Picked up the Cayenne today

Hi guys,

Went to pick up our new Cayenne today. No turbo, as we are keeping the existing first generation - plus with the congestion these days, you feel the performance once in a blue moon. It's the best bargain for money out there.

The diesel engine (although sourced from VW/Audi) is extremely quiet and smooth. Not to mention, powerful for it's displacement

Here are some photos. At the showroom.






Back at home :

Keeping the old one, not worth it to sell.

Thanks jox, I'll remember to keep the bank of jox in mind for the Turbo S
The diesel was over 120k USD local price

Thanks guys!

@sean: Nope! I ordered it like that to keep it low maintenance as they are easy to clean Plus this will be more of a work horse and one thing I learned from the CTT, was the big wheels are impractical here. I have repaired the 20 inch wheels several times due to the road conditions here
