Cayenne Canadian Driver - First Drive: 2008 Porsche Cayenne

[Merc1]

As with any Porsche, personalization is as easy as placing check marks on the lengthy list of optional equipment. A base 2008 Cayenne retails for $58,900, but you may feel the need to add a few items such as metallic paint ($960), Bi-Xenon headlights with washers ($2,180), 21-inch wheels ($7,580), a 12-way power adjustable seat with memory ($1,800), heated front seats and steering wheel ($780), Bose surround sound system ($2,330) and DVD-based navigation and rear entertainment system ($4,290). It can add up.

The Cayenne S starts at $78,500 with a similar list of options, while the Turbo includes many optional items at a starting price of $124,300. Still, check off all the optional items and the price of a 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo can escalate to just a shade under $140,000.
