Here are some nice shots of the Porsche booth in Geneva showing the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. Seems like we miss something.

In the recent years German sports car makers Porsche have expanded out of its usual sports car market with the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne SUV and currently with its new Panamera sedan. However the VW led company is planning to take Porsche back to its original roots.

Even though the Cayenne has been one of the biggest money maker for Porsche in the recent years, the SUV does not really fall well in the sports car image of the company. Due to this Volkswagen has decided to cut off the Cayenne from Porsche product line after the next line of the SUV has run its course. An updated version of the Cayenne will give way for the 2011 model year but no updates are expected thereafter.

Another surprising move by Volkswagen is its decision to ax the recently launched Porsche Panamera Sedan. According to sources the Cayenne and Panamera are expected to end their life cycle with a stop in production sometime in 2016.

Despite the reduction in models, VW is said to be doing a new entry level car for Porsche. The yet to be announced car is said to slot between the Porsche Boxster. For true blood Porsche enthusiasts, the removal of the Cayenne and the Panamera is welcome news.

Refreshing or Revolting: 2011 Porsche Cayenne

Porsche's second-generation 2011 Cayenne SUV takes more than a few styling cues from the Panamera sedan.

From the exterior to the new interior, the 2011 Cayenne design team clearly used the new Porsche four-door as inspiration. Does the new SUV feature more appealing styling than the sometimes-awkward looking first-generation model? Let's take a look.

The headlights are rounder than before and show a resemblance to the Panamera. The three-part lower grille on the 2011 model more seamlessly integrates LED daytime running lights and isn't as imposing as on the 2010 Cayenne. That SUV had an off-putting grille, but from the side view, the changes aren't dramatic.

From the rear, it's more Panamera. The rounder LED taillights take up more space on the tailgate, which has a bar of chrome at its bottom plus a black lower fascia for more contrast.

Inside, we can't help but mention the Panamera connection when talking about the 2011 Cayenne's center stack of buttons (or the steering wheel). The dual grab handles for driver and passenger remain, but the air vents are vertical and now trimmed in silver. Overall, the look is modern and should hold up well aesthetically 5 to 10 years from now

Would you agree? What do you think about the Porsche Panamera's design? Tell us in the comments section below.

Last week, the 2011 Jaguar XJ met with mostly positive reviews except for the odd blacked-out C-pillar. "This car wears the new look better than the XF," said narebman. "I'm not sure about the C-pillar treatment. I'm sure there are some over-stuffed artsy types that could break it down for me but I just don't get it. It certainly wouldn't stop me from buying one though.

Zuleonreal liked it too: "If this car were a woman, I would ask for its number."

"Absolutely refreshing," said ktkof09, "except...the black C-pillar."
