.. and not that I intended that to be ganging up on you, but the Porsche is WAY more that the VW - it has far superior engineering than the VW and handles significantly better than the VW both on and off the road.
Really, there is commonality in some of the systems, but the Cayenne is still a Porsche thoroughbred, even thought it's a platform that is shared with VW. You will remember that Porsche has done platform sharing many times over the decades.. remember, there was a VW version of the 356 and that's a well loved car.
It doesn't make me look at it any less like an illigitimate step-child, and dislike it in principle, but it is a well engineered (if not pretty) car.
