Porsche Debuts the 2008 Cayenne

In a darkly shrouded room below Cobo Hall, Porsche introduced its new 2008 Porsche Cayenne. The German automaker says it touched every part of the Cayenne in order to make it more attractive for the future. Not that the Cayenne has been floundering since its introduction in 2002. The first generation has sold 150,000 units to date, 60,000 of those in the U.S...

alone.

The new Cayenne is more powerful, more defined and 15 percent more fuel efficient than its predecessor. Three models will be offered: Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo. Pricing starts at $43,400 and climbs to $93,700 for the Turbo before options.

Porsche CEO Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking also mentioned Porsche's huge potential for the future following the success of the first generation Cayenne. He mentioned his excitement regarding the upcoming 2009 Panamera sedan. He started to say, "With the extension of our model range, we feel good about the next five years," before a PR flack quickly shut down his mic.
