It'll be about 60+K U.S. There will be a 75K twin turbo Porsche Cayenne as well. Sad the way sport cars are being replaced by sport trucks to appease poor American taste. Hopefully, the coming gas crunch will teach them all a lesson. The bright future shows that Compact UV's will replace SUV in the near future. At least they're smaller.

As if the Porsche name wasn't getting degraded enough.. They might as well put out sedans and compact cars too.
Wonder when we'll get a Ferrari SUV.

the prototype's 16 will be a W12. There is a lot of R&D in this motor and it will be shared and fully utilized in all of Herr Dr.'s products.

Looks like some rumours of the TT-S will be fulfilled with a VW badge, not Audi.

R&T VW Roadster scroll down

in a VW product, unless it is the D1

VW SUV? Na..for what?

The VW SUV IMHO will have the W8 that is being used in the Passat and there has been talk about a TDI with around 450 lb/ft of torque....

I also dont believe that a VW Roadster will have this W12.....

When you see something concrete....let me know
