Wouldn't be a Cayenne if... something plastic didn't break on a weekly basis.
Yesterday, I closed my door in cold weather and the small piece of CF trim next to the door handle decided to let go. This is 4th or 5th interior trim piece in the last 2 years.
Last week, despite my ever so careful effort to not strip the gears in the headlight locking mechanism, the tray decided it was going frag leaving just an exposed, but deeply buried and difficult to access flat rod to unlock the headlight.
Week before, the dreaded "Brake Booster Failure" warning light from another cracked plastic vacuum line connection.
Are they using biodegradable plastic in these things like the mid 90's mercedes wiring harness insulation? I have heard of planned obsolescence, but this takes the cake. We can talk about the build quality of American cars being poor all day long, but in my experience they just don't have these issues with plastic and rubber parts not standing the test of time.

It wouldn't be a Cayenne if you didn't hear an angry warning beep at least once every time you drive it.

It wouldn’t be a Cayenne if:
- after it rains my tail light didnt have condensation
- after every wash I didn’t get a front marker light out warning
- no matter how recently I filled the tank it shows half or less.

It wouldn't be a Cayenne (Turbo) if...
... every time you mash the gas, it didn't put a big smile on your face
which is why we put up with all the other stuff.
or... if 1 out of 8 times the alarm didn't go off when you lock it.

It wouldn’t be a Cayenne if there was no center grab bar, on the driver side, so your wife could gain leverage while she smacks you for doing 100 mph getting on the Interstate.
She: “What the hell are you doing?”
Me: “Merging.”
She: *whack*
Me: “You hit like a girl.”
