What’s new

　　We would've never imagined it, but Porsche jumps onto the SUV gravy train. The Cayenne, with a choice of two potent V8s and an available active suspension, promises performance that's more like a 911 than an SUV.

　　Now 911 Turbo owners know what SUV to buy for those road trips to ski country.
