Even Porsche is making a Vibe look-a-like

Post by Campbell »

It looks like the Vibe is leading the charge for the crossover style. Even Porsche is making a Vibe look-a-like.from WardsAuto.com:Porsche May Sell Every Cayenne, But is That the Point? As if anticipating the debutante's grand entrance, Porsche executives anxiously awaited as we broke from our early morning meeting for our first "in person" glimpse of the new Cayenne cross/utility vehicle.

Sorry but that Porsche shouldn't be considered in the same class as a Vibe. Sure both are crossovers, but the Vibe realistically ranks in the super economy crossover category. That Porsche is in the MDX/X5/M-class category. Way way way out of the Vibe league.Like I said, you cannot compare the Vibe to that Porsche - you might as well compare a CRV to a Hummer (both are SUV's afterall ) Apples to apples - oranges to oranges....

I seen this car at the NAIAS. I thought it was ugly. When I think of Porsche, this is not a vehicle I think of. I have to agree with you that it should not be in the same class as the Vibe.
