Then it's probably safe to say that you don't have enough info to pass judgement.

Personally, yes... the Cayene is fast... but to me, a truck-like Porsche is just not right and it doesn't look right. Even the VW variant, the Tourag, with it's more conventional SUV looks still doesn't look right to me. Something odd about the proportions. Granted, technically, both vehicles are pretty impressive. I don't believe in do-all, be-all anything. A sporty truck will never match a thorough-bred sports car. Likewise, a high riding 4wd thorough-bred sports car (even a rally car) can never match a purpose built truck. You can't carve canyons in a truck like you can with a sports car... and you can't go rock crawling or river fording with a rally car. For those who just like cars... you have to have at least one of each.
