who think this is a bad idea, I think you’d best get used to this as i cant see this being anything other than a huge sales success.
OK the verdict is still out on the name, but design-wise it looks like a winner to me. Knowing all the money they made from the pig ugly Cayenne, they’ll be rolling in it after this good looking piece.
As much as so many people dislike the Cayenne (and I’m no fan), ultimately it has been the saviour which enabled the take over VW and thereby get round future emissions legislation determined by a certain percentage of a companies output. Cayenne thereby saved the 911, so get used to it. Without it there may have had to have been a diesel 911 for it to survive… start thinking about that one…

“i dunno about you guys but im getting pretty sick and tired with all these stupid crossover.”

They are slightly slower than sedans and perform a lot better in almost everything than SUV’s. Plus they are high enough for major potholes in not so smooth roads. All in all the perfect compromise and I’m glad they’re moving to a more performance oriented direction. Why are you complaining?

Porsche has lost its way. It’s time to focus on what it does best, which is sports cars. I don’t mean the 911, which has become more of a porky grand tourer than a pure sports car. On the other hand, it’s new Cayman platform is the most exciting car in its product line. It’s just hampered in horsepower and lack of LSD, being held back by the 911. It’s time Porsche let the 911 out of the Horsepower Protection Program and let it stand on its own. Porsche should put its product development energies into making the Cayman, already a great car, into an even better one.

Boxster is pretty bad too, when you think about it.. wasn’t it supposed to be a hybrid between boxer engine and roadster? If so, what two hybridized words create Roxster? “Rox” for offroad SUV, and “Ster” for family truckster-like station wagon?

Yeah, Roxster is bad. Really bad.

Deantj, that is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever heard. How is Porsche making money of my ass if I don’t buy one??

Boxter, Roxster……… What’s next? A sport version called the Redsoxster?

formes i think this is a way better idea than a rebadged vw for sure. but the rebadged vw hauls some seroius ass though, and the suv`s that have airbags to give an extra few inches of ground clearance are pretty friggin cool.
deantj will you finger my dick crack while i masturbate.

Its not a cross over. Its a tall car. ITS A TALL CAR.

Since when does being tall help a car’s performance?

They should be ashamed.

By: deantj

deantj — Thu, 24 May 2007 19:52:42 +0000

I like crossovers – fast, a little extra space, no compromises. You don’t like it? It’s OK, YOU’RE the chronic masturbator scraping by while Porsche is making billions off your monkey asses.
