Wilton used Porsche customers can soon get the Porsche Cayenne hybrid
Is it as hot and spicy as its name implies? The 2010 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid promises to be a hot seller, as it seems to be what some Porsche buyers demanded. The company met challenges to produce a green car, although that's likely not the top reason Porsche buyers will flock to the showroom.
This gasoline/electric mix will arrive, well we don't know when. Porsche is not forthcoming with many of the details on this vehicle. Your Wilton used Porsche, though, does have older, non-hybrid models of the Cayenne in stock. It has been a big seller by Porsche standards, selling 150,000 units in its five-year history.
Even though it's a hybrid, the new Cayenne version is still all Porsche - that's probably what delayed its production so long. But it's here now. Or at least being produced now. When it will hit U.S. shores we can't say.
When the Cayenne SUV was first introduced, Porsche needed it to help boost sales - and it worked. Weston used Porsche customers can get great deals on pre-owned Cayenne models. The new models, though, have been a bit pricey, ranging from $44,000-$123,000.
But back to the Cayenne hybrid. Porsche teamed up with Audi Q7 and Touareg to help keep costs on this project low. I guess even competitors in the auto industry can get along when it means saving money. For Porsche, though, this wasn't just about satisfying a niche in the green vehicle market. It was about maintaining the integrity of the Porsche name and what it represents - an impeccable driving experience.
Well, Porsche managed to achieve that goal. Without sacrificing speed or driving appeal, the German automaker somehow managed to pull off the Cayenne Hybrid and can now be counted among the environmentally-sensitive companies on the planet.
Wilton used Porsche customers will appreciate Porsche's efforts to retain the power and speed they expect in a Porsche model and will like being environmentally responsible at the same time. This project may also have helped catapult Porsche ahead of the game for implementing new fuel-economy and emissions standards that will soon be required of all auto makers.
So how will the Cayenne Hybrid be received here in the United States when seemingly every other auto maker has a "green" vehicle on the market and brands like Toyota, with the Prius, have dominated with a reasonable price and appeal to the environmentally conscious?
Will the Cayenne Hybrid have an appeal to Porsche owners? Is driving green a top priority to that demographic? It probably will be when they find out that Porsche did not sacrifice any of the elements they love in order to go over to the green side.
How will it fare with those who haven't driven a Porsche previously? Will this be the catalyst that propels them into Porschedom? Maybe some have just been waiting for a Porsche that smiles at the environment. The price shouldn't be prohibitive to other luxury car owners, so perhaps they will opt for Porsche performance this go-around.
We obviously have more questions than answers, but that's not a bad thing. It gives us something to look forward to, along with the Cayenne Hybrid, of course.
