Porsche fanatics, hang on to your defibrilators. The oil-burning Porsche SUV bastard spawn known as the Cayenne Diesel is coming to America, and it will be priced fairly reasonably.
At $55,770, the Diesel is nearly $10,000 less than a Cayenne S, but about $7,000 more than a Cayenne V6. It’s also nearly $1,000 less than a BMW X5 35d but $5,770 more than a Mercedes ML350 BlueTec.
The 3.0-liter V6 will put out 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque,with a 0-60 time of 7.6 seconds. A 7,716 lbs towing capacity, along with fuel economy ratings of 20/28/23 mpg round out the package.

It used to be Porsche made exciting cars for the sports car niche. Today they are trying to make cars for every niche. Ferdinand must be weeping in Valhalla.
Wow, that's close to the mileage I get in my 3er wagon! How do these hulks drive? I drove one a few years ago with a V8 and was throughly disappointed. I do like the new interior, though. Wouldn't this essentially be a Toureg Diesel with a better interior?
Mercs are selling more bluetecs in Canuckstan, so Oel burning Cayenne has to crash the party a tad late. Q7 and Toureg has oel burners too. Not seeing that many Dsl toureg nowadays.
Bloody hell...what is it about Porsche and Audi pricing in Canada? Here, the bottom of the line Cayenne starts at 56.6k. An A4 Sedan starts at $37.8K. This is with a dollar on par with the US...
