Porsches are not typically renowned for having a wealth of interior space. In fact, it's historically been a bonus if you can get the driver inside - let alone a packet of Tic-Tacs to aid minty fresh breath for all those hot chicks you're not going to meet as a result of owning one.
So the Cayenne does carry the small USP of being the only model in the lease Porsche line-up with the ability to accommodate a whole baguette with all the windows closed.
However, we all know that's not why it came into being. Porsche were simply following a rapid growth sector in the market - rightly so; it's not their fault that the SUV virus is spreading faster than a 1980s sexual disease.
But to add to the nonsensical nature of this gullible fad, they're now following BMW in producing a smaller version. Just to clarify, that's a SMALLER version of their purposely BIG model??! Am I missing the logic in this? It can only be for people who want the Cayenne (yes, such people exist, it seems) but can't quite reach that deep into their pockets (see BMW X3 drivers).
Why is there no shame? Why are so many people brainwashed into thinking there's any logical reason to spend so much money on such a comedy car?
I console myself by the notion that I'm stuck in an episode of Dr Who, where the baddies have infiltrated the Porsche company and are using it's influence to implement an evil plan. The Doctor will soon be here to show everyone the true error of their ways and the story will end happily with a great moral lesson about the disastrous consequences of brand worship over the perpetuation of glorious human individuality and freedom of thought.
Sadly, though, I fear my theory is optimistic boll****. Look out for more silly Porsches on the roads.
