Camouflage did a good job, it looks like the new MKII is bigger and longer than its predecessor. Love the new front and interior, but the rear light needs a serious make over. With the growing dimension of new Cayenne II, are we expecting a compact version from Porsche in the future?

You mean the best color for this bus ?
Acutally I love that color on this SUV/Bus
Still black is hottest and most mafia.

^Lol...I think I would prefer Black, Silver, Blue or Dark Green. The yellow is too bright for me.
Overall I think it looks great and a job well done.

The rear is perfect! Very clean and simple.

Applying a unique sports car design philosophy to a SUV must have presented a huge paradigm shift for Porsche designers first time around. Other than the move being seen as sacrilege by many of us, the resultant Cayenne I lost a lot of its 'Porscheness' in translation. No doubt for Porsche the decision to move into the SUV segment was life saving stroke of genius as it was a commercial success but something was always missing.
This time around the Cayenne II appears more focused, it's design although evolutionary has Porsche hallmarked all over it. Perhaps we have got used to the idea of the Porsche SUV over time, the Cayenne II is now to my eyes more Porsche than simply SUV. Love the exterior (even the rear lights), the interior is amazing and there is no doubt the engineering will be pure Porsche.
Altogether a better package than the Panamera - does anyone know if the Hybrid S is destined for the USA?

After the spy pics of that orange prototype that revealed the rear light shape I was really hoping it wasn't the final product. Unfortunately, it was. 
It's really annoying since otherwise the Cayenne looks very good. But the busy & shapeless rear lights only makes you think of Korean SUVs. I mean usually Porsches look like they have been perfected to the smallest of details but here it looks like they just let some kid with Play Dough do the rear design...
Anyway, the front, the side & the interior are great and so are the engines.

I like it much better than the previous one cause it actually has a real shape and facia, but it still not the prettiest SUV out there, they had to start on a very low level with the initial DNA, can't expect miracles, interior is very nice.
The rear looks like a mix of Jaguar X type and Panamera to me. Don't ask me why, but those are the first cars I thought of when I saw the back just now...
As for the car: like the new front, like the new side, love the new interior and am a bit indifferent about the back. The back need some getting used to, but it's not ugly. Only maybe the backlights from certain angles...
Overall, the new Cayenne is much better resolved than the Panamera imo. That car will always look ugly from certain angles.
But I think it's safe to say we're looking at the new benchmark in it's class.... Well done Porsche, other than that Audi diesel engine which is just a horrible thought....

First thing's first.
The weight reduction is full of amazement, and has sliced acceleration to 4.7sec nicely matching that of the X5-M. That should slience the select few BMw fans who claimed that the Turbo S is the X5-M competitor rather than the similarly priced Turbo version. Though it's worth mentioning that at higher speeds the X5-M would sprint away from the Porsche owing to the 55 extra horse powers.
Like they say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Despite a wide spread public dislike of the Cayenne Mk.I, sales speaking louder than comments from enthusiasts and the press. Customers loves the Cayenne and thus Porsche had no legitimate reason to heavily alter the design. This is the Panamera all over again: loud outcries of ugliness which will be slightly muted once half of the opposition have seen the car in the metal.
I find it to be an admirable evolution with interesting tail lights which IMO is the biggest attraction of car - not to mention the Panamera inspired interior. Together, the two will give Porsche customers were few reasons to seek practicality and thrill elsewhere.

I must say I like it very much... significant improvement over the current one, which wasn't that hard a task (design wise, at least
)
Shame that the manual is only available in the base V6 petrol engine. Is this the only remaining large luxury SUV to offer it at all?

I retire all what I said about that car.
It's actually much, much worse than the first gen (didn't think it was humanly feasible...).
That front is a joke. Vulgar, tacky, tasteless. Next gen will feature a front made out of air intakes only, or what?
No, of course: it also will have an obvious and poorly integrated radar-lens in the middle...
The rear... well, it's better to laugh than to cry isn't it? Okay, it might be necessary to cry nonetheless, in such a desperate case. Good that PORSCHE is written so big, nobody'd recognize it... It even has afterthought randomy placed red things near the exhausts...
I hope it'll be sold with standard sunglasses, so you don't burn your eyes looking at all that tacky ugliness.
