I often find myself polarized by the Cayenne. Half the time I like them, half I don't. Always seems to come down to wheel and tire selection. They CAN be done tastefully; attractively. But, usually, any attempt to "spruce" them up ends in fugly. And why so many gilled air intakes? Less is more people... especially on the Cayenne.
The two foulest are the Russian ones, closely followed by the Indian Shiva God of Chaos. The Russians need to stay with what they make best, scary post-apocalyptic mud machines and tall blondes with exotic accents. Everything else looks just plain bizarre.
This "Top" ten makes me yearn for the Panamera... Not because I like the Panamera, but because it will give us what all these tuners are attempting: a 4-door road warrior from Porsche. Then maybe we can start to see some Cayennes with lift kits, trimmed fenders clearing 35's, rock sliders and winch bumpers. I'd like to see more of these in Baja, the Dakar Rally, Moab, and Glamis.
@Alphamazing: Yes, that's a step in the right direction... we can check Dakar and maybe Baja off the list. But there's still plenty of ground to be covered.
Also, wasn't there some horrible dragon-esque Cayenne once upon a time? Or was that a Touareg or X5 or something. It's burned in my brain, but I can't find it.
We have nifty lights that dim based on the ambient lighting or when your turn signal is on. The rest of the time, expect others on the road to be distracted by your LED bonanza.
We have nifty seats with air conditioning so you don't get swamp ass.
We have an "aerodynamics" package and wheels that manage to avoid the boyracer look.
We have a suspension lowering system that let ride low and slow or, for that one time you might go on gravel, high. Overall travel is an impressive 110 mm.
We also give you engine modifications including electronics, air filter, turbo, oil and water performance, manifolds, cat, pipes, and throttle which boost power to 680hp and torques to 900 Nm. An optics kit puts some shiny carbon under the hood.
