    I can never understand, if you were spending that much on a car, why would you want a diesel?

    resale value, running costs, that said, a diesel Porsche proves how they're diluting the brand.

    Diesel is hardly a sign of poverty. Edit - to clarify my point, sometimes a diesel engine is actually one of the more desirable in the model range - for instance the BMW 535d.

    This is what happens when accountants start running things. Pointless venture. What next, a Lambo MPV?

    It's the Porsche Cayenne though - they have hardly ruined a masterpiece.

    I was horrified when Porsche launched the Cayenne. But now they're fitting a cheap Volkswagen diesel engine in it as well? :mad:

    The only decent 4x4 diesel development as of late is the Subaru Forester Boxer Diesel.

    The Porche Diesel idea just don't tug my rug at all.

    LOL, the LM002 had a timing problem. Had it been launched in Dublin only in 2006 (instead of a global launch in 1986) with a retail price of €200k (in girls' money about 5 posh hand bags) in Brown Thomas, it would have been a major marketing success :D

    Only thing I liked about the Cayenne was the headlights that looked around corners for you.

    or, if they don't do a diesel, there won't be a brand to dilute. More in their line to make the flat 6 a diesel.

    At least then the oil leak will be unexpected :rolleyes: !

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Makes me laugh, most of ye thought that a diesel R8 was a good idea, but when a Porsche badge is applied it "dilutes the Porsche brand".

    What's wrong with a diesel Cayenne? Don't anyone say that the Cayenne is a proper Porsche, a proper Porsche is a sports car, not an SUV anyway. They diluted the Porsche brand by building a yummy mummy's car, not by putting a diesel into a yummy mummys car. The damage was done years ago when Porsche decided to build a Cayenne in the first place.

    Why is diesel a great idea in a supercar, but not in a 4X4? I always thought it would be the other way around, no:confused:? Diesel is best suited to working vehicles, not in thrill machines like a supercar. That was why Rudolf Diesel invented the engine named in his honour for in the first place.

    As an aside, Audi aren't bothering with the hybrid Q7 after all, "the numbers don't add up" apparently. They're sticking with diesel instead for the US.

    Wonder how this will affect the Cayenne hybrid?

    a) Audi are well known for their TDI engines and they do not really make sportscars a la Porsche
    b) Building a sportscar with a high performance diesel can only strengthen their brand, especially in the US where "TDI" is a brand in its own right.

    At least they are not putting a single cylinder semi diesel engine into the Cayenne!

    Don't think Porsche ever made the tractor for any longer than a few years post WWII., the name was licenced out for most of the production. They were quite common in Ireland though.

    Stunning looking tractor for the period.

    Their is more to Porsche than a 911. Why can't they diversify into different markets and have a diesel engine. So went the world oil supplies run out you wouldn't want Porsche to try something new. The Panamera is coming out soon and i bet that will come in for the same criticism. It's not a real Porsche. A Porsche shouldn't have 4 doors. Blah, blah blah.

    With a diesel Cayenne, Porsche have come up with the automotive equivalent of an Irish solution to an Irish problem.

    They should bin the Cayenne if they're that concerned about their carbon footprint, and put BMW EfficientDynamics technologies into their sports cars, which can cut CO2 emissions by up to 23%, and make proper Porsches lighter, which would get down the CO2 even more, instead of this 4X4 rubbish.

    The Cayenne earns porsche enough money to spend on R&D for their sports cars. No Cayenne, no sports cars :)

    My point was that VW already build this car only better looking, with a decent choice of Diesel engines.

    As Clarkeson says in Top Gear of the V10 TDI: What an engine.

    It is interesting though that the Cayenne is the main earner for Porsche.
