#31 of 729 Re: Porsche Cayenne and VW Tauoreg? [martian] by qbrozen Nov 21, 2005 (12:36 pm)
Replying to: martian (Nov 21, 2005 12:20 pm) actually, i see a relatively large number of cayenne's here in central Jersey. More often than i see toureags (i'm unsure of the spelling as well). As a matter of fact, the only Porsche I see more of is the Boxster. Its quite surprising.
#32 of 729 Now that I think about it... by andre1969 Nov 21, 2005 (12:46 pm)
I think I see the Cayenne a bit more often than the Touraeg ( I had to look it up ) as well. According to http://www.aicautosite.com/editoria/asmr/svsuv.asp, the Touraeg does outsell the Cayenne...through August 31 the VW sold 11,994 units, vs 8,806 for the Porsche. Not a bad showing overall, though, considering SUVs were a new territory for both of them (well, there was the VW Thing!) I thought the Touraeg was cool from the moment I saw it, but I figured the Cayenne would be a total flop. Replies to this message: prosa (Nov 21, 2005 12:56 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 21, 2005 12:46 pm) VW claims that Touareg sales are meeting expectations. Maybe so, but to keep things in perspective note that RX300 sales are triple that of the Touraeg's, and MDX sales more than double.

Replying to: martian (Nov 21, 2005 12:20 pm) The Cayenne is selling just fine. I mean, it's sort of in a class of it's own. Porsche doesn't sell on high volume, so 1,000+ units each month is pretty good for them. The Touareg isn't doing quite so hot. Although a sister vehicle to the Cayenne, the Touareg competes more directly with the X5, RX330, and MDX. The V-dub's sales don't come close to what the market will bear. edit: Prosa beat me to the point.

Replying to: goodegg (Nov 21, 2005 2:50 pm) Somebody here will have the #'s, but I think the Aveo is doing well and the Cobalt is doing O.K. Replies to this message: chuck1 (Nov 21, 2005 4:20 pm) falconone (Nov 26, 2005 3:21 pm)

Replying to: volvodan1 (Nov 21, 2005 2:59 pm) Aveo is doing well. I have read the Aveo is GM's biggest seller. Replies to this message: falconone (Nov 26, 2005 3:21 pm)
#38 of 729 styling styling styling by gambit293 Nov 21, 2005 (5:30 pm)
To me, it's all in the styling. IMO, Subaru and VW have shot themselves in the feet by picking basically fugly designs and slapping them on their entire line-ups. I wouldn't at all be surprised if both companies are forced to restyle much earlier than planned. If Ford still churning out Tauri? Once they axe that brute, the 500 should get a healthy fleet jolt.
