Report: Porsche is developing a 7-seat SUV even bigger than the Cayenne
According to a recent report from Automotive News and The Drive, Porsche is developing a massive three-row SUV with a vertical rear tailgate codenamed Landjet. Don't get me wrong, Porsche Landjet is a super awesome name, and I hope something eventually gets that name, but do we really want a Porsche family hauler? Does anyone? Apparently Porsche …

Oliver Mezger has a long familial history with this particular Porsche 911. When he was just a boy laying in bed while his father Hans worked late, the car was a lullaby to let young Oliver know that his father had arrived home from a long day of making Porsches go faster, and he was free to fade into the depths of slumber.

In recent years it has seemed inevitable that every automotive manufacturer would be spun off into its own stock IPO. After all, why not?
