The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
8.4
7.8

TCC’s Bottom Line
The novelty of the four-door coupe/SUV is wearing off, but the X6's combination of utility and composed driving style still pleases. Despite some issues with practicality, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne is a luxurious and supremely capable performer.
