Lexus made a name for itself building unimpeachably well-engineered and well-built luxury cars that were also, let's be honest, a little bit beige. Impressive values, sure, and cool in their own normcore way (I'd love to have a Floridian grandpa-style early 1990s LS, personally), but beige. ....

The 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Is More Cayenne Than Coupe
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Is More Cayenne Than Coupe!
The new 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe joins a segment surrounded by a constellation of controversy.
Porsche, like many of its rivals, is bending the commonly accepted notion of a coupe by using the term to denote a model with four doors. This practice splits observers into two camps. The first argues the four-door coupe trend badly needs to be checked rather than cultivated. The second combatively pushes for the opposite. Its manifesto states automakers can call their SUV-fastback cross anything they want as long as they keep their promise of delivering a relatively stylish car that drives well.
The Cayenne Coupe lushly serenades the members of this latter group with the song of a swoopy roof line.
At launch, the Cayenne Coupe will come in three different flavors. The base model, which packs a turbocharged V6, starts at $75,300. The mid-range Cayenne Coupe S carries a base price of $88,600, while the Cayenne Coupe Turbo sets buyers back $130,100.

One particularly interesting bit regarded the shooting brake, which Nurnberger said, "we sort of started it and then realized to make a really good shooting brake we had to do a lot more engineering." Thus, the long-roof Vanquish actually has a longer wheelbase than the rest of the cars. According to Nunberger, the rear of the car is taken from a modular platform and is essentially a rear of a Rapide that has been added on. Of course, that required total reengineering, retesting, as well as re-crashing to bring it to production......
