The Cayenne. Probably the most maligned Porsche by those people that say "I can't believe Porsche would build a (fill in the blank)!", shake their heads and mutter as they walk away. Hey, some folks just can't get over the fact that Porsche, the … [Read more...]
Porsche's entry-level model, the Boxster, has been blessed with a complete re-do. This radical surgery has been the make-over that much of the tentative fan base has been waiting for. Let's get this out of the way right now. Whether you liked it … [Read more...]
