In recent days, we’ve heard several rumors about new SUV projects from Volkswagen and Audi . These include the Audi Q5 , Audi Q3, and the Volkswagen Golf SUV. These rumors have lead many enthusiasts to speculate about similar offerings from Porsche , which already shares a platform for its Cayenne SUV with the VW Touareg. According to a report published yesterday by Germany’s Auto Zeitung magazine, Porsche is planning an SUV positioned against the BMW X3 . The new Porsche SUV is said to share a platform with the proposed Audi Q5, while the Golf SUV and Q3 will share a separate architecture. Will another new model from Porsche further dilute the brand — as suggested by columnist Robert Farago — or is a compact crossover a good idea? (Pictured right is Auto Zeitung‘s rendering of how the SUV could look.)
