I've seen a few out on test drives and I'm leaning towards the dislike camp. The rear of the car is awkward, and while I'm sure its a very nice car inside and performs well, I can think of a host of different sports/lux sedans that I would choose over it, especially at $90k to $130k. I do like the front and profile until you get to the rear door handle. If they made the rear more traditional looking or went full out station wagon it would move up on my list, but even then fall short to the Aston(it better with that 200k price tag), Maserati and likely one or two of the others. They sure sound pretty sweet though.
P.S. I love the Cayenne and couldn't care about the Porsche traditionalists complaints that the brand is being diluted. The vehicles are still upper-echelon performance machines and help the bottom line while introducing Porsche to new customer bases. I see it as a win-win situation, I just wish the car was a little easier on my eyes.
