Porsche’s Cajun Connection

A new report is out that Porsche’s new sport utility vehicle will be even spicier in name than its “Cayenne” predecessor. Apparently, Porsche has opted for “Cajun” as the working name for its forthcoming compact SUV which is expected to debut in 2013 or 2014. Alright, I think we can all agree that Cajuns incorporate adventure, intriguingly spicy food and a real zest for life into their everyday approach, but naming this new car after them may be pushing this whole Louisiana thing a bit too far. Remember, the term “Cajun” refers to descendants of Acadian immigrants from Nova Scotia. How this relates to one of the world’s best sports car lines, well, your guess is as good as mine. But if it’s in line with the performance of the “Cayenne (2011 model pictured),” “Cayman,” and “Panamera” models, the new “Cajun” could be the ride that bridges the generational gap between Porsche’s older enthusiasts and the younger crowd looking for something fast and affordable.
