Crazy About Automobiles: Volkswagen forces Porsche to kill the Cayenne And Panamera

Now that Volkswagen AG is set to buy 49 percent of porsche AG, we’re going to see some major changes in Porsche’s product lineup.

According to report by UK’s CAR Magazine, Volkswagen will end up killing the Porsche Cayenne SUV - and even more surprisingly - the recently introduced Panamera four-door sedan. The report says that Porsche will eventually be forced to discontinue the Cayenne and the Panamera after their product cycles are complete seven years from now.

“VW Group has plenty of SUVs and saloons [sedans] — it doesn’t need Porsche to build them,” says the report.

While that may be music to the ears of true Porsche lovers, under Ferdinand Piech Porsche will be sharing at least one platform with a future Volkswagen. Think along the lines of the production Bluesport Concept.

nothing of value was lost.

Exactly what i was thinking. The Panamera was horrendous from the concept alone and I never gave a shit about the Cayenne. Good luck Porsche, stop trying to delve into market's you were never meant to be in...

now throw that TT v8 from the panamera into a cayman then we're talking. The boxster and the cayman are just too similar. They should just have a Cayman with a vert option and more motor choices. Cayman cause it's MR not RR

why stop the Panamera after spending all that money making it.
