STUD OR DUD? New Porsche Cayenne Uncloaked Ahead Of Geneva!

The new Porsche Cayenne has been spied testing virtually undisguised ahead of its launch at the Geneva show in March.

Like the current model, the new Cayenne shares much of its mechanical make-up and chassis with the Volkswagen Touareg. We’ll see the new Touareg at the Detroit show next month.

The Cayenne in our pictures has nothing more than some tape around the lights and covering the badges to hide its identity.

Despite the overall similarity to the current car, it’s clear that Porsche has toned down the Cayenne’s controversial styling. The front end is less aggressive, with smaller, thinner air intakes and more elegant headlamps. The bulges in the bonnet are less prominent, too, contributing to the Porsche’s lighter, more delicate look.

Dunno man the things looks too "girlish" for me. The outgoing model looks way better.

Dud. Even more generic than the first iteration. Will be confused with the flood of similarly generic Chinese copies that are heading our way.

What happened to the grille and this one looks smaller than the present model. Not looking good so far.

It might just only from this angle, but don't the headlights look like the ones on the out-going Golf?

I've never liked the Cayenne is this won't change my mind.

Why does this look like a big A3, with a porsche/fx esque front end. It neither looks better or sportier....

Looks more like a larger version of the last generation BNMW X3.

Styling has gone in the wrong direction! I must admit that the first generation is the best looking Cayenne of the lot!

Other than hood looking more "Porsche", it looks almost like the out-going model.
