the updated Cayenne

This picture made me realize that no matter how much Porsche nips and tucks it's undeniably successful SUV, it will always be an ungainly sportified truck.

For the second generation, Porsche really needs to think radical. I am sure that it can still share the platform with VW Touareg / Audi A7 / Bentley / Skoda / Lotus (if the rumours are true), but it really needs unique sheetmetal: lower sidewindows, swoopier lines and less ground clearence will ensure the "Porsche tank" headline dies forever.

And in case Messr Wiedenking gets cold feet about messing with (ugly) success, he should look at Maserati's Kubang GT Wagon to see how a really sexy sports-SUV should be done.
