Yes, but did you read this from an earlier post? It contradicts what you are saying.
When Porsche’s Cayenne first hit the scene, the company famous for building sports cars was criticized for selling out with the launch of an overweight SUV derived from mundane family haulers from sister-companies VW and Audi.
Rumors soon emerged claiming Porsche would launch a smaller ultra-performance SUV to maintain its sporty image but CEO Wendelin Wiedeking quickly put those rumors to bed.
Instead, it appears Porsche’s next-generation Cayenne will be that ‘smaller’ SUV. Due to arrive in late 2009, the new Cayenne is tipped to be based on Audi’s upcoming Q5 architecture – relegating it to the midsize SUV segment. These latest renderings give us an early look at the new SUV, revealing it will be markedly smaller than the current model. It will feature shorter overhangs and will lose any pretensions of being a genuine off-road vehicle.
