The Appeal
In 2002, Porsche introduced their first off-road vehicle since their 1950s tractors. The Cayenne was an instant smash hit - and has become an easy contender for a modern classic. These game-changing SUVs redefined the image of the Stuttgart brand, and quickly made it the most profitable part of Volkswagen AG - most likely as it perfectly hit the burgeoning luxury SUV market and conquered the zeitgeist with ease.
This example is a great ambassador for the Cayenne line - boasting only 52,083 miles on the block, the iconic pre-facelift design, and, of course, a 4.5L V8 with multi-mode transmission. What more could you ask for?
