“Incredible Place To Buy A Car‎”

Check out this awesome review we got from one of our amazing customers!
I have to say, I truly was blown away by the staff at Porsche of North Houston. When I bought my first Porsche, a Panamera, my salesman was so knowledgeable and low pressure... great! I have serviced my Porsche there on many occasions and have been so impressed with their company in every way. Need I say more? I've referred many friends and will continue to do so!‎”- Steve Hill

Motor Trend SUV of the Year: The 2011 Porsche Cayenne

Did you hear? Motor Trend named the 2011 Porsche Cayenne as the SUV of the year. The exceptional Porsche Cayenne beat out 15 other SUVs for the title. Motor Trend praised the 2011 Porsche Cayenne for its enhancements in engineering, design, efficiency, safety, value and performance. “With strong showings in the engineering and efficiency areas, an attractive exterior, a thoughtful interior design, a full roster of active and passive safety gear and a high value rating on its opening price, the Cayenne was quite obviously the winner. The fact that the Cayenne's driving experience eclipsed that of every other contender was just a bonus,” said Motor Trend’s Editor-in-Chief, Angus MacKenzie.

The new Cayenne offers four engine choices and the powertrains were lightened by 400 pounds. Wow! Even though the Cayenne expanded the exterior, the new Porsche seems sleeker and more slender. Also, the brakes are top of the line, allowing the vehicle to stop from 60mph in just 107 feet. The on-road handling and grip is better than any other SUV on the market, today.

President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America Inc., Detlev von Platen said, "Porsche wanted to deliver more Porsche qualities – more performance, more comfort and a new-yet-evolutionary look – and make it more fuel efficient. We hit the mark.”

This is what clients want and is also our number one goal,” said Blue.
